Pediatric intracranial aneurysms——clinical characteristics and therapeutic strategies

Objective To assess the radiological characteristics and therapeutic strategies of intracranial aneurysms in children. Methods From our dedicated neurovascular databank of patients, we reviewed 23 consecutive children who had 24 intracranial aneurysms. There were 14 boys and 9 girls with a mean age of 9.09 years ( range 1 - 14 years ). Results Intracranial aneurysms in children ≤ 14 years constituted 1.3% of all intracranial aneurysms. Internal Carotid artery (ICA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) were the most frequent sites for aneurysms. About 58.3% of the aneurysms were complex, including dissecting, pseudoaneurysm, giant and fusiform aneurysm. 1/3 of all aneurysms were located in posterior circulation. Only 1 case had multiple aneurysms in this case series. Almost half of all cases presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage and others presented with mass effect. 14 cases underwent endovascular treatment. 4 patients received microsurgical therapy. 5 cases did not receive microsurgical or endovascular therapy, 2 of them whose aneurysms spontaneously thrombosed during follow up. One boy with left vertebral artery giant aneurysm died after endovascular therapy owing to gradual thrombosis in basilar artery. Another child had poor outcome because of rerupture of aneurysm before operation. Whereas the majority had a favorable outcome. Conclusions Intracranial aneurysms in children had many clinical and radiological characteristics different from those in adults : ( 1 ) remarkable male predominance; ( 2 ) ICA and MCA were the most common sites for aneurysms; (3) high incidence of large, traumatic, infectious, dissecting and fusiform aneurysms. (4)For pediatric intracranial aneurysms, both microsurgical approaches and endovascular treatment were effective. Endovaacular therapy was the best choice for complex aneurysms.     

只爱倒霉人

有一类女人,或因母性膨胀、或因自身曾经失败而变得内心虚弱,急需通过同情弱者来平衡心态,找到自我强大感,因此往往在遇到比自己更"倒霉"的异性时,会表现出不顾一切代价和后果的奉献和同情。而事后的极端失落又令自己的心态扭曲……

脸色腰段椎间盘突出症21例临床分析

胸腰段椎间盘突出症罕见,约占椎间盘突出的0.6％～4％。随着CT及MRI的应用,其发病率有增加的趋势。因其发病率低,报道较少。但由于病变位于脊髓圆椎段,其发病较下腰段椎间盘突出有很大的特殊性,故有必要结合我院近年收治的21例对其作一回顾性分析。1 临床资料     

他为何深陷艾滋病的恐惧

个性良好的人约等于一个身体素质完善的健康人,即使天气不好或某种疾病流行,良好的抵抗力也会使他们安然无恙。即使有时身体状况不佳,偶感风寒闹个小病小灾,他们也当成免疫力的一次“练兵”,和谐的心态反而使身心保持在天然的良性状态中。     

这些“吃的”会骗你

凉面 吃起来相当清爽的凉面,常常被当作低热量食物,严格来说,凉面的热量并不低,尤其最关键的酱料和面本身,更是左右了凉面的热量。以面条来说,使用全麦面会比油面热量低一些,但面条本身仍是属于淀粉类,     

葡萄酒是健康的好帮手

啤酒虽有“液体面包”之美称，但中年人久饮易产生“啤酒肚”。而葡萄酒堪称饮料中的佳品，对中老年人而言，每天饮一杯葡萄酒，可以预防多种疾病，并能延缓衰老。1、预防心血管病英国医学家报告，欧美国家50~65岁的男性死亡率，以法国、瑞士、意大利等葡萄酒消费高的国家心脏病死亡率最低。深入研究其原因发现，人体血液中的低密度脂蛋白是引起动脉硬化的重要物质，葡萄酒不仅能使这种物质减少，而且能使血液中高密度脂蛋白浓度增加，还能使血管中的血凝块化解。因此，葡萄酒可以预防或减轻动脉硬化，防止血栓形成、减少发生心肌梗塞的危险…     

对儿女勇敢地说“不”

这是一个老年朋友们似曾相识的故事——几十年来，我像千千万万的“传统妇女”那样“兢兢业业”一辈子——在家，对孩子牵肠挂肚，对丈夫唯唯诺诺；在外，对同事、上司谨小慎微，总是小心翼翼地把自己装进“套子”里，找不到了自己。人们都说我是典型的“贤妻良母”，一生都有好福气。可是在人们的称赞声中，只有我自己知道，其实我活得很累。     

节育器遗留宫腔3例分析

对节育器遗留宫腔3例分析如下。 1病历摘要 例1：56岁。放置金属单圈节育环21a，绝经6a，于2006～07曾接受取器术，发现断裂未能取出，当日下午到我站要求再次取器，B超提示宫腔内节育环存留，术中探查宫腔7cm，触及有金属摩擦感，用取环钩未能取出节育环，无人取环钩的感觉，考虑节育环原已断裂，随之用取器钳钳夹断端拉出宫口外缓慢牵拉又出现断裂，续钳出一节：分别取出三节金属节育环的断端，
