Both transfibular ankle arthrodesis with fibular onlay grafting and using the Ilizarov apparatus have resulted in acceptable fusion rates. This study analyzed outcomes authors' practice for all patients who underwent apparatus.A retrospective review was conducted of experienced severe pain associated osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, talar osteonecrosis, or septic arthritis an between 1995 2010. Postoperative clinical were evaluated 42 consecutive (43 feet) received primary revision...
The surgical techniques for treatment of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH), a common neurosurgical condition, have been discussed in lot clinical literature. However, the recurrence proportion after CSDH surgery remains high, ranging from 10 to 20%. standard procedure involves craniostomy evacuate hematoma, but irrigating cavity during is debatable. authors hypothesized that choice irrigation fluid might be key factor affecting outcomes surgery. This multicenter randomized controlled trial...
Purpose: The MR findings in patients with spastic diplegia were investigated and the role of imaging assessing extent brain injury was evaluated. Material Methods: 39 male 24 female (preterm/term 43/20) imaged using a 0.5 T system. Results: term quite different from those preterm patients; 55% showed normal minimal changes on MR, whereas 90.7% 43 children had periventricular leucomalacia. deep cerebral white matter most frequently involved site. Objective measurements revealed significant...
The transcriptome analysis of injured Xenopus laevis tadpole and mice suggested that Neurod4L.S., a basic-helix-loop-helix transcription factor, was the most promising factor to exert neuroregeneration after spinal cord injury (SCI) in mammals. We generated pseudotyped retroviral vector with neurotropic lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) envelope deliver murine Neurod4 undergoing SCI. SCI induced ependymal cells neural stem (NSCs) central canal. LCMV envelope-based pseudotypedvector...
There have been few clinical studies in the area of cervical spine that focused on surgery for treating degenerative lumbar disease patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). High rates wound complications and instrumentation failure reported more RA than non-RA patients, although outcomes are similar between two groups. Lumbar canal stenosis is caused not only by degeneration but also RA-related spondylitis, which includes facet inflammation around vertebral endplate. The pitfalls surgical...
We experienced a case of carotid free-floating thrombus treated by ultrasonography-guided endovascular approach. A 63-year-old man was brought to our hospital with the chief complaint sudden onset left hemiplegia. MRI revealed acute infarction right MCA territory due M1 occlusion. Carotid ultrasonography showed pedunculated, polypoid mobile plaque floating cardiac beat. attempted treatment. Under proximal balloon protection, successfully aspirated into Penumbra aspiration catheter. stent...
Described herein is the case of an 8‐year‐old boy who developed a hepatic nodular lesion after having received anti‐neoplastic therapy for nephroblastoma. Histological examination excised specimen indicated disordered arrangement components with hemangioma‐like features. This was diagnosed as variant focal hyperplasia. It speculated that this late complication treatment nephroblastoma and might develop from congenital malformative area liver.
Dandy-Walker malformation (DWM) is a posterior fossa anomaly characterized by hypoplasia and upward rotation of the cerebellar vermis cystic dilation fourth ventricle. The cyst DWM rarely extends posteriorly to almost completely fill entire fossa, which mimics primary agenesis, porencephalic cyst, an arachnoid due lack clarity thin wall. A 10-month-old female born at 23 weeks' gestation with hemorrhage in neonatal period was admitted our hospital dysphagia side-to-side head bobbing....
We describe a rare case of 42-year-old female who had possible double crush syndrome caused by iatrogenic spinal epidermoid tumor (ET) associated with lumbar puncture as well concomitant sacral Tarlov cyst in close proximity. She presented progressive left-sided perianal pain. history Caesarean section anesthesia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated relatively small intradural extramedullary solid lesion at L5/S1 level and cystic S2 level. considered there were two different...
Vertebral hemangiomas are the most common benign vertebral tumors and usually asymptomatic. Aggressive subtypes of tumor, called aggressive VHs (AVHs), can become symptomatic with extraosseous extensions require surgical removal. We present a case AVH in 36-year-old man presenting low back pain right leg that persisted for three months. Imaging studies showed Th12 tumor extended into spinal canal was squeezing cord. Computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy indicated hemangimoa. Following...
Symptomatic thoracic disc herniation (TDH) with radiculopathy alone is an extremely rare condition. Here, we report a case of TDH in 52-year-old man who presented medically refractory severe right flank pain. Based on pain distribution, intensity changes according to truncal position, ineffectiveness intercostal nerve block, and radiological findings, his was determined be caused by at T9-10 level. often requires invasive surgery. However, can treated via posterior approach without spinal...
This study analyzed the efficacy of web excision combined with a pre-membranous incision on dilated proximal segment for congenital intestinal atresia type I and stenosis (CIA-I/S).
Filar lipomas are a subtype of spinal wherein adipose tissue accumulation is restricted to the filum terminale. Embryologically, filar considered occur because failure secondary neurulation, although precise mechanism not yet completely understood. Involvement ectopic mesodermal, ectodermal, and endodermal tissues in has been occasionally reported, origin these supposed be migration pluripotent tissues, which exist during neurulation. We report an infantile case capillary hemangioma involved...
The objective of this study is to analyze how the traditional settlements on coastal zone have adapted or coped with severe conditions natural environment like strong wind and high humidity salinity. We chosen three typical settlements, which are situated different land conditions. found out that these indigenous tactics mitigate harmonize by according their These skillful environmental friendly methods can be pervaded in worldwide habitations zone.
One of the most significant challenges in patients with medulloblastoma is reducing dose craniospinal irradiation (CSI) to minimize neurological sequelae survivors. Molecular characterization receiving lower than standard CSI therapy important facilitate further reduction treatment burden. We conducted DNA methylation analysis using an Illumina Methylation EPIC array investigate molecular prognostic markers 38 who were registered Japan Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Group and treated reduced-dose...
Benign retroperitoneal teratomas are relatively rare tumors that usually progress slowly and found in newborns young adults. Here, we report a case which prenatally diagnosed tumor rapidly increased diameter from 55 mm to 90 during the neonatal period. The was removed while preserving surrounding organs. Moreover, patient's postoperative course uneventful. Pathological examination revealed an immature teratoma with no malignant findings. Notably, even benign may exhibit rapid growth of their...
