Arthroscopic Chondral Cyst Excision in a Stiff Perthes’ Hip

Persistent hip stiffness in Perthes’ disease indicates a poor prognosis and is a therapeutic challenge. We report a case of a 13-year-old boy with a stiff Perthes’ hip that was nonresponsive to prolonged nonsurgical treatment. Imaging revealed Catterall group IV Perthes’ disease in an advanced reossification stage, with a focal defect in the weight-bearing area of the capital femoral epiphysis. A focal, compressible chondral elevation was detected on hip arthroscopy; on incision, flocculent fluid was released. After the cyst was excised, microfracture revascularization of the chondral defect was undertaken. Postoperatively, the patient had immediate pain relief, correction of deformity, and restoration of painless range of motion; this has continued for 4 years since surgery was performed. Persistence of an unhealed necrotic segment in Perthes’ disease has traditionally been associated with osteochondritis dissecans; however, in this case, the unhealed and nonossified segment produced an elevated painful chondral cyst that caused spasm and stiffness of the hip. Although 2 distinct types of chondral lesions have been described in Perthes’ disease, stiffness arising because of these lesions has not been reported. Patients with this unusual third type of chondral lesion of the capital femoral epiphysis, which causes persistent stiffness in Perthes’ hip, may be identified and successfully treated with the use of arthroscopic techniques.     

心脏跳动下修补小儿室间隔缺损的临床研究

目的　探讨在浅低温体外循环心脏跳动下完成小儿室间隔缺损修补术的可行性。方法　 18例小儿室间隔缺损随机分为观察组和对照组 ,观察组在浅低温体外循环心跳下修补室间隔缺损 ,对照组为常规心脏停跳下修补室间缺损。测定心肌同功酶释放和三磷酸腺苷 ,观察左室压力 ,评价术野显露及气栓预防效果等。结果　观察组心肌同功酶释放明显低于对照组 ,三磷酸腺苷含量明显高于对照组 ,心肌超微结构基本正常 ,术中左室压力低于主动脉压力 ,术后无气栓发生。结论　浅低温体外循环心脏跳动下行小儿室间隔缺损修补术能更好地保护心肌。术野显露技术和防气栓的方法简便可行。     

Ameloblastoma ex calcifying odontogenic cyst (dentinogenic ghost cell tumor)

Calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) has shown to be of extensive diversity in its clinical and histopathological features, as well as in its biological behavior. In this report, a rare case is described of ameloblastoma ex COC (dentinogenic ghost cell tumor) and the relevant literature is briefly reviewed.     

腹腔镜与开放性肾囊肿去顶术的临床对照分析

目的评价腹腔镜与开放性肾囊肿去顶术的临床疗效。方法回顾性分析采用经后腹腔镜和经腹腔镜行肾囊肿去顶术21例，其中经腹腔5例，经后腹腔16例，与开放性手术16例比较。结果手术时间，术中平均出血量，术后下床活动时间，术后住院天数，术后并发症腹腔镜组均优于开放手术组，住院费用腹腔镜组略高于开放性手术组。结论腹腔镜肾囊肿去顶术治疗单纯性肾囊肿安全、有效。应成为治疗单纯性肾囊肿的首选方法。     

阴道B超介导下后穹窿穿刺治疗盆腔囊肿

目的　介绍阴道B超介导下后穹窿穿刺治疗盆腔囊肿的方法和疗效。方法　 38例盆腔囊肿病人在阴道B超介导下行后穹窿穿刺术 ,并与 2 8例住院行经腹囊肿切除术病人进行对比。结果　阴道B超介导下后穹窿穿刺术治愈率 10 0 % ,复发率 2 6 %。与经腹囊肿切除术相比 ,手术时间短 ,术中出血少 ,病人可接受程度高 ,花费少 ,差异显著 (P <0 0 1)。结论　阴道B超介导下后穹窿穿刺治疗盆腔囊肿 ,方法简便、安全高效、创伤小、价廉 ,是一项理想的保守疗法 ,值得推广应用。     

彩超引导介入治疗腘窝囊肿23例

目的探讨彩超引导下腘窝囊肿介入治疗的价值。方法在彩超引导下穿刺囊肿并抽尽囊液，生理盐水反复冲洗囊腔后注入无水乙醇，5min后抽出，反复2～3次。结果23例中22例穿刺一次治愈，1例穿刺2次治愈。23例随访6个月，无复发。结论彩超引导下介入治疗腘窝囊肿操作简便，创伤轻微，安全可靠，效果显著，可重复操作。     

Primary hydatid cyst of the breast: A case report

We describe herein the rare case of a hydatid cyst found in the breast of a 26-year-old woman. Clinically, the mass was at first suspected of being a fibroadenoma, but fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) yielded clear fluid only. Histopathologic examination of the resected speciman confirmed that it was a hydatid cyst.     

Mitral insufficiency with congenital double-orifice mitral valve in an elderly patient.

We describe the case of a 79-year-old woman with mitral insufficiency and a double-orifice mitral valve (DOMV), discovered by echocardiography. Transthoracic echocardiography showed two insufficiency jets. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed a DOMV. Each orifice was provided with a subvalvular apparatus. No associated congenital abnormalities were present. Our case demonstrates that even in elderly patients with a double regurgitant jet, DOMV should be suspected and assessed by transesophageal echocardiography.     

LONG-TERM EXPERIENCE WITH SCLEROTHERAPY FOR TREATMENT OF EPIDIDYMAL CYST AND HYDROCELE

Background: Symptomatic testicular hydrocele and cyst of the epididymis may be treated with either operation or sclerotherapy. Methods: The current report presents the experience of a 9 year prospective study using sodium tetradecyl sulphate (STD) sclerotherapy for the treatment of symptomatic hydrocele and/or epididymal cyst. Results: A total of 102 lesions were treated during the study period, with an initial success rate of 76% which improved to 94% with multiple treatments. The overall median follow up during the study was 30 months (range 2–100). Conclusions: Sclerotherapy offers a cost-effective outpatient method for the treatment of symptomatic scrotal cysts.
