Neurosurgery, a demanding specialty, involves many microsurgical procedures that require complex skills, including open surgical treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Simulation or practice models may be useful for acquiring these skills before trainees perform surgery on human patients.To describe placenta model the creation and clipping aneurysms.Placental vessels from 40 placentas were dimensionally comparable to sizes appropriate cerebral isolated create aneurysms different shapes. The...
OBJECTIVE Surgery for brain aneurysms is technically demanding. In recent years, the process to learn technical skills necessary these challenging procedures has been affected by a decrease in number of surgical cases available and progressive restrictions on resident training hours. To overcome limitations, simulators such as cadaver heads human placenta models have developed. However, effectiveness improving unknown. This study assessed concurrent predictive validity aneurysm surgery...
To prospectively evaluate the results of endoscopic choroid plexus cauterization (ECPC) and ventriculoperitoneal shunts (VPSs) in infants with hydranencephaly or near hydranencephaly.We collected clinical data from all untreated hydranencephalic children October 2006 to March 2008. All patients treated were randomly divided into 2 groups, ECPC VPS, submitted either shunt placement.Seventeen entered study. was completed 9 patients; procedure successfully controlled excessive head...
Atresia of the foramina Magendie and Luschka is a rare cause obstructive hydrocephalus. Although this condition has been classically treated by CSF shunting, recent treatments have also included endoscopic third ventriculostomy. In present study, authors case patient with hydrocephalus in whom an alternative method was used following shunt malfunction. A young female placed during patient's 1st year life faring well until she 8 years old. She admitted to emergency department 5 times signs...
Arachnoid cysts (AC) are extra-cerebral cerebrospinal fluid collections of unknown origin. They correspond to 1% all intracranial nontraumatic space-occupying lesions and appear more frequently in the middle fossa (50%). More than 25% these incidental findings majority patients asymptomatic. Seizures, hypertension signs, neurological deficits, macrocrania, developmental delay bulging skull main signs symptoms lesion. AC rupture bleeding rare, usually occurring young adults associated with...
The laminoplasty technique was devised by Hirabayashi in 1978 for patients diagnosed with multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy.To describe an easy modification of Hirabayashi's method and present the clinical radiological results from a five-year follow-up study.Eighty had 5 levels decompression (C3-C7), 3 6 (C2-T1) 4 (C3-C6). Foraminotomies were performed 23 cases (27%). Following Nurick`s scale, 76 (88%) improved, 9 (11%) same Nurick grade, one patient worsened advised to undergo...
This study aimed to raise demographic and epidemiological aspects as well the time until surgery in patients with brachial plexus injury Minas Gerais, Brazil. Forty-seven who underwent were evaluated retrospectively period 2010 2011. The majority (91.5%) male, mean age 34.4 years; 56.5% single or separated; 55.3%, from countryside of Gerais. With regard schooling, 47.8% had not completed elementary school level. Most them (43.5%) a heavy duty job, including houseworking, agriculture,...
The aging process is commonly associated with high rates of musculoskeletal dysfunction that lead to levels dependence and pain. Objective: To analyze pain related aspects in hospitalized elderly patients abnormalities. Method: This a quantitative, descriptive study performed 108 abnormalities admitted general medical unit hospital Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Results: Fractures were the main cause pain, followed by bone metastasis degenerative diseases. High prevalence acute...
Ingestion of foreign bodies is a common problem seen at emergency rooms and frequently involves chicken fish bones. There are few cases migrated through the retropharynx causing infectious process in area but no one, despite proximity, spondylodiscitis. Perhaps such condition attributed to integrity longus colli fascia covering protecting cervical spine. We described first case spondylodiscitis due body (saw-toothed bone) that penetrated carved into vertebral C3.
OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to use different segments of the cervical spine in cadavers determine how much lateral mass should be resected for adequate foraminal decompression. METHODS: Six were used. The region from C1 C7-T1 transition dissected and exposed. each vertebra measured bilaterally before foraminotomy following segments: C2-C3, C3-C4, C4-C5, C5-C6 C6-C7. procedure performed with a high-speed drill through surgical microscopy. Three foraminotomies (F1, F2, F3) level....
Introduction The sural nerve (SN) is commonly used for grafting following resection of a neuroma-in-continuity in neonatal brachial plexus lesions (NBPL). main drawbacks the current open techniques are large scars and contractures late postoperative stage, which may, severe cases, cause equinovarus contractures. Objective To describe feasibility technical aspects endoscopic SN harvesting with use basic endoscopy instruments small incisions. Methods Prospective observational study NBPL...
Introduction Refractory occipital neuralgia is a difficult medical condition, especially when the patient has already been submitted to nerve neurectomy and radiofrequency rhizotomy. There no case report of spinal cord stimulation in C1-C4 cervical segments for this condition. Objective To evaluate if dorsal effective with refractory who was Methods After obtaining approval from Ethics Committee one our institutions, unilateral laminectomy performed between C3 C4, neurostimulator lead...
ABSTRACT Objective The objective of our study was to report 5 years experience in the recognition and management refractory meralgia paresthetica (MP) patients who had undergone posterior approach lumbar surgery. Methods Patients were submitted procedures spine from January 2010 2015 three different hospital centers Belo Horizonte/MG selected for an evaluation postoperative development MP. A prospective observational comparative case series study. Level evidence III. Evaluation following...
Objective: The BHTRM Project aims at studying the epidemiology of TRM in city Belo Horizonte and providing means to monitor these patients. Method: To assess efficacy solvability project, two groups patients treated João XXIII Hospital were compared distinct periods. Group 1 - from May 1, 2011 July 31, 2011, months project initiation 2 December 2012 February 28, 2013. Results: Despite 34% increase number assisted patients, there is a 30% drop average days hospitalization, as well...
