Anton’s syndrome due to a giant anterior fossa meningioma. The problem of routine use of advanced diagnostic imaging in psychiatric care

Summary We present a case of blindness and Anton’s syndrome in a psychiatric patient with late diagnosis of a giant frontal meningioma. The criteria for advanced diagnostic imaging in the psychiatric population are discussed. We conclude that MR or CT scan is indicated in psychiatric in-patients who fail to improve with standard psychiatric treatment. This strategy should be submitted to a cost-benefit analysis.     

腹腔镜治疗腹腔巨大囊肿及术后下身水肿处理(附5例报告)

目的探讨腹腔镜处理腹腔巨大囊肿及术后下身水肿的方法. 方法 5例腹腔巨大囊肿先行囊肿抽液(1 500～2 000 ml,平均1 800 ml)减压,2例巨大肝囊肿采用经皮穿刺抽液,3例下腹腔囊肿在脐缘小切口直视下抽液,使腹腔空间增大后行腹腔镜下囊肿切除(3例)或开窗引流(2例).对术后出现的下身水肿口服(2例)或静脉注射(3例)利尿剂. 结果 4例术后症状完全消失,1例多囊肝症状明显改善.随访3个月～1年,症状无复发.下身水肿均在5～7 d内基本消失. 结论先行囊肿抽液减压及术后应用小剂量利尿剂可使腹腔巨大囊肿能在腹腔镜下顺利处理并恢复.     

Giant intracranial aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery treated by direct surgery using A3–A3 side-to-side anastomosis and A3-RA graft-STA anastomosis

Summary We describe a giant aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery (ACoA) which was treated with a STA-RA graft-A3 bonnet bypass and A3–A3 side-to-side anastomosis. A giant and partially thrombosed ACoA aneurysm was partially coated 3 years before his current presentation, its gradual increase producing visual field disturbances. An A3–A3 side-to-side anastomosis and STA-RA graft-A3 bonnet bypass were performed. The aneurysm was dissected, and the thrombus removed under transient parent-artery occlusion. The aneurysmal neck was successfully clipped without encountering ischemic changes. This strategy may be useful for treating giant or thrombosed aneurysms in the region of the ACoA.     

Open surgery of giant paraclinoid aneurysms improved by intraoperative angiography and endovascular retrograde suction decompression

Summary In three consecutive cases of giant left sided paraclinoid aneurysms we employed an endovascular retrograde suction decompression technique in combination with intra-operative angiography. A double-lumen balloon catheter was placed in the left internal carotid artery by the transfemoral route. After balloon inflation and placement of a temporary clip distal to the aneurysm blood was aspirated and the aneurysm collapsed. Thus further dissection of the aneurysm could easily be achieved and clips could be placed. Afterwards real-time digital subtraction angiography was performed. Intra-operative angiography led to clip repositioning in all cases either due to a clip induced stenosis of the parent vessel, or because of incomplete aneurysm obliteration. Afterwards successful clipping could be confirmed in all cases. Outcome was excellent in one case, good in the other. The third case, extremely complicated by an accompanying craniopharyngioma, showed a satisfactory outcome, but presented new neurological deficits.     

骨巨细胞瘤术后复发的手术治疗

目的:探讨骨巨细胞瘤术后复发的手术方法及疗效。方法:1994年6月-2003年10月,收治四肢长骨复发性骨巨细胞瘤18例,男12例,女6例;年龄18~44岁,平均26岁。股骨下端5例,胫骨上端8例,股骨上端1例,桡骨远端4例。Enneking分期:Ⅰa期14例,Ⅰb期4例。放射影像学Cam-panicci分级:Ⅰ级7例,Ⅱ级7例,Ⅲ级4例。病理学Jaffe分级:Ⅰ级8例,Ⅱ级7例,Ⅲ级3例。采用肿瘤扩大切除,吻合血管的自体腓骨、髂骨联合移植术治疗9例;瘤段切除,吻合血管的腓骨头移植重建术4例;瘤段切除,人工假体置换术5例。结果:随访时间11~110个月,平均66个月。所有移植骨术后均愈合,一侧关节间隙轻度狭窄2例,术后再复发1例。术后功能评价:优13例,良3例,可1例,差1例。结论:肿瘤扩大切除,吻合血管的自体腓骨、髂骨联合移植术既能彻底切除病变,又能保持和重建关节功能,是一种较理想的方法,Campanicci分级Ⅲ级、病理学Jaffe分级Ⅱ~Ⅲ级的复发性骨巨细胞瘤原则上应施行更为广泛的瘤段切除术,桡骨远端复发性骨巨细胞瘤因其部位的特殊性,应用自体腓骨移植重建效果良好。     

侧脑室脑膜瘤的诊断及显微手术治疗

目的 探讨侧脑室内脑膜瘤诊断特点及显微手术方法.方法 MRI和/或CT确诊并行显微手术切除侧脑室脑膜瘤24例,其中2例内窥镜辅助切除.肿瘤位于左侧三角区13例,右侧三角区7例,右侧体部1例,横跨双侧三角区1例,左侧颞角2例.顶枕入路15例,颞中回入路7例,经胼胝体后部入路2例.结果 24例影像学诊断与术后病理相符合,均给予全切.完整切除5例,分块切除19例.18例获得随访,完全正常10例,3例复发再次手术全切,癫痫2例,同向性偏盲3例.结论 CT和MRI是诊断侧脑室脑膜瘤的最可靠的手段,显微手术是目前侧脑室脑膜瘤的首选治疗方法.
