Surgical resection of large encephalocele: a report of two cases and consideration of resectability based on developmental morphology.

Introduction: The first-line treatment of encephalocele is reduction of herniated structures. Large irreducible encephalocele entails resection of the lesion. In such case, it is essential to ascertain preoperatively if the herniated structure encloses critical venous drainage.

Material And Methods: The study included nine patients with DCM and irreducible heart failure. By immunoblotting and indirect immunofluorescence, the amount and location of annexins was determined using samples of left ventricular (LV) myocardium collected during orthotopic heart allotransplantation.

Syncope occurring in patients with primary dilated cardiac disease has several causes: ventricular tachycardia (VT), a major severe cause of this diagnosis, occurring however only in one third of cases. The other causes are supraventricular tachycardia, bradycardia and vagal hyperactivity. The management depends on the etiology of syncope in one hand and the severity of the cardiac disease and other comorbidities in the other hand.

The management of cardiac failure due to diastolic dysfunction is not well codified and is often empirical. It has three objectives: improving the physiopathological components of ventricular filling, treating the associated aggravating pathological conditions, and treating the basic cause of the dysfunction. Symptomatic treatment aims to reduce venous congestion (by diuretics or nitrate derivatives), to prolong the diastolic period by slowing the heart rate (by betablockers, bradycardising calcium antagonists or digitalis in cases of irreducible atrial fibrillation), to improve passive ventricular distensibility by an effect on remodelling (by angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or anti-aldosterone diuretics).

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heritable disorder of bone development caused by defective collagen synthesis. Basilar invagination is an uncommon but devastating complication of this disease. The authors present a comprehensive strategy for management of craniovertebral anomalies associated with OI and related osteochondrodysplasias.
