Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a part of heterogeneous group conditions characterized by the congenital absence epidermis, dermis, and in some cases, subcutaneous tissues or bone usually involving scalp vertex. There an estimated incidence 3 10,000 births resulting total number 500 reported cases to date. The lesions may occur on every body surface although localized form most frequent pattern (70%). Complete aplasia defects occurs approximately 20% cases. ACC can as isolated defect be...
Hippocampus protection, as an organ at risk in brain radiotherapy, might protect patients' quality of life. Prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) has been used traditionally small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients it increases survival. This study aimed to discover the contributing parameters for a successful PCI with simultaneous protection hippocampus by using three different treatment machines. For this purpose, plans were generated 45 SCLC half-arcs linear accelerators (LINACs; Elekta...
Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulae (sDAVFs) are rare entities with delayed diagnosis, potentially dramatic clinical manifestations, and complex management. We aim to present our mini case series perform an updated systematic review of the usual patient profile, search for established prognostic factors, compare effectiveness safety surgical endovascular intervention, discuss trends in therapeutic strategy. retrospectively collected data from patients treated department last decade...
Subependymal giant cell astrocytomas (SEGAs) appear approximately in 10% of patients with tuberous sclerosis. These tumors are most commonly diagnosed childhood and adolescence, utero SEGAs being an extremely rare entity.We present the case a congenital SEGA detected antenatal ultrasound further investigated fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans at 22 32 weeks gestational age. At 9 days age, child underwent craniotomy partial excision tumor, followed by second more extensive operation...
Crocus sativus L., a dietary herb, has been used for various diseases including cancer. This is an in vitro study investigating the antineoplastic effect of extract plant against C6 glioma rat cell line. The mechanism cellular death and synergistic with alkylating agent temozolomide (TMZ) were investigated. Cellular viability was examined concentrations alone or combination TMZ. Apoptosis determined flow cytometry terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) autophagy...
Hemangiopericytoma and solitary fibrous tumor (HPC/SFT) are considered to be one category according the WHO 2016 classification of central nervous system tumors. HPC/SFT subdivided into infantile (congenital) adult type. Both extremely rare entities, with little knowledge about etiology, prognosis, optimal therapeutic strategy.A 10-day-old girl was referred our neurosurgical department due hypotonia, palsy right oculomotor nerve, prominent frontal fontanel. Imaging studies revealed a large...
Infratentorial subdural empyemas in children are extremely rare and potentially lethal intracranial infections. Delay diagnosis therapy is associated with increased morbidity mortality.A 4-year-old boy presented cerebellar signs following a failed treatment of otitis media. Imaging studies revealed empyema left transverse sigmoid sinus thrombosis. The was evacuated operatively antibiotic initiated administered for 6 weeks. patient recovered fully discharged 4 weeks the evacuation...
Hydrocephalus is a common neurosurgical pathology that affects people of all ages and especially the pediatric population. It can be very often life threatening condition neurosurgeons must deal with. Therefore number CSF diversion techniques have been established. The gold standard treatment currently placement ventriculo-peritoneal shunt. Because hydrocephalus being lifelong condition, it almost in daily practice dealing with cases shunt failures for reasons. Herewith we present 4 year old...
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia is a rare autosomal dominant inherited disease that usually complicated by visceral vascular malformations. Patients harboring such malformations are at increased risk of brain abscess formation, which despite advances in diagnostic and surgical methods remains life threatening medical emergency with high mortality morbidity rates. In the present report we describe case cerebral due to silent pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (AVM) young patient...
