<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare histiocytic neoplasm that affects patients, predominantly males aged 40–70 years, with very heterogeneous clinical presentation and prognosis. In 2020, Goyal et al. proposed consensus recommendations for the management of patients ECD, remarking on exceptional in pediatric population. <b><i>Case Presentation:</i></b> The first patient, 20-year-old male, underwent cervical...
<i>Background:</i> Human fetal striatal transplantation (HFST) is an experimental stereotactic intervention in the treatment of Huntington’s disease (HD). This procedure has proved feasible, safe, well tolerated and it offers a potential strategy for brain repair HD patients. Target areas are nucleus caudatus caput (NCc) precommissural postcommissural putamen (Pu). A suboptimal spatial distribution grafts was frequently reported, especially Pu, because atrophy concurrent...
Abstract It is known that intracranial tumors may trigger trigeminal neuralgia (TN) in some patients although the exact prevalence and occurrence not completely defined yet. In present study, we a case series of with brain tumor clinical diagnosis TN as first main manifestation disease. A retrospective analysis was performed involving diagnosed whose exclusive feature our department focused on TN. addition, review all published cases performed. From January 2017 to November 2018, 718 were...
Intramedullary spinal cord metastases originating from mesenchymal tumors are rare. We report on a case of intramedullary metastasis synovial sarcoma (SS). This 59-year-old man presented with rapidly progressive quadriparesis and exacerbating cordonal pain. Six years earlier he had undergone surgical removal an SS the right forearm, followed by chemotherapy radiation therapy. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging demonstrated lesion at C3‐5. On computed tomography scanning, pulmonary mass was also...
Colloid cysts (CCs) are rare at all ages, and particularly among children. The current literature on pediatric CC is limited, often included in mixed adult/pediatric series. goal of this multinational, multicenter study was to combine forces centers investigate the clinical course CCs.A retrospective performed attain a large sample size, focusing diagnosis patients younger than 18 years age. Collected data presentation, radiological characteristics, treatment, outcome.One hundred thirty-four...
We report the case of a 16-year-old girl presenting with spinal clear-cell multiple meningiomas (CCMs). In view this presentation, we sequenced bioinformatic panel genes associated susceptibility to meningioma, identifying germline heterozygous variant in SMARCE1. Somatic DNA investigations CCM demonstrated deletion wild-type allele (loss heterozygosity, LOH), supporting causative role variant. Family segregation study detected SMARCE1 asymptomatic father and sister who, nevertheless,...
Background: Myelomeningocele (MMC) is the most common open spinal dysraphism (OSD) and typically associated with other clinical and/or radiological abnormalities. Chiari type 2 malformation (CM-II) observed in 80% to 96.7% of patients, approximately cases involve posterior fossa abnormalities leading hydrocephalus. MMC patients can present syringomyelia, which usually improves by treating However, a minority develop progressive form syringomyelia requiring more invasive treatments. Through...
The interlaminar contralateral approach (ICA) is a promising surgical alternative for the treatment of far-lateral lumbar disc herniations (FLLDH). To date no study has compared ICA and FLLDH conventional treatments, namely intertransverse, transmuscular intermuscular approaches, in terms safety outcome.Patients who underwent surgery at our Institution between January 2015 September 2018 were reviewed. complications clinical outcomes with those approaches 1-month postoperatively last...
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) represents a valid therapeutic option for patients with medically intractable seizures who are not candidates epilepsy surgery. Even when complete section of the occurs, applied cranially to involved segment does preclude efficacy VNS. Complete vagus neuroma causing definitive left vocal cord palsy has never been previously reported in literature.Eight years after VNS implant, patient experienced worsening seizures; interrogation generator revealed high...
