Abstract

Parasagittal meningioma is a benign extra-axial tumor from the arachnoid cap cell that fills the parasagittal angle. This case report presents a case of a 21-years old young female with a history of complete visual loss, left side paresthesia, and progressive blunt headache. Brain MRI and MRV revealed a giant enhancing tumor measuring 9.2 cm x 8.41 cm x 7.5 cm on the right parietooccipital lobe with obstruction of the posterior third of the superior sagittal sinus. Gross total removal was achieved. The pathology reports confirmed a WHO grade I meningioma. The paresthesia and headache were improved, but the loss of visions did not change. Giant parasagittal meningioma may invade the superior sagittal sinus leading to intracranial hypertension. The surgical strategy should target the survival and postoperative quality of life. Occlusion of posterior third superior sagittal sinus affects deficiency venous return resulting in visual loss.

Abstract

Abstract :Tuberculosis is one of the most common infectious diseases in the world. The thoracolumbar spine is the commonest form of vertebral tuberculosis, whereas isolated tuberculosis of the sacrum is rarely reported in the literature. A male patient of 22-year old had complained low back pain since 2 years before admission to hospital without history of trauma on back. He also got low-grade fever and weight loss. There was no tuberculosis contagion found, no cough or night sweat. Clinical examination revealed neurological deficit with strength of both lower extremities were 4 and hipestesia in the level of lumbal 5 and downward. Radiographs of lumbosacral showed deformity of lumbal 5. CT scans of spine showed deformity of sacrum. MRI revealed spondylolisthesis L5-S1, S1-S2, S2-S3 and mass in the anterior posterior and lateral of paralumbal 5 and parasacral. There is no involvement of gluteus muscle and the around muscle. The patient underwent surgical of sequestrectomy with drainage abscess and lumbo-sacral-illiac fusion. The culture of sacral tissue showed Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The patient was treated with combination of four antituberculosis agents.

Abstract

Background: Meningioma is common primary central nervous system tumors. Twenty-five percent of all meningioma consist of skull base meningioma. Planum sphenoidale meningiomas are rare. Planum sphenoidale meningiomas can extend into adjacent areas. Approximately two thirds of patients complain of failing vision in one eye as the first symptom. Case Report: A 32-year-old woman presented with 6-month history of progressively worsening blurred of both of vision. She also complained her smell ability was reduced for 3 months. She had headache for 6 months. The pain was worsening in the morning. She is conscious. A neurologic examination revealed bilateral hyposmia and visual deficits but no weakness. Visus of oculo dextra was 1/300 and visus of oculo sinistra was no light perception. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) intravena contrast of brain revealed a large extra-axial mass measured ±6,2x5,9x6 cm centred on planum sphenoidale displacing both frontal lobes. She had an operation of tumor removal with cranio-orbito-zygotomy approach. The tumor, which measured ±7cmx7cmx6 cm, was succesfully removed completely. She gets improvement of smell ability and both visual postoperatively. The histopathology of the tumor revealed meningioma WHO grade I. Discussion: Planum sphenoidale meningiomas present a frequently encountered pathology of the anterior skull base. These meningiomas give rise to an early visual disturbance with relatively slow progression. Displacement of the olfactory tracts and optic chiasm occur when the meningioma extends into the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity. Clinical presentation and diagnosis often occur in the late stage. Anosmia is one of common finding on physical examination. Postoperative improvement of visual symptoms depends on the preoperative duration of those symptoms.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been infecting nearly 800.000 individuals of all ages in 31 March 2020. Based on Harvard Medical school experience, almost over 80% of patients have switched to telemedicine services. In Indonesia, there are almost 1,22 million cases with recovery of 1 million case and the death of 33.183 cases. In North Sumatera, the COVID-19 cases occurred in 22.999 cases and the recovery of 19.758 cases with death of 786 cases. Here, we report the trend of traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases in pandemic era 2020 in our institution in Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan, North Sumatera. Method: This retrospective observational study reported 343 TBI cases from January 2020 to December 2020. January 2020 to March 2020 regarded as pre pandemic and April 2020 to December 2020 as the pandemic era. Results: There is significant decrease of traumatic brain injury patients from March 2020 to April 2020. It was 61% decrease in patients admission to our Emergency Department (ED). Demographically, male patients in productive age group and mild TBI has the most common presentation to our ED. Discussion: There is significant decrease of patients with TBI in our institution. The number of cases was declining from 55 patients on January to 21 patients on April. This also occurred concurrently with the start of social distancing in Indonesia on April 2020 and the civilian suggested to stay at home during this period. This decline was also found in other countries, like Massachusetts, USA and India. Conclusion: We reported significant decrease in traumatic brain injury cases in Adam Malik General Hospital during COVID-19 pandemic era in 2020. Neurosurgeons and Residents of Neurosurgery have to be cautious in assessing the TBI patients to limit the spread of COVID-19 in ED.

Abstract

Sepsis is a medical emergency that requires a rapid response and effective coordination among healthcare professionals. Communication and interprofessional team coordination play a crucial role in ensuring optimal sepsis management, reducing mortality, and improving patient care quality. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of communication and coordination within interprofessional teams during emergency sepsis management in healthcare facilities. A qualitative research approach was employed, involving direct observations and in-depth interviews with medical personnel involved in sepsis management. The findings indicate that clear communication, adherence to standardized protocols, and the presence of a competent team leader contribute to effective coordination in emergency situations. However, several challenges were identified, including delayed information transmission, differences in understanding among professionals, and high workload, which may hinder team efficiency. Therefore, strategies to enhance communication and coordination, such as emergency simulation training and the implementation of supportive technologies, are needed to improve the responsiveness of interprofessional teams in sepsis management
