Fibrovascular polyp of the esophagus requiring esophagectomy

Fibrovascular polyps of the esophagus are rare, with only 110 cases reported in the world literature to date. Dysphagia is the most common symptom. The diagnosis is usually made by barium swallow or upper endoscopy, but almost a third of cases can be missed with these studies. Treatment is surgical. Only four cases in the literature underwent esophagectomy for removal. We present a female patient with a fibrovascular polyp of the esophagus who required a transhiatal esophagectomy to safely remove this mass.

Fatal encephalitis in a patient with refractory celiac disease presenting with myorhythmia and carpal spasm.

We report the case of a woman with refractory celiac disease who developed abnormal spontaneous movements of the extremities and face consistent with myorhythmia. Investigation led to a diagnosis of encephalitis, confirmed by postmortem examination. The movements were likely caused by nonparaneoplastic encephalitis associated with refractory celiac disease. Etiologic and diagnostic considerations and treatment options are discussed.     

Asynchronous blepharospasm, facial and cervical dystonia, and bilateral asynchronous hemifacial spasm.

We present a patient with a facial movement disorder that has characteristics of both blepharospasm and bilateral asynchronous hemifacial spasm. Because of the increased incidence of blepharospasm in patients with hemifacial spasm, our patient's clinical presentation is probably not a chance occurrence, but rather a manifestation of some predisposition for these two movement disorders. This unusual constellation of signs and symptoms challenges the current diagnostic criteria and suggests that some of these facial movement disorders may lie on a spectrum, rather than represent distinct entities.

桡骨远端骨折不同治疗方法临床疗效比较

[目的]探讨不同分型桡骨远端骨折的有效治疗方法.[方法]分析236例桡骨远端骨折的治疗,根据AO分型为A、B、C 3型,分别采用闭合手法复位中医小夹板外固定及石膏外固定、切开复位＂T＂形钢板内固定3种固定方法,分别进行骨折的复位评分、功能评分,并比较不同固定方法之间复位评分及功能评分优良率.[结果]236例病人术后均获随访,随访时间6～20个月,平均14.6个月.3组当中A、B型骨折复位评分优良率无显著性差别,功能评分小夹板外固定组及＂T＂形钢板内固定组优良率明显优于石膏外固定组,功能评分小夹板外固定组和＂T＂形钢板内固定组比较优良率无显著性差别;C组当中无论是复位评分还是功能评分,＂T＂形钢板内固定组优良率明显优于其它2组.[结论]对于C型骨折,建议行骨折切开复位内固定;对于A、B型骨折,闭合手法复位小夹板外固定能取得较好的临床疗效.     

Microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm: postoperative neurologic follow-up and evaluation of life quality

Microvascular decompression (MVD) is an effective and safe treatment in hemifacial spasm (HFS). Postoperative evaluations are usually made by neurosurgeons. Follow-up studies performed by neurologists and postoperative quality of life (QoL) investigations are lacking. All 25 HFS patients operated with MVD in our centre between 2000 and 2004 were evaluated with the recently validated HFS-7 scheme, extended with the item 'sleep disturbance due to HFS' (HFS-8). The patients underwent a careful neurological examination median 3 years after the operation. The evaluation focused on clinical aspects, changes in blood pressure and time until observable effect of MVD. The evaluation of HFS-7 questionnaire and the extended form (HFS-8) showed significant improvement in QoL after MVD. Neurological outcome was in almost all cases excellent or good. Eleven (44%) patients had no neurological deficits at all. Only one patient had serious complications with ipsilateral facial palsy, deafness, balance problems and vertigo. The other patients had minor neurological findings or symptoms. Eighteen (72%) patients experienced early effect within 3 months after MVD; seven (28%) patients had late effect between 6 and 14 months. Median age of the patients with late effect (62.6 years) was significantly higher than in those with early effect (52.7 years).

食管癌贲门癌术后胸胃排空障碍的临床分析

目的探讨食管癌贲门癌术后胸胃排空障碍的诱因、诊断和治疗。方法回顾性分析1990年1月-2003年12月我院施行1369例食管癌贲门癌切除术的病人临床资料。结果本组病例发生胸胃排空障碍17例,发生率1.24%,其中机械性胸胃排空障碍5例,功能性胸胃排空障碍12例,均发生于术后3～12d,再次手术治疗5例;治愈16例,死亡1例。结论上消化道造影、胃镜是鉴别机械性胃排空障碍和功能性胃排空障碍的重要方法,对食管癌术后机械性胃排空障碍应采取手术治疗,而功能性胃排空障碍采取保守治疗多能好转。     

Post-operative esophageal leak treated with removable silicone-covered polyester stent

Self-expanding removable covered stents are increasingly being used for the treatment of benign esophageal diseases such as leaks or perforations and stenosis. They are easy to place and remove and good outcomes have been reported. We report a case of a postoperative esophageal leak successfully managed with a removable silicone-covered polyester stent.
