圆孔外面的观察和测量及其面积的回归方程

60具成人颅骨颅底外面的圆孔观察和测量结果表明:圆孔多呈圆形,其次是卵圆形,其它形较少见.据圆孔与翼突外侧板根部延长线的位置关系,分圆孔位置为三型.圆孔外面观的各项测值左右间均无统计学差异,但其中管性圆孔管长度个体差异较大.圆孔的面积左右比较对称者占3.33±2.34%,左>右者占65.51±6.30%,右>左者占34.48±6.30%.圆孔面积左右对称性比较,对临床诊断疾病有参考意义.其面积的回归方程可由其长、宽径乘积推算 .     

Radiographic studies of the ventricles in syringomyelia

Summary Radiographic investigations of 171 patients with communicating syringomyelia have been reviewed. Hydrocephalus was found in onethird of the cases and has occasionally progressed after operation on the posterior fossa, sometimes with accompanying clinical deterioration. The outlets of the fourth ventricle were usually abnormal; tonsillar descent, arachnoiditis and both together were seen. Arachnoiditis correlated strongly with a history of difficult birth. The foramen of Magendie was sometimes patent and sometimes blocked. There was no consistent level of occlusion corresponding to a persistent roof of the fourth ventricle. The cisterna magna was usually small or obliterated but some examples of large cisterns or subarachnoid pouches were found. Radiological demonstration of a communication from the fourth ventricle to the syrinx occurred in only seven patients by positive contrast material and not by air. It is suggested that a sizable communication is rare at the time when patients seek treatment.

Sudden Foot Drop Caused by Foraminal Gas Pseudocyst

A foraminal gas pseudocyst is a rare cause of lumbar radiculopathy. The association with a sudden foot drop has not been previously reported. Here, a 67-year-old woman with sudden foot drop on the left side is reported. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging identified a foraminal gas containing lesion compressing the left L5 root at the L5-S1 foramen. The foraminal gas containing lesion compressing the L5 ganglion was successfully removed by the posterior approach. The histological diagnosis was a gas pseudocyst. This unique case of surgically proven gas pseudocyst indicates that it should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with sudden foot drop.     

Transthoracic Repair of Asymptomatic Morgagni Hernia in an Adult

Morgagni hernia represents a rare type of diaphragmatic hernia which usually occurs on the right side, in the anterior mediastinum. Predisposing factors of Morgagni hernia include pregnancy, obesity or other causes of increased intraabdominal pressure, and a history of trauma. Most of adults diagnosed with a foramen of Morgagni are asymptomatic. We report a case of an overweight 23-year-old asymptomatic patient with a Morgagni hernia incidentally diagnosed on chest x-ray. There was a satisfactory result after the repair by a transthoracic approach.     

Morphometric evaluation of the foramen magnum for sex determination: A study from Saudi Arabia

The present study provides a database of various morphometric dimensions of the foramen magnum region in the Saudi population. The objective of this study was to evaluate various measurements of the foramen magnum region for sex determination in the Saudi population by using computed tomography (CT) images. The various radiological measurements of the foramen magnum region were measured in a total of 200 adult subjects of Saudi origin including 100 males and 100 females. Sexual dimorphism was observed in five parameters related to the foramen magnum, namely length of the right occipital condyle (LROC), length of the left occipital condyle (LLOC), width of the foramen magnum (WFM), area of the foramen magnum (AFM) and length of the foramen magnum (LFM). The accuracy to discriminate sex ranged from 65.5% to 62.5% when LROC, LLOC, WFM, AFM, and LFM were considered as individual parameters. When multiple parameters were combined to discriminate sex, the highest accuracy of 71% was achieved.     

Idiopathic bilateral occlusion of the foramen of Monro: An unusual entity with varied clinical presentations

We review our experience with four patients who presented to our Medical Center from 2005–2015 with adult idiopathic occlusion of the foramen of Monro (FM). All patients underwent CT scanning and MRI. Standard MRI was performed in each patient to rule out a secondary cause of obstruction (T1-weighted without- and with gadolinium, T2-weighted, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery [FLAIR] and diffusion-weighted imaging [DWI] protocols). When occlusion of the FM appeared to be idiopathic, further high-resolution MRI with multiplanar reconstructions for evaluation of stenosis or an occluding membrane at the level of the FM was performed (T1-weighted without- and with gadolinium, T2-weighted 3D turbo spin-echo). Occlusion of the FM was due to unilateral stenosis and septum pellucidum deviation in two patients, to an occluding membrane in one, and to bilateral stenosis in one patient. Urgent surgical intervention is mandatory when there are signs of increased intracranial pressure while asymptomatic patients may be managed conservatively. In this patient series, truly bilateral stenotic obstruction of the FM was best managed with ventriculoperitoneal shunt and patients with membranous obstruction or unilateral stenosis with septum deviation were treated endoscopically.     

Flottierender Riesenthrombus im offenen Foramen ovale Diagnose mittels transösophagealer Echokardiographie

Zusammenfassung Die Diagnose eines flottierenden Thrombus in einem offenen Foramen ovale wird selten gestellt. Wir berichten über einen Patienten, bei dem aufgrund des dringenden Verdachtes auf eine Pulmonalembolie eine trans?sophageale Echokardiographie (TEE) durchgeführt wurde. Mit Hilfe der TEE konnte der Verdacht der Pulmonalembolie erh?rtet werden. Als überraschungsbefund fand sich jedoch im rechten und linken Vorhof ein langer, wurmf?rmiger, sehr mobiler Thrombus, der im offenen Foramen ovale eingekeilt war. Der Patient wurde aufgrund dieser Diagnose unverzüglich einem chirurgischem Eingriff unterzogen, wobei sich der TEE-Befund best?tigte und ein 19 cm langer Thrombus entfernt wurde. Mit Hilfe der TEE konnte der Riesenthrombus erkannt und einer entsprechenden Therapie zugeführt werden, wodurch Komplikationen, wie das Auftreten einer neuerlichen Pulmonalembolie oder einer paradoxen Embolie, verhindert werden konnten.

超声心动图在卵圆孔通道血流受限合并心功能异常产前诊断中的应用价值

目的探讨超声心动图在单纯卵圆孔通道血流受限（FOCR）合并心功能异常胎儿产前诊断及预后评估中的应用价值。 方法回顾性选取2018年10月至2020年5月在河北生殖妇产医院检查,产前超声心动图诊断为单纯FOCR且心血管整体评分（CVPS）提示心功能异常的胎儿16例,分析其初诊、分娩前及出生后的超声心动图特征、CVPS及心功能变化,并随访其妊娠结局和预后。 结果14例表现为卵圆孔内径或卵圆孔通道有效分流口内径＜3 mm,2例表现为卵圆孔内径/房间隔总长度＜0.33。16例胎儿分娩前均表现为右心房与左心房横径比（RA/LA）、右心室与左心室横径比（RV/LV）、主肺动脉与升主动脉内径比（MPA/AAO）比值增大,且随孕龄增大而增大,卵圆孔通道分流流速（V-FO）＞40 cm/s。16例胎儿中,14例初诊FOCR时CVPS为8~9分,2例初诊未发现心功能异常,CVPS为10分。16例胎儿分娩前,11例表现为轻度心力衰竭,CVPS为8~9分;5例表现为中度心力衰竭,CVPS为6~7分。9例分娩前CVPS较初诊FOCR时减低。16例胎儿出生后,1例于新生儿期死亡;余15例均存活。存活患儿中13例复查超声心动图,心脏结构正常;1例分娩前CVPS为6分,出生后复查可疑心肌病;1例分娩前CVPS为8分,出生后复查不除外原发性肺动脉高压。 结论超声心动图在FOCR诊断及评估中具有重要价值;应用超声心动图进行CVPS评分可动态观测并评估胎儿心功能变化,对评估胎儿宫内情况及指导分娩时机具有重要意义。
