IntroductionPyogenic spondylodiscitis is a rare, destructive intervertebral disc infection.Case summaryWe describe a case of C2-C3 pyogenic spondylodiscitis after transoral surgery of the posterior pharyngeal wall in a 64-year-old man with a history of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) treated by neck irradiation (45 Gy). Ten years after initial treatment, he underwent total laryngectomy for laryngeal SCC, together with transoral resection of carcinoma in situ (CIS) of the posterior pharyngeal wall followed by BioDesign® tissue repair graft. Five months later, C2-C3 spondylodiscitis was diagnosed with the formation of a fistula between the posterior pharyngeal wall and the intervertebral disc. Antibiotic therapy was administered for a total duration of 3 months (multi-susceptible Escherichia coli). Eight months after the diagnosis of spondylodiscitis, the patient died from carotid artery rupture following another course of radiotherapy for lymph node recurrence.DiscussionLarger-scale studies are necessary to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors of radiation-induced spondylodiscitis that currently remain poorly elucidated. The best treatment strategy (choice and duration of antibiotic therapy) and the optimal frequency of follow-up must be determined and the value of preventive measures (biomaterial, flap repair) needs to be evaluated.  相似文献

BackgroundIatrogenic cervical spondylodiscitis is rare, but may occur after various medical interventions.MethodsWe report a case of a diabetic 70-years-old female with C5–C6 spondylodiscitis and symptomatic epidural abscess with neck pain and upper limb paresis after endoscopic botulinum toxin injection for the treatment of dysphagia. Treatment included antibiotic therapy with amoxicillin and later on benzylpenicillin for the next ten weeks and corporectomy with spondylodesis.ResultThe patient made an excellent recovery, with complete resolution of paresis and only minor residual hypoesthesia at one year after operation.ConclusionCervical spondylodiscitis should be considered early, in patients with neck pain after endoscopic cricopharyngeal injection, as timely diagnosis and treatment can prevent serious and irreversible neurological deficit.  相似文献

We report the case of a patient with pyogenic spondylodiscitis after transoral surgery for oropharyngeal cancer. The patient was a 66-year-old man with a history of hepatic cell carcinoma, alcoholic cirrhosis, and chronic pancreatitis. The tumor was resected via a transoral approach with concurrent bilateral elective neck dissections. Although the initial postoperative course was uneventful, the patient experienced severe cervical pain because of which he revisited the hospital. The patient was diagnosed with pyogenic spondylodiscitis, according to the results of magnetic resonance imaging. Continuous treatment with parenteral antibiotics and a cervical brace was required for 2 months before all his symptoms and signs diminished. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of pyogenic spondylodiscitis as a complication of transoral resection for head and neck cancer.  相似文献

IntroductionPosterior pharyngeal wall is the most rare subsite for hypopharyngeal carcinomas. Because of its rarity, there are few studies published in the literature specifically concerning posterior pharyngeal wall carcinoma.ObjectivesTo report our functional results in patients with the carcinoma of the posterior wall of the hypopharynx after surgical treatment by resection via a lateral or infrahyoid pharyngotomy approach, with the preservation of the larynx and reconstruction with a radial forearm free flap.MethodsThe study included 10 patients who underwent surgery for a carcinoma of the posterior wall of the hypopharynx over a 6 year period. The associated postoperative morbidity was investigated and functional results were analyzed.ResultsNine patients had T3 lesions and one patient had a T2 lesion. The preferred approach to access the hypopharynx was a lateral pharyngotomy in 5 patients and lateral pharyngotomy combined with infrahyoid pharyngotomy in 5 patients with superior extension to oropharynx. The pharyngeal defects were reconstructed successfully with radial forearm free flaps. Four patients received adjuvant radiotherapy only, and 4 patients with N2b and N2c neck diseases received adjuvant chemoradiotherapy. The mean duration of hospitalization was 15.6 days (range, 10–21 days). All patients achieved oral intake in a median time of 74 days (range, 15–180). Decannulation was achieved in all patients and the median time for decannulation was 90 (range, 21–300 days). The mean followup duration was 38.3 months (range, 10–71 months) and 8 patients survived. One patient died due to regional recurrence in the retropharyngeal lymph nodes and 1 patient died due to systemic metastasis.ConclusionPrimary surgery is still a very effective treatment modality for the carcinoma of the posterior wall of the hypopharynx and does not permanently compromise the swallowing and laryngeal functions if pharyngeal reconstruction is performed with a free flap.  相似文献

ObjectivesSurgical navigation systems (SNS) are now widely used in endoscopic endonasal surgery. Benefit, however, has not been fully studied. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of an SNS in terms of performance of the surgical procedure and of surgeon satisfaction, in a prospective multicenter study.Materials and methodsA multicenter prospective study included patients undergoing endoscopic endonasal surgery using the electromagnetic DigiPointeur® (DGP) SNS in 16 French hospitals. An observation form, completed by the surgeon immediately at end of procedure, included type of procedure, and any changes in strategy or extent of surgery related to use of the SNS. Surgeon satisfaction was rated on an analog scale, with self-assessment of stress experienced during the procedure.ResultsThe study included 311 patients operated on by 36 surgeons in 16 French hospitals. Ethmoidectomy was the most frequent procedure (90%); tumor resection was performed in 5.1% of cases. The SNS enabled more extensive surgery in 81% of cases, in particular by identifying and opening additional cells (57% of cases). Mean satisfaction was 8.6/10; surgeons reported decreased surgical stress thanks to the SNS in 95% of cases.ConclusionIn this observational study, the use of an SNS increased the extent of surgery in 81% of cases, and had a positive impact on the stress perceived by the surgeon in 95% of cases.  相似文献

Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is becoming widely used in Japan, and information on postoperative hemorrhage is needed. We treated a patient who developed a second massive postoperative hemorrhage on Day 35 post-TORS. The 69-year-old man was diagnosed with p16-positive, T1N1M0 stage I cancer of the anterior wall of the oropharynx. Curative treatment began with right neck dissection. The external carotid artery and its branches were not ligated. One month after right neck dissection, TORS was conducted. On Day 23 post-TORS, the patient was brought to the emergency room due to pharyngeal bleeding. Hemorrhage was stopped by reclosing the site with Z-shaped silk sutures. Severe hemorrhage recurred on Day 35 post-TORS. The patient went into hemorrhagic shock. Tracheostomy was immediately performed. The neck dissection wound was then opened and the external carotid artery clamped. Hemostasis was confirmed transorally, but the hemorrhage site was again sutured with Z-shaped silk sutures to stop the bleeding. The patient was discharged on Day 58 post-TORS. Even in hindsight, this hemorrhage would have been difficult to prevent with better local treatment. This means that using transcervical arterial ligation together with TORS is appropriate from the perspective of making every effort to prevent potentially fatal postoperative hemorrhage.  相似文献

Delayed pharyngoesophageal perforation is a rare complication following anterior cervical spine surgery. Patients usually present weeks to years after surgery with vague symptoms, such as dysphagia and neck pain. We report five cases of delayed pharyngoesophageal perforation following anterior cervical spine surgery with hardware fixation. Successful surgical management of these patients required removal of hardware and closure of the defect supported with a vascularized flap. Laryngoscope, 2010  相似文献

IntroductionRetropharyngeal abscess is a serious condition. Its rare occurrence, thus sharing symptoms with other processes, make it a diagnostic challenge for the clinician. Therefore, it is critical to make an early diagnosis to prevent delaying treatment and avoid complications.ObjectivesTo gain knowledge of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, the most commonly implicated microorganisms, the type of treatment used, morbidity and mortality of retropharyngeal abscesses at a tertiary institution over the last 25 years.MethodsA retrospective study was conducted by reviewing medical records of all patients diagnosed with retropharyngeal abscess in a single centre between 1 January 1990 and 31 February 2016. Thirty-three patients were included in our study. Data such as personal history, present illness, diagnoses and treatment procedures were collected from the medical records.ResultsThe incidence during the years of study was 0.2 cases/100 000 inhabitants/year. Personal medical histories most often associated were alcoholism, smoking, diabetes and obesity. The most common aetiology found was impaction of a foreign body (especially fishbone). The most common presenting symptoms were odynophagia and neck pain accompanied by fever. Preventive tracheotomy was performed in the initial management of the patient in 9 cases (27%). The most frequent complication was descending necrotizing mediastinitis. Surgical drainage of the abscess was required in 27 patients (82%), especially with external approaches (17 cases). Two patients had sequelae: paralysis of unilateral vocal cord and Horner's syndrome. No mortality was observed in the patients of the study.ConclusionRetropharyngeal abscesses must be considered medical-surgical emergencies as they are likely to produce serious complications. We must pay attention to the warning symptoms such as odynophagia and cervical pain, associated or otherwise with dyspnoea, stridor, trismus, and neck stiffness. Advances in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures together with advances in critical care have been a key factor in improving the prognosis and mortality of these patients.  相似文献

ObjectiveThe study aims to evaluate posterior pharyngeal wall augmentation using autologous tragal cartilage graft in adults with velopharyngeal valve insufficiency (VPI).MethodsThe study included 23 patients with VPI (grade I, II, III), with ages ranging from 19 to 45 years. Six patients had previously undergone simple palatoplasty for cleft palate, 8 patients had previously undergone adenotonsillectomy and 9 patients had previously undergone uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP). The procedure was done by implanting a piece of autologous tragal cartilage in the posterior pharyngeal wall. Patients were followed up for 24 months postoperatively. The evaluation of percent of speech intelligibility and grade of the closure of the velopharyngeal valve using video-nasopharyngoscopy was evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively.ResultsHighly statistically significant improvement in the grade of the closure of the velopharyngeal valve (P = 0.009) and percent of intelligibility (P = 0.001) was found after surgery. There were no postoperative airway obstruction or sleep apnea.ConclusionAugmentation of the posterior pharyngeal wall using tragal cartilage is an effective, safe and physiological surgical procedure in the management of VPI in adults who suffered hypernasality following palatal and oropharyngeal surgeries.  相似文献

Background: Lymphatic malformations (LMs) are caused due to abnormal lymphatic development, and mainly occur in neonates or young children. At present, the role of surgery in the treatment of head and neck LMs is still controversial, focusing mainly on surgical efficacy and indications.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the effect and influential factors of surgical treatment in children with head and neck LMs, hoping to provide a basis for rational selection of surgical indications.

Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 128 children with head and neck LMs and underwent surgical treatment in Beijing Children’s Hospital from May 2007 to June 2016. They were classified into three morphological groups: macrocystic, microcystic, and mixed. Based on de Serres staging, they were divided into five groups: stage I to V. The local lesion control rate, complication rate, and recurrence rate were summarized and analyzed.

Results: The rate of completely controlled and almost completely controlled in cases with head and neck LMs was 71.1%. The postoperative complication rate was 13.3%, and the postoperative recurrence rate was 11.9%. Statistically significant difference was found for local lesion control and postoperative recurrence rates between different morphological and clinical staging groups. Furthermore, the complication rate showed a significant difference between different morphological groups, but not between clinical staging groups.

Conclusions: Surgical resection in children with macrocystic, low-stage, or neck-limited LMs demonstrated better therapeutic effect, with fewer complications. However, the effect remained poor and had more complications for microcystic, diffused and high-stage patients. High stage and incomplete resection are considered as the main factors for postoperative recurrence. Current staging system for LMs has important predictive value in the prognosis of head and neck LMs. For LMs in posterior pharyngeal space, plasma ablation has certain advantages.  相似文献

IntroductionDysphagia is a common presenting complaint and can often be due to pharyngoesophageal diverticulum, including Zenker's diverticulum. Iatrogenic pharyngeal diverticulum, occurring after anterior cervical spine surgery, is a rare cause of dysphagia.Case reportWe report the case of a 51-year-old man, with a history of anterior cervical fusion about ten years previously, who complained of chronic dysphagia and disabling episodes of aspiration. Anterolateral pharyngeal diverticulum in contact with the cervical screw plates was diagnosed on barium swallow and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.DiscussionPharyngeal diverticulum differs from Zenker's diverticulum in terms of its position and its origin. It may occur early or late after anterior cervical spine surgery. Treatment consists of endoscopic or open surgery via a neck incision. In our case, appropriate treatment allowed complete resolution of the patient's symptoms with no complications following rigorous postoperative surveillance.  相似文献

We report the case of a 86 years old male who, in the course of a coughing attack, refers spontaneous cervical and pharyngeal pain in addition to hoarness, dysphagia and some dyspnea. His exploration revealed a small right neck hematoma but with infiltration of the orohypopharynx and right hemilarynx for spreading later to posterior pharyngeal wall and left aryepiglottic fold. The patient was sent to ICU although he did not required a control of airway by intubation or tracheotomy finally.  相似文献

IntroductionThe authors present the guidelines of the French Society of Otorhinolaryngology (SFORL) for clinical and radiological assessment of cystic neck lymphadenopathy of unknown primary in adults. Most cases concern head and neck carcinoma metastasis, often in the oropharyngeal area, or less frequently differentiated thyroid carcinoma or non-keratinizing nasopharyngeal carcinoma.MethodsA multidisciplinary task force was commissioned to carry out a review of the literature on the etiological work-up in cystic neck lymphadenopathy in adults: clinical examination, conventional imaging (ultrasound, CT, MRI) and metabolic imaging. Guidelines were drafted based on the articles retrieved, and graded A, B, C or expert opinion according to decreasing level of evidence.ResultsOriented clinical examination, cervical and thyroid ultrasound scan and contrast-enhanced neck and chest CT scan are recommended in the assessment of cystic neck lymphadenopathy of unknown primary in adult patients. PET-CT is recommended prior to panendoscopy, to identify the primary tumor.ConclusionClinical and radiological assessment is fundamental for etiologic diagnosis of cystic neck lymphadenopathy in adult patients, and should be completed by cytological examination before in initiating treatment.  相似文献

Background: Salvage surgery for laryngeal cancer recurring after radiotherapy is difficult and complications readily occur. Our institution has adopted the pharyngeal interposition graft (PIG) using a pectoralis major myocutaneous (PMMC) flap, which has copious blood flow, for preventing post-irradiation pharyngocutaneous fistula.

Aims/objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the incidence of post-operative complications of salvage total laryngectomy (STL) using the PMMC flap for post-radiotherapy recurrent laryngeal cancer at our institution.

Material and methods: From among 162 patients with laryngeal cancer who had been treated at Tokyo Medical University Hospital between January 2014 and March 2018, we enrolled 11 patients who had undergone STL applying a PMMC flap. We examined patient backgrounds (age, gender, subtype, stage), initial therapy (radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy), radiation dose, irradiation area, surgery type (with/without neck dissection) and postoperative complications.

Results: No severe systemic complications were encountered. Pharyngocutaneous fistula occurred as a severe local complication in one patient (8.3%) and wound infection as a mild local complication in one patient (8.3%).

Conclusions: Rates of post-operative complications following STL tended to be lower at our institution than those reported for other institutions.

Significance: PIG may be a useful surgical procedure in STL.  相似文献

Pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF) is the most common complication after total laryngectomy.ObjectivesTo establish the incidence of this complication and to analyze the predisposing factors.MethodThis is a cross-sectional study of a historical cohort including 94 patients who underwent total laryngectomy. The following aspects were correlated to the occurrence of PCF: gender, age, tumor site, TNM staging, type of neck dissection, previous radiation therapy, previous tracheotomy, and use of stapler for pharyngeal closure. The following were considered in PCF cases: the day into postoperative care when the fistula was diagnosed, duration of occurrence, and proposed treatment.ResultsTwenty (21.3%) patients had PCF. The incidence of PCF was statistically higher in T4 tumors when compared to T2 and T3 neoplasms (p = 0.03). The other analyzed correlations were not statistically significant. However, 40.9% of the patients submitted to tracheostomy previously had fistulae, against 21.1% of the patients not submitted to this procedure.ConclusionAdvanced primary tumor staging is correlated with higher incidences of PCF.  相似文献

ObjectivesPeripheral neck nerve tumors are rare and mostly benign neoplasms. The exceptional malignant forms are very aggressive, and diagnosis is difficult. The objective of this study was to evaluate diagnostic and therapeutic management and identify possible predictive factors.Material and methodsA retrospective study was conducted of 73 patients treated for peripheral neck nerve tumor between 1995 and 2015.ResultsMean age was 44 years. The main presenting symptom was a cervical mass, isolated or associated with signs related to the affected nerve structure. Diagnosis was suspected by slow progression of a firm mass, featuring T1 hyposignal and T2 hypersignal on magnetic resonance imaging. Surgery was performed in 99% of cases, completed by adjuvant chemotherapy in case of malignant neuroblastic tumor. Type 1 neurofibromatosis and sudden increase in mass with or without associated pain suggested malignant transformation. Age below 10 years suggested neuroblastic tumor.ConclusionNeck nerve tumors are very often benign with low degenerative potential. Surgery is the treatment of choice after risk/benefit analysis. However, there is no clearly defined consensus regarding the timing of surgery for these lesions.  相似文献
