Background: Omphalocele-exstrophy-imperforate anus-spinal defects (OEIS) complex is a rare, life-threatening congenital malformation primarily treated with abdominogenital repair. The optimal indication and timing of neurosurgical interventions for the associated spinal cord lesions remains insufficiently studied. We reviewed spinal dysraphism in OEIS to evaluate the best timing for neurosurgical intervention.

Nasal and paranasal sinus masses can arise from a wide range of conditions, both benign and malignant, as well as congenital or acquired. Diagnosing these masses is often challenging, requiring a combination of nasal endoscopy, imaging studies, and histopathological analysis. Initial imaging frequently involves computed tomography or cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to evaluate the bony anatomy of the nasal cavity and surrounding sinuses, while magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is typically used for detailed assessment of soft tissues and to aid in differential diagnosis when the findings are inconclusive.

Article Synopsis
- Dermal sinus tracts (DSTs) are rare congenital lesions that pose risks of infection and neurological issues due to their connection between the skin and spinal cord, making surgical intervention recommended, though the timing for surgery in asymptomatic cases is uncertain.
- A retrospective review from 1998 to 2022 studied 52 patients who underwent DST excision and detethering, excluding those with pre-existing complications.
- Results indicated a median surgery age of 7 months, with complications in 8% of cases, and younger age at surgery was linked to higher risks of postoperative problems and continued neurological issues.
Tethered cord syndrome in an adult with filum terminale lipoma: A case report.
Surg Neurol Int
October 2024
Department of Spinal Neurosurgery, Kyoto Katsura Hospital, Kyoto, Japan.
Background: Filum terminale lipomas (FTLs) are congenital lumbosacral anomalies that can cause tethered cord syndrome (TCS). Most patients with TCS caused by FTL are children, and these are only rarely present in adults.
Case Description: A 64-year-old male presented with long-standing bilateral lower-limb weakness and bladder dysfunction.
