Abstract

Objective: To describe a rare patient with ruptur aneurysm case of distal anterior choroidal artery (AChA) and intraventricular hemorrhage. A 56-year old female came to our hospital with chief complaint sudden onset of severe headache and vomiting.Methods: Head computed tomography (CT)-scan and angiography on the lesion was performed at the Department of Radiology, Siloam Hospital, Tangerang, Indonesia.Results: Head CT-scan imaging revealed an intraventricular hemorrhage, primarily in the right lateral ventricle, with slight enlargement of both lateral, 3rd and 4th ventricles. Angiography examination revealed a round vascular lesion at the wall of the posterior cornu of the lateral ventricle and an occlusion of the M1 base segment of the left middle cerebral artery.Conclusions: The lesion, distal AChA aneurysm, at the posterior cornu was reached using an infratemporal lobe approach with the help of neuronavigation. Microsurgical clipping was successfully performed.Keywords: Aneurysm, distal anterior choroidal artery, neuronavigation DOI: 10.15850/ijihs.v4n2.837

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Inflammation following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is associated with patient outcome. This study aimed to analyze the dynamics pattern of the pro-inflammatory interleukin (IL)-1β and anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) following aneurysmal SAH.METHODS: This is a prospective observational study. The CSF was collected prior to surgery, and on the 2nd, 4th and 6th days after surgery. The CSF was then analyzed for IL-1β and -10 using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Delayed Ischemic Neurological Deficits (DIND) was determined based on new neurological deficits within the first week after surgery. Data was analysed with T test or Wilcoxon Rank-Sum test to evaluate the pattern of biomarkers between DIND and non-DIND groups.RESULTS: There were 33 patients enrolled in this study, 16 patients (48.48%) who experienced DIND and 17 patients (51.52%) were non-DIND. There were significant increase dynamic levels of IL-10 and -1β in DIND patients (p<0.05).CONCLUSION: Significant increase levels of IL-10 and -1β in CSF after aneurysmal SAH are associated with DIND.KEYWORDS: IL-1β, IL-10, DIND

Abstract

Background There has been increasing number of babies detectedwith SIH. In regard to find diagnostic clues for the first-rate babieswho really needs CT scan and referral, simple observation to lookat certain clinical and laboratory findings is needed.Objective To identify diagnostic clues associated with spontaneousintracranial hemorrhage (SIH) in babies.Methods Retrospective observation was carried out among ba-bies with SIH within the last two and a half years. Patients wereexcluded if there was an obvious cause of SIH such as trauma orany underlying disease such as hemophilia. Variables that wereobserved were patient's age, seizure, decreased level of conscious-ness, tensed fontanel, neurological deficits, vomitting, fever(T > 3 7 .SOC), anemia, jaundice, PT and aPTT. All data weredescriptively evaluated.Results There were 53 babies with SIH (31 baby boys, 22 babygirls), forty eight of which (91%) were less than 3 months old.Of those, 50 patients (94%) had seizure as the leading clinicalpresentation, 44 patients (83%) had decreased level of conscious-ness, and 39 patients (74%) had tensed fontanel. PT and aPTTwere prolonged in 39 (74%) cases. The most common lesion wassubdural hematoma (38 cases/72%). Forty-three babies (81 o/o)required neurosurgical intervention. Overall mortality rate was22%.Conclusion Babies with seizure, decreased level of consciousness,tensed fontanel, and prolonged PT and aPTT should be consideredto harbor SIH. They need a CT scan and referral, particularlythose less than three months old. The prognosis is unfavorable,thus early recognition and treatment is needed

Abstract

Lymphangiomas (LMs) are uncommon congenital malformations of the lymphatic system, with an estimated incidence of one in 2,000 to 4,000 live births.1 About half of these lesions are diagnosed at birth, and by two years of age, 90% of those with lesions have been diagnosed.2 Histologically, LMs are benign lesions; however, they can pose a serious threat to the patient due to possible growth into surrounding structures, sometimes causing life-threatening complications. Treatment of large head and neck lymphangiomas in young infants is very challenging, due to the risk of surgical complications. Further challenges include the limited volume of blood loss that infants can tolerate, the lack of the option for radiotherapy or radiosurgery, and the high chance of life-threatening complications if the LM is not treated. Here, we report a case of a two-month-old baby girl presenting with a large head and neck lymphangioma. She was successfully treated with intralesional triamcinolone acetonide injections, followed by surgical resection of the lesion.

Abstract

The brain ischemia due to vascular occlusion, especially in the main cerebral artery, could trigger the microglia as a natural immune cell in the brain. These activated microglia will turn up the inflammation cascade in the ischemic area. Interleukin-4 (IL-4) has a vital role in the microglial alteration to become an anti-inflammatory phenotype, which wind up the expression of MHC II and CD11c. Moreover, previous studies has supported that the stimulation of IL-4 in the culture of microglia/macrophage will produce this kind of “alternative” phenotype or neuroprotective phenotype, through the fall of TNF and rise of IGF-1. However, only a few have discussed the role and profile of IL-4 in ischemic stroke. This review article will cover the possibility of IL-4 role as an anti-inflammatory predictor in ischemic stroke.Keywords: Interleukin-4, microglia, ischemic stroke, inflammation

Abstract

En plaque meningioma is at frontal region is difficult to be differentiated from osteoma, based on CT scan only. En plaque meningioma represents in 2-9% of all meningioma cases. Usually en plaque meningioma grows on the sphenoid wing, whereas only 1 % grows on the frontal and temporal bone. This case is female 37 year- old who presents with chronic headache and huge lump on her right forehead that she believes it slowly enlarges for the last 5 years. The Computerized Tomography scan (CT scan) shows thickening of the right fronto-temporal bone (3-4 cm) with the diameter of 12 cm and bony hard. Initial impression suggests it could be osteoma or fibrous dysplasia. After the MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) with contrast, it shows a carpet like tumor underline the thickening bone, and it suggest an en plaque meningioma. For en plaque meningioma, we have to remove the abnormal duramater. We suggest that for a case with a wide thickening calvarian bone, it’s better to get the MRI of the head with contrast.

Abstract

Pituitary adenoma contributes to 15% of all intracranial neoplasm. It is usually following benign course and some of them are silent (asymptomatic clinically, but hormone-secreting). Silent adenoma usually found incidentally or when the patients show mass effect (neurological deficits). Many of histologically aggressive silent adenoma subtypes are associated with invasiveness, recurrence and progression to clinically functioning adenomas. Aggressive silent adenoma radiologically tends to invade in downward direction, invading bone, sinus cavernosus, parasellar region. The nature of aggressive silent adenoma subtypes is differing in nature compared to benign nature of pituitary adenoma and should be confirmed immunohistochemically to determine the prognosis and anticipate the risk of recurrence or progression. The case illustration show a real case of 46 years old female progressive headache and visual disturbance diagnosed with non-functional pituitary macroadenoma but positive for more than one immunochemistry biomarker (plurihormonal aggressive silent adenoma).

Abstract

Background: Penetrating cranial injuries are rarely reported on thick parietal bone. Goal of its management include removal of the foreign object while minimizing furher damage to the brain and associated neurovascular structures, also prevent further complications.Case Description: We report a case of a 22-year-old male presented with machete stucked in his head following an accidentally fell down of the weapon from a coconut tree. The cranial location affected were midparietal. He was disoriented on admission, with neither neurological focal signs nor seizure. Computed tomography (CT) revealed that the object penetrate middle superior sagittal sinus. After emergency craniotomy to remove the objects, debridement, dural sinus repair were performed. Recovery was complete without sequelae.Conclusion: Laceration of the middle thirds of the superior sagittal sinus require special handling and care during surgery. Operative approach and treatment strategies are among the most important considerations to achieve the best patient outcomes

Abstract

Surgery still offers a cure to the majority of intramedullary tumours. The challenge of the surgery is taking out the tumour while preserving the function. Very often the patient has a huge tumour with very minimal symptoms, such as mild numbness. The slow growth of the tumour nature provides enough time for the cord fibres to adapt accordingly. Usually, the motor function is preserved and most of the pathologies are benign. For this reasons, the majority of cases have good long-term tumour control. The functional outcome is depending on the preoperative functional state, especially for motor function. The patient should be educated prior to surgery, especially to anticipate the post-surgical rehabilitation period. The surgical technique should preserve the motor function, but the fine movement usually gets worst for several months after surgery and slowly recover within 6 months. We share our experience of 45 surgical cases with intramedullary tumour (14F;31M), the pathologies distributions are 20 ependymomas, 8 astrocytomas (1/8 anaplastic astrocytoma), 7 cavernomas, 8 hemangioblastomas, 1 glioblastoma multiforme, and 1 tuberculoma. The location distribution varied from 27 at the cervical cord, 11 thoracal, 4 thoracolumbal, and 3 MO-upper cervical. The surgical outcome for all cases experienced sensory changes and recovered over 6 months. Almost all cases experienced some degree of spasticity and fine movement difficulty and they are improving over 6 months. Motor strength is usually preserved. One case of GBM, improve gradually for the first two months then followed by the disease course regardless of the treatment. The tuberculoma case required one year to recover her neurological function with adequate treatment.
