Gamma Knife Radiosurgery of the Glomus Jugulare Tumour – Early Multicentre Experience

Leksell Gamma Knife was used to treat 66 patients with glomus jugulare tumour at 6 European sites between 1992-1998. The age of the patients ranged between 18-80 years (median 54 years). Gamma Knife radiosurgery was a primary treatment in 30 patients (45. 5%). Open surgery preceded radiosurgery in 24 patients (36.4%), embolisation in 14 patients (21.2%) and fractionated radiotherapy in 5 patients (7.6%). The volume of the tumour ranged 0.5-27 cm(3) (median 5,7 cm(3)). The minimal dose to the tumour margin ranged between 10-30 Gy (median 16.5 Gy). After radiosurgery 52 patients were followed, the follow up period was 3-70 months (median 24 months). Neurological deficit improved in 15 patients (29%) and deteriorated in 3 patients (5,8%), one transient and two persistant. Neuroradiological follow up using MRI or CT was performed in 47 patients 4-70 months (median 24 months) after radiosurgery. Tumour size decreased in 19 patients (40%) while in the remaining 28 patients (60%) no change in the tumour volume was observed. None of the tumours increased in volume during the observation period. Control angiography was performed in 6 patients. Pathological vascularisation completely disappeared in one patient, reduced in two and there was no change in the remaining three. Radiosurgery proves to be a safe treatment for glomus jugulare tumour with no mortality and no acute morbidity. Because of its naturally slow growth rate, up to 10 years of follow up will be necessary to establish a cure rate after radiosurgery for these lesions.     

The Value of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology in Breast Fibromatosis: Study of Two New Cases and Review of the Literature

▪ Abstract: We report two new cases of breast fibromatosis studied by needle aspiration cytology observed in a 32-year-old man and a 49-year-old woman. The lesions manifested as palpable, painless, and firm masses of the para-areolar breast soft tissues. Preoperative fine needle cytology revealed scant cellularity, featuring oval and spindle cells with bland nuclei and occasional larger polygonal cells with high nuclear:cytoplasmic ratio. Histologically, interwoven fascicles of spindle cells with bland nuclei, infiltrating the adjacent breast fat, were recognized. Based on available reports in the literature, we concluded that needle aspiration cytology, although not entirely specific, may be a source of important information in patients with breast fibromatosis. In particular, it confidently allows the exclusion of breast cancer and other more common diseases and is useful in planning a surgical approach to the lesion. ▪     

Pulmonary Failure After Norwood Procedure: Indication for Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation? A Case Report

Today some authors consider univentricular repair a contraindication for postoperative cardiac extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The question is whether or not ECMO is indicated as pulmonary support in case of an overwhelming pulmonary infection during the postoperative course after a Norwood procedure. During the prolonged weaning period after a Norwood procedure using a 4 mm aortopulmonary shunt, proven respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis occurred at the time of expected weaning from artificial ventilation. Venovenous ECMO was able to improve oxygenation, but when pulmonary opacification failed to resolve, ECMO was terminated after 12 days.     

伽玛刀的医学技术评估

伽玛刀是世界上最昂贵的医疗设备之一,我国从１９９２年开始引进。１９９５年卫生部等联合发文暂缓装备。为了规范提供方和患方的行为,以及为卫生行政部门提供决策依据,我们开展了伽玛刀的技术评估。在评估前拟定评估步骤,然后确定评估内容与方法。评估结果,国外１９９４年有５６台伽玛刀,平均每台治疗１９０例,治疗病种是：动静脉畸型病人占３２％,肿瘤病人占６５％,功能性疾病占２％。我国１３台伽玛刀到１９９５年底共治病人７０００例,前６位病种是转移瘤等,虽然比例和顺位与世界有差异,但病例分析结果完全一致。     

Use of ultrasound-guided percutaneous needle biopsy in the diagnosis of mediastinal tumors

We herein report the usefulness of ultrasoundguided percutaneous needle biopsy for histological diagnosis in 18 patients with mediastinal tumors. Computed tomography revealed these tumors to be in contact with the chest wall. The preoperative diagnosis was thymoma in 7 patients, germinoma in 5, neurogenic tumor in 3, and other in 3. The most commonly encountered indication for an ultrasound-guided percutaneous needle biopsy was an anterior mediastinal lesion (78%; 14 of 18 patients). In 16 (89%) of the 18 patients, the biopsy diagnosis corresponded to the post-operative diagnosis. No complications were encountered in any of the patients. This new technique of ultrasound-guided percutaneous needle biopsy is both relatively simple and highly accurate and may thus be useful for outpatients. Preoperative ultrasound-guided percutaneous needle biopsy is thus considered to be a safe and reliable method for the histological diagnosis of mediastinal tumors, and a good alternative to traditional biopsy techniques such as mediastinoscopy or thoracotomy.Presented at the 11th Biennial Asian Congress on Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, November, 21–25, 1993.     

Peritonsillar abscess – critical analysis of abscess tonsillectomy

The risk of secondary haemorrhage following abscess tonsillectomy is reported in the literature with differing rates. A retro‐ and prospective analysis of complication rates following abscess tonsillectomy was conducted in 142 patients (54 females, 88 males; mean age: 35 years). In 22% of patients, a secondary haemorrhage occurred. In half of these (11% of total), the haemorrhage had to be treated surgically. Secondary haemorrhage occurred most commonly on the 6th and 8th postoperative days. Reports in the literature are not in unison about the risk of secondary haemorrhage following abscess tonsillectomy and therefore allow no final judgement about an objective risk of this complication. This report strengthens the results of the ‘Comparative Audit Service’ analysis from 1997, which did show a high risk of secondary haemorrhage following tonsillectomy, as well as following abscess tonsillectomy.
