Article Synopsis
- * A study of 38 HD patients who underwent surgery found that a majority (78.9%) had poor outcomes at discharge, and significant differences were noted in Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores and hematoma volumes between patients with better and very poor outcomes.
- * Despite the overall poor surgical outcomes, 21.1% of patients achieved a favorable modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 4 or less; patients with a GCS > 9 or hemat
Background: This study aimed to investigate medication prescriptions for patients with myelomeningocele (MMC) across different age groups, particularly in adulthood and after middle age.
Methods: The Japan Medical Data Center (JMDC) database, based on medical claims data, was utilized for this analysis. Patients were divided into 10-year age groups, and prescriptions for analgesics, anticonvulsants, psychotropic drugs, lifestyle disease-related drugs, drugs for urinary incontinence, and laxatives were examined.
Background: Stable intraoperative neurophysiology monitoring of infants, especially very young infants, is challenging. In this study, motor evoked potentials (MEPs), the bulbocavernosus reflex (BCR), and somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) were simultaneously monitored in infants with lumbosacral lipomas, and these methods were compared retrospectively.
Methods: A total of 21 surgeries performed for lumbosacral lipoma in patients less than 1 year old were studied.
Background: Although there have been reports investigating the quality of life of patients who underwent ventriculoperitoneal shunting or endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) for congenital hydrocephalus, there have been no studies of the quality of life of patients after ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) removal. In the present study, a survey of pediatric and congenital hydrocephalus patients was conducted to compare the quality of life of patients with a remaining VPS with that of patients who had the shunt removed.
Methods: Between February 2020 and November 2021, an outpatient survey was administered to patients 8 years of age and older who had undergone VPS due to a diagnosis of congenital hydrocephalus.
Purpose: A rare case of a newborn girl born by a normal vaginal delivery who developed a severe supratentorial subdural hematoma due to a laceration in the tentorium cerebelli is presented.
Methods And Results: The girl, born by normal vaginal delivery at 39 weeks and 4 days of gestation, showed an intermittent decrease in oxygen saturation and bulging of the anterior fontanelle. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a subdural hematoma centered in the left occipital region with a midline shift.
Background: Although endoscopic ventriculo-cysto-cisternostomy is considered to be effective for suprasellar arachnoid cysts, we encountered a giant suprasellar arachnoid cyst that recurred despite surgery using this technique.
Case Description: The patient was a 9-month-old boy. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a huge suprasellar arachnoid cyst extending from the suprasellar region to the anterior skull base and both middle cranial fossa.
Background: In order to remove a foreign body in the ventricle, such as a ventricular drainage catheter, craniotomy and corticotomy are required to access the ventricle. A case in which a catheter in the 4th ventricle was safely removed with a flexible neuroendoscope is reported.
Case Description: A 47-year-old man underwent coil embolization and ventricular drainage for subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Objective: Blood blister-like aneurysms (BBA) often develop on the anterior wall of the internal carotid artery, and few cases have been reported at other sites. We report a case of stent-assisted coil embolization in the acute phase for a ruptured BBA of the basilar artery.
Case Presentation: A 53-year-old woman underwent emergency stent-assisted coil embolization for subarachnoid hemorrhage due to a ruptured BBA in the main trunk of the basilar artery.
Purpose: To report a case of retinal detachment with retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) tear, under hypotony after trabeculectomy, which immediately resolved upon elevation of intraocular pressure.
Observations: A 67-year-old man who had undergone trabeculectomy presented for treatment of a visual field defect in his left eye. His glaucoma surgery was uneventful.
