A rare case of a periorbital respiratory (choristomatous) cyst

Respiratory cysts are benign lesions lined by normal respiratory epithelium. There are few reported cases localized to the orbit, while those of the eyelid are exceedingly rare. Respiratory cysts usually arise either from a non‐hereditary congenital malformation, where they are distinguished as choristomatous, or from trauma. Here, we report a case of a 53‐year‐old man who presented with a large right lower eyelid cyst that was histopathologically diagnosed as a respiratory cyst.     

Symptomatic perineural cyst after spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage: A case report

Rationale:Tarlov or perineurial cysts are nerve root lesions often found in the sacral region. Most perineural cysts (PCs) remain asymptomatic throughout a patient''s life. While their pathogenesis is still unclear, trauma resulting in hemorrhaging into subarachnoid space has been put forward as a possible cause of these cysts. Recently, we worked with a patient experiencing symptomatic PCs after spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage.Patient concerns:A 45-year-old man had a coil embolization procedure performed after being diagnosed with a subarachnoid hemorrhage from a ruptured anterior communicating artery. His symptoms were relieved after the procedure, but 7 days later he reported worsening pain in the left perineal area. The pain was intermittent at its onset and exacerbated by sitting, walking, and coughing.Diagnoses:Two weeks after the embolization procedure, a lumbar spine MRI revealed 2 PCs at the S1 and S2 level affecting the left S2 root with high signal intensity in T2 and T1 images, suggestive of bleeding within the cyst.Interventions:We operated using a posterior approach. Cyst fenestration was done after S1 laminectomy. We aspirated approximately 1 cc of old blood.Outcomes:His pain was relieved immediately after cyst removal and no neurologic deterioration occurred during the postoperative period.Lessons:Subarachnoid hemorrhage can be the source of the development of pain from asymptomatic PCs, making them symptomatic. Surgical extirpation is 1 treatment option for these symptomatic PCs.     

Transitional care for patients with surgical pediatric hepatobiliary disease: Choledochal cysts and biliary atresia

Choledochal cysts (CDCs) and biliary atresia (BA) are rare pediatric hepatobiliary anomalies that require surgical intervention due to increased risk of malignancy and liver failure, respectively. The underlying disease and operative procedures place patients at risk for long‐term complications, which may continue to affect them into adulthood. Lack of a transitional care model in the health‐care system potentiates the challenges they will face following aging out of their pediatric providers' care. We sought to elucidate the long‐term complications and challenges patients with CDCs and BA face, review the current literature regarding transitioning care, and propose guidelines aiding adult providers in continued care and surveillance of these patients. A literature review was performed to assess short‐term and long‐term complications after surgery and the current standards for transitioning care in patients with a history of CDCs and BA. While transitional programs exist for patients with other gastrointestinal diseases, there are few that focus on CDCs or BA. Generally, authors encourage medical record transmission from pediatric to adult providers, ensuring accuracy of information and compliance with treatment plans. Patients with CDCs are at risk for developing biliary malignancies, cholangitis, and anastomotic strictures after resection. Patients with BA develop progressive liver failure, necessitating transplantation. There are no consensus guidelines regarding timing of follow up for these patients. Based on the best available evidence, we propose a schema for long‐term surveillance.     

脾保留手术治疗创伤性脾破裂的临床探讨

目的：分析脾保留手术治疗创伤性脾破裂的疗效。方法选取该院2011年6月—2014年6月收治的创伤性脾破裂患者，共计56例，分为两组，各28例，对照组进行脾切除手术，研究组进行脾保留手术。结果研究组临床有效率为92.86%，对照组临床有效率为78.57%；术后并发症发生率研究组为10.71%、对照组为28.57%。结论脾保留手术治疗创伤性脾破裂的疗效显著，恢复快，并发症少，在患者伤情允许情况下优先选择脾保留术。     

The problems and advantages of one lung ventilation during surgical intervention in pulmonary hydatid cyst disease

Background Hydatid disease is the most severe helminthic zoonosis, with an important public health problem especially in rural areas in Turkey. The aim of this study was to review the problems and advantages encountered in surgical treatment of 43 patients who were ventilated with one-lung ventilation during last four years. Methods Patients, operated with one-lung ventilation, constitute the study group. Data related to symptoms, radiographic findings, performed surgical procedures, perioperative and postoperative morbidity, hospitalization time, and cyst recurrence were collected from each individual's records. Results Cystotomy and capitonnage were performed in all cases. Perioperative complications were seen in 5 patients. Four of these 5 patients had double-lumen endotracheal tube malpositioning. In one patient hypoxemia developed. The most common postoperative complication was atelectasis. One patient had recurrent cysts. There was no perioperative or postoperative death. Conclusions We prefer cystotomy and capitonnage because it is a fast and effective technique with limited postoperative complications. One-lung ventilation prevents the exposure of lower lung areas from massive aspiration, which may cause acute obstruction of airways, and contamination by cyst contents from the operative part of the lung that causes recurrent disease. One-lung ventilation in pulmonary hydatid cyst surgery may be preferred owing to lower mortality and morbidity rates.     

460例胃癌纤维胃镜活检标本的病理观察

本文分析了460例胃癌胃粘膜活检资料,结果:男:女为2.36:1:51～60岁年龄组发病率最岛(37.17％);发生部位以胃窦部最多见,占46.74％;组织学分类以低分化腺癌最多,占51 52％;在伴随病变中,畅化生的检出率为21.74％,胃腺囊为35％,胃粘膜上皮异型增生为32.61％。本组材料提示,不完全性大肠型肠化生、异型胃腺囊及胃粘膜中度以上异型增生与胃癌有密切关系。     

小肠浆肌膜腔内自体脾组织移植动物模型的建立与意义

目的探讨增加自体脾组织移植量的方法,提高自体移植脾组织的功能。方法贵州小型香猪3头,经肌注麻醉后剖腹切除脾脏,取脾脏的1/2约150g,切成1mm×1mm×1mm小块备用。在距Treitz韧带50cm处,切取保留肠系膜血管的空肠30cm旷置,再吻合肠管恢复肠腔通道,缝闭肠系膜裂口。旷置空肠等分2段,去除肠粘膜,缝闭一端,将约50g脾组织块分别植于2段肠浆肌膜腔内,缝闭另一端口,妥善固定于肠系膜上。大网膜内移植30g脾组织作为对照观察。结果4个月饲养期间内无肠梗阻发。3段肠浆肌膜腔内脾组织再生良好,组织结构与大网膜内移植脾组织无明显差别,2段再生较差,1段形成脓肿。结论肠浆肌膜腔内移植脾组织的量较大,可作为自体脾组织的移植术式。
