Rapidly Calcifying and Ossifying Epidural HematomaPediatric Neurosurgery - Tập 39 Số 4 - Trang 208-211 - 2003
Bülent Erdoğan, Orhan Şen, Nebıl Bal, Melih Çekinmez, Nur Altınörs
Conservative treatment of an epidural hematoma is not always effective in
children. We describe an 8-year-old boy who had been followed up conservatively
for 10 days at a local hospital due to acute epidural hematoma. A new CT
revealed an expansion of the former hematoma accompanied by a thick hyperdense
layer. Because the patient presented with symptoms of elevated intracranial
pressure, an immed... hiện toàn bộ
Fetal MRI in the Evaluation of Intrauterine MyelomeningocelePediatric Neurosurgery - Tập 32 Số 3 - Trang 124-131 - 2000
Kyle J. Mangels, Noel Tulipan, Leland Y. Tsao, John Alarcon, Joseph P. Bruner
Background: Accurate fetal imaging is essential to the practice of
maternal-fetal medicine. While ultrasonography has been the traditional mainstay
of fetal imaging, its ability to resolve critical features of central nervous
system (CNS) anatomy remains limited. As interest in intrauterine therapy for
myelomeningocele has increased, so has the need for more accurate, noninvasive
imaging of... hiện toàn bộ
Anterior Encephaloceles: A Study of 92 CasesPediatric Neurosurgery - Tập 36 Số 3 - Trang 113-118 - 2002
Ashok Kumar Mahapatra, Amit Suri
Anterior encephalocele is a rare condition, and only a few large series have
been published in the literature. Surprisingly, the incidence is much higher in
Southeast Asian countries, including some parts of India. While the reported
incidence in the West is between 1:35,000 and 1:40,000 live births, it is as
high as 1:5,000 live births in Thailand. We present a series comprising 92 cases
of anter... hiện toàn bộ
Congenital Dermal Sinus Elements in Each Tethering Stalk of Coexisting Thoracic Limited Dorsal Myeloschisis and Retained Medullary CordPediatric Neurosurgery - Tập 55 Số 6 - Trang 380-387 - 2020
Takato Morioka, Nobuya Murakami, Masako Ichiyama, Takeshi Kusuda, Satoshi Suzuki
Introduction: The embryogenesis of limited dorsal myeloschisis
(LDM) likely involves impaired disjunction between the cutaneous and neural
ectoderms during primary neurulation. Because LDM and congenital dermal sinus
(CDS) have a shared origin in this regard, CDS elements can be found in the LDM
stalk. Retained medullary cord (RMC) is a closed spinal dysraphism involving a
robust, el... hiện toàn bộ
Ependyma-Lined Canal with Surrounding Neuroglial Tissues in Lumbosacral Lipomatous Malformations: Relationship with Retained Medullary CordPediatric Neurosurgery - Tập 53 Số 6 - Trang 387-394 - 2018
Nobuya Murakami, Takato Morioka, Takafumi Shimogawa, Nobutaka Mukae, Satoshi Inoha, Takakazu Sasaguri, Satoshi Suzuki, Koji Iihara
Background: An ependyma-lined canal with surrounding neuroglial
tissues can be present in lumbosacral lipomatous malformations; however, the
precise embryological significance is still unclear. Method: Six
out of 50 patients with lipomatous malformations had ependymal structures. We
retrospectively analyzed the clinical, neuroradiological, and histological
findings of t... hiện toàn bộ
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever: A Rare Presentation as Atypical Acute Subdural HematomaPediatric Neurosurgery - Tập 44 Số 6 - Trang 490-492 - 2008
Rajeev Kumar, Om Prakash, B.S. Sharma
The risk of dengue is increasing due to population migration. It is the most
important arboviral infection in the world, with an estimated 100 million cases
per year and 2.5 billion people at risk. Generally recovery is the rule, and
hemorrhagic complications causing encephalopathy are rare but fatal. We report
an unusual case of hemorrhagic encephalopathy in a child with dengue hemorrhagic
fever ... hiện toàn bộ
Management of Hydrocephalus in Children with Posterior Fossa Tumors: Role of Tumor SurgeryPediatric Neurosurgery - Tập 43 Số 2 - Trang 92-96 - 2007
Bernt Johan Due‐Tønnessen, Eirik Helseth
Objective: The majority of children with posterior fossa tumors have
hydrocephalus (HC) at the time of presentation. There is no consensus regarding
the management of HC in these children. Here, we report the rate of cure of HC
with tumor surgery alone. Patients and Methods: This is a retrospective
study of 87 children with posterior fossa tumors in which 35 patients had
medulloblast... hiện toàn bộ
Factors Predicting the Need for Cerebrospinal Fluid Diversion following Posterior Fossa Tumor Surgery in ChildrenPediatric Neurosurgery - Tập 48 Số 2 - Trang 93-101 - 2012
Chittur Viswanathan Gopalakrishnan, Amit Dhakoji, Girish Menon, Suresh Nair
Background: No consensus exists regarding the management of
hydrocephalus in children with posterior fossa tumors before, during or after
surgery. In the present study we analyze the factors that predispose to
persistent hydrocephalus and the need for a postoperative cerebrospinal fluid
(CSF) diversion procedure. Methods: Pediatric patients who
underwent surgery for pos... hiện toàn bộ
