Computed tomography imaging features for amyloid dacryolith in the nasolacrimal excretory system: A case report

BACKGROUNDNasolacrimal duct obstruction leading to epiphora is a common ophthalmologic complaint, and it may derive from amyloidosis in rare cases. There are a few reports about localized amyloidosis, and amyloidosis with involvement and obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct is exceedingly rare. CASE SUMMARYA 54-year-old male presented with a 2-year history of a lump overlying the left lacrimal sac that had grown rapidly for nearly half a year. Physical examination touched a firm lump in the left lacrimal sac. Nasal endoscopy discovered lesions in appearance of sediments with easy bleeding at the entry of the nasolacrimal duct of the left inferior nasal meatus. Computerized tomography scan revealed speckle high density in the left lacrimal sac and the dilated nasolacrimal duct. During an endoscopic exploration and excision, a large number of dacryoliths were exposed. Pathology indicated amorphous pink material and multinucleated giant cell reaction in the fibrous tissue.CONCLUSIONThis case showed amyloidosis in localized form mimicking dacryolith with nasolacrimal duct obstruction. In clinical practice, we should be aware of the possibility of localized amyloidosis in the nasolacrimal excretory system.     

白内障围手术期结膜囊菌群分布及药敏试验

目的 分析白内障围手术期结膜囊菌群的分布及药敏试验结果。方法 选取264例白内障患者,分别在患者入院后、手术消毒前、手术消毒后、手术结束后四个时间点取样,进行细菌培养及药敏试验,比较不同时期的细菌培养结果和药敏结果。结果 入院后结膜囊细菌培养阳性率明显高于手术消毒前、手术消毒后及手术结束后;入院后结膜囊细菌培养以表皮葡萄球菌为主;革兰氏阳性球菌对头孢西丁、加替沙星、左氧氟沙星等敏感性较高。结论 表皮葡萄球菌是结膜囊最常见的细菌,术前应常规应用抗生素点眼,聚维酮碘冲洗结膜囊等来预防术后感染性眼内炎。     

大鼠静脉窦高压致硬膜血管变化的研究

目的探讨大鼠静脉窦高压后硬膜血管变化及其静脉窦高压在硬脑膜动静脉瘘形成中的作用。方法体重200～250g的SD雄性大鼠110只,随机分为静脉窦高压组(85只)和假手术组(25只),将静脉窦高压组85只大鼠闭塞左侧横窦和上矢状窦前1／3,并吻合右侧颈总动脉和颈外静脉,制成静脉窦高压模型。假手术组大鼠单纯解剖相应的颈部血管和硬脑膜窦,但不行吻合或闭塞。术后90d,随机取7只静脉窦高压组大鼠和5只假手术组大鼠,行硬脑膜血管明胶墨汁灌注,观察硬膜血管的状况。结果术后90d静脉窦高压组和假手术组大鼠的硬膜血管数分别为(10.7±1.5)条／mm,(10.3±0.6)条／mm,差异无显著性。在静脉窦高压组中1只大鼠有硬脑膜动静脉瘘,其形态和结构与生理性动静脉短路类似。结论大鼠静脉窦高压一段时间后,颅内硬膜血管无明显增生。颅内硬脑膜动静脉瘘的形成很可能是由动静脉间的短路发展而来。     

Dural arteriovenous malformations at the base of the anterior cranial fossa: report of nine cases

Nine men with dural arteriovenous malformations (DAVM) at the base of the anterior cranial fossa are described. Four patients had intracerebral haemorrhage and four had seizures, associated with haemorrhage in two. In three cases the fistula was an incidental finding. In five cases the diagnosis could be made before angiography, on the basis of CT findings. Angiographically, venous drainage was always seen into ascending cortical veins. Five cases demonstrated drainage via the olfactory vein into the basal vein of Rosenthal; in four this way was the principal route of drainage. Five patients underwent surgery, the therapy of choice. One fistula closed spontaneously after angiography. Two patients refused treatment and one was not treated because of his poor general condition. Because arterial supply was usually bilateral, from small branches of the ophthalmic artery, embolisation seemed to be more dangerous. Compared to dural fistulae in other locations the DAVM of the anterior cranial fossa have a higher risk of complications and should be treated even if asymptomatic at the time of diagnosis.     

硬脑膜动静脉瘘65例

目的：对硬脑膜动静脉瘘临床诊断治疗特点进行探讨。方法：对60例患者行血管内栓塞治疗，5例行颈动脉压迫法治疗。其中13例1次栓塞，25 例行2次栓塞，17例行3次栓塞，5例行4次或多次栓塞，结果：治愈36例，好转25例，4例无效，无一例死亡，结论：硬脑膜动静脉瘘的临床表现和预后与其发病部位，静脉引流类型密切相关，颈动脉压迫法及选择性血管内栓塞是安全有效的治疗方法。     

侵及颅内主要静脉系统脑膜瘤的手术治疗

目的提高侵及颅内主要静脉系统脑膜瘤手术的全切率,总结利用显微外科技术切除肿瘤和处理颅内静脉系统的经验和技巧。方法我院1991年7月至2001年7月,手术治疗300例侵及颅内主要静脉系统的脑膜瘤,包括(1)矢状窦旁脑膜瘤;(2)大脑镰旁脑膜瘤;(3)小脑幕脑膜瘤;(4)横窦和窦汇区脑膜瘤;(5)镰幕脑膜瘤;(6)海绵窦脑膜瘤;(7)乙状窦脑膜瘤;(8)颈静脉孔区脑膜瘤。视肿瘤部位采用相应的手术入路,根据静脉系统受侵及的程度做不同的处理。结果按脑膜瘤切除的Simpson's分级,其中Ⅰ、Ⅱ级为全切除,全切率为86.7%,死亡率为1.7%。结论当脑膜瘤侵及不同的硬脑膜静脉窦或重要的颅内静脉时,手术处理方法不同。采用显微神经外科技术可提高脑膜瘤的全切率,并降低死亡率。     

Pituitary stalk meningioma: case report

We report a 45-year-old woman with a meningioma which was in contact with only the pituitary stalk on MRI. As the pituitary stalk has no dura mater, we suggest this tumour may have originated from the arachnoid membrane of the pituitary stalk. Though some reports have shown that meningiomas can arise from sites lacking a dural component, this is the first report of a meningioma originating from the pituitary stalk.
