Ischemic stroke in infancy,childhood, and adolescence

The authors studied 34 patients with juvenile ischemic cerebrovascular disease over a 15-year period. Of the 34 patients, 23 had intracranial occlusions attributed to cerebral thrombosis or embolism and 11 had occlusions resulting from moyamoya disease. Clinicopathological features were evaluated in the 23 cases with ischemic stroke, but not those with moyamoya disease. The cause of the arterial occlusion remained undetermined in 11 patients and was found to be an embolism based on congenital heart disease in 8, on trauma in 3, and on infection in 1. Cerebral angiography was performed in 21 patients. Of these, 17 had stenoses or occlusions corresponding to their symptoms. CT scans were performed in 10 patients; the lesion in question showed no stenosis or occlusion with cerebral angiography. With regard to prognosis, patients with unknown etiology had good outcomes compared with those with congenital heart disease. With respect to acute infantile hemiplegia, 10 patients had convulsive seizures and 4 had a history of an earlier infection. Angiography and CT scans in patients with congenital heart disease demonstrated arterial occlusive sites in the middle cerebral artery region. Three patients had abscesses after their ischemic lesions.

Isolations of Corynebacterium kroppenstedtii from a breast abscess

The recently described species Corynebacterium kroppenstedtii was isolated from a breast abscess in a 38-year-old woman on two occasions. We discuss the pathogenic role of this bacteria and the methods used for its isolation.     

Applications of CT-adapted stereotaxis for the diagnosis and treatment of intracranial lesions

Summary Two hundred twenty five patients with intracranial lesions underwent diagnostic and therapeutic stereotactic surgery during the period 1978–1985. In the first 98 cases target coordinates were determined by transferring the information from the CT images to the standard stereotactic films. In the remainder, a simple, CT adapted stereotactic system has been used. Operations were as a rule performed under local anaesthesia. Positive histological diagnosis using paraffin embedding was achieved in 96% of the patients (biopsy success rate). Therapeutic procedures included abscess and cyst aspiration, cyst shunting, interstitial (Ir 192) or intracavitary (Y 90) irradiation and ventriculocisternostomy. Stereotactic surgery implied a refinement of the eventual therapeutic management in 90% of the cases. Transient neurological deficit occurred in 5.7% of the patients and there were three deaths (mortality rate 1.3%). Infection or other complications were not seen. The rationale and indications for non-functional stereotaxis are discussed.     

Bilateral brain abscesses complicating the use of crutchfield tongs

The case of a 4-year-old girl who developed bilateral brain abscesses complicating skull traction is reported. Crutchfield tongs were used to reduce a fracture dislocation at C2–3. Presenting symptoms consisted of headaches and focal seizures. Surgical treatment and antibiotics using serial CT led to a satisfactory outcome. This is the first reported case of this complication in a child. The current literature is reviewed.To whom offprint requests should be addressed at Avda. Pio Baroja 4, 30011 Murcia, Spain     

Intracerebral mass lesions in patients affected by AIDS

Summary Toxoplasma gondii cerebral abscess is a common opportunistic infection in patients affected by AIDS. Making a reliable diagnosis of acute cerebral toxoplasmosis is difficult in AIDS patients because of the lack of specificity of serological data and neuroradiological findings. Brain biopsy is the only procedure which enables a reliable diagnosis to be made a trial of specific medical therapy for toxoplasmosis in patients affected by AIDS and intracranial mass lesion can be advisable before performing brain biopsy. The authors report the cases of three patients affected by AIDS and cerebral toxoplasmosis.Tissue diagnosis was made in the first patient from autopsy material while a presumptive diagnosis was made in the other two cases since specific medical therapy resulted in a dramatic improvement of the neurological status.Despite the good possibilities in the treatment of this complication AIDS, however, carries a poor prognosis.     

超声清创联合重组人表皮生长因子治疗肛周脓肿合并感染的效果

目的探讨超声清创联合重组人表皮生长因子对肛周脓肿合并感染患者表皮细胞生长因子(Epidermal growth factor,EGF)、激活素A(Activin A,ACTA)水平及创面血流量的影响。方法选取2018年2月-2020年1月承德医学院附属医院肛周脓肿合并感染患者117例,依据随机数字表法分为对照A组(n=39)、对照B组(n=39)、联合组(n=39)。常规干预基础上对照A组采取超声清创,对照B组采取重组人表皮生长因子,联合组采取超声清创及重组人表皮生长因子。统计三组治疗情况、治疗前后疼痛程度评分、创面血流量及经皮氧分压、EGF、转化生长因子-β(Transforming growth factor-β,TGF-β)、ACTA、C-反应蛋白(C-reactive protein,CRP)水平及临床疗效。结果联合组创面愈合时间、感染控制时间、住院时间分别为(12.39±2.01)d、(5.22±1.56)d、(13.91±2.51)d短于对照A组、对照B组,创面细菌清除率为(89.13±4.64)%高于对照A组、对照B组(P<0.001);治疗后1 d、3 d、7 d、14 d三组VAS评分较治疗前降低,且联合组低于对照A组、对照B组(P<0.05);治疗后1 d联合组创面血流量及经皮氧分压分别为(0.92±0.25)PU、(35.69±3.20)mmHg大于对照A组、对照B组(P<0.05);治疗后1 d联合组血清EGF、TGF-β分别为(0.70±0.11)μg/L、(0.68±0.12)μg/L高于对照A组、对照B组(P<0.05);治疗后1 d联合组血清ACTA、CRP分别为(9.45±3.58)μg/L、(5.71±2.68)mg/L低于对照A组、对照B组(P<0.05);联合组疗效优于A组和B组(P<0.05)。结论联合采取超声清创及重组人表皮生长因子治疗肛周脓肿合并感染,可改善创面愈合及感染控制情况,缓解疼痛程度,增加创面血流量及经皮氧分压,调节EGF、ACTA等水平,提高整体治疗效果。
