Management of nasal septal abscess in childhood: our experience.

2004

Summary A nasal septal abscess is usually the result of an infected hematoma of the septum. A secondary septal abscess may be the result of infections extending from any of the neighbouring tissues. The necrosis of septal cartilage may lead to nasal deformities and severe impairment of nasal patency and growth. Objectives: Assess if the drainage of the abscess and the immediate reconstruction of the destroyed nasal septum in the acute phase is the best treatment to prevent short- and long-term effect on nasal and midface growth. Methods: Three pediatric patients treated with drainage and immediate implantation of homologous bank cartilage prior to 1990 and four treated with mosaic plastic u…

Spontaneous Cortical Spreading Depression and Intracranial Pressure Following Acute Subdural Hematoma in a Rat

2012

Acute subdural hemorrhage (ASDH) is a frequent and devastating consequence of traumatic brain injury. Tissue damage develops rapidly and makes treatment even more difficult. Management of increased intracranial pressure (ICP) due to extravasated blood volume and brain swelling is often insufficient to control all adverse effects of ASDH. In addition to sheer volume, spontaneously triggered cortical spreading depression (CSD) that leads to cell death following ischemia or trauma may contribute to injury development after ASDH. Therefore, we explored the occurrence of CSD by tissue impedance (IMP) measurement in a rat model subjected to ASDH. IMP and intraventricular and mean arterial pressur…

Vascular complications on arterial puncture site after coronaric and peripheral angiography

2011

Il cateterismo cardiaco, l'angiografia coronarica e periferica e le procedure interventistiche sono tecniche contrastografiche che prevedono la visualizzazione radiografica dei vasi coronarici e periferici dopo l'iniezione selettiva di mezzo di contrasto radiopaco. Si tratta di tecniche relativamente sicure, anche se esiste un certo rischio di morbilità e mortalità. Nel nostro studio abbiamo valutato le varie complicanze mettendole in relazione con fattori demografici e clinici, terapie, caratteristiche della puntura e della procedura.

Emergency Surgery ina a patient with large spontaneous epidurl hematoma determinig exellent neurological recovery: review of the literature

2014

Study Design: Case report Objectives: we report a case of a 75-year-old woman suffering voluminous idiopathic spontaneous spinal epidural hematomas (SSEH) that was rapidly diagnosed and successfully treated Methods: Clinical presentation was characterized by sudden and intense back pain that rapidly evolved into plegia of the right leg and severe paresis of the left leg. Hypoesthesia below T6 and urinary retention were also present. The MRI showed a significant posterior spinal compression from T6 through L3 caused by an epidural hematoma that involved 10 metameric levels, extending for approximately 20 cm, with a maximum thickness of 1.6 cm from T12 to L1. Results: Within 12 hours, emergen…

Radiologic and Intraoperative Finding of Intimal Tear in Type A Intramural Hematoma of the Aorta

2019

AbstractAortic intramural hematoma (IMH) is described as “dissection without intimal tear” due to rhexis of vasa vasorum, which results in bleeding within the tunica media in the absence of intimal disruption or blood flow communication. The aim of our study is to validate perioperative evidence of intimal entry tear in IMH patients and to suggest that this entity may represent a part of a disease and not a separate disease.

Evidence of intimal tear in type A intramural hematoma of the aorta: A case series

2017

Highlights • We report two cases of type A intramural hematoma of the aorta. • We found radiological and intraoperative evidence of an intimal tear. • This finding supports the hypotesis that IMH belong to “aortic dissection” disease.

Ileus Following Spontaneous Jejunum Intramural Hematoma: Case Report and Review of the Literature

2012

Anticoagulant therapy may cause the onset of a spontaneous intramural hematoma of the small bowel, in the jejunum, ileum or duodenum. A 53-year-old woman on therapy with heparin for previous pulmonary embolism was admitted for abdominal pain and vomit. Computed tomography scan visualized an intramural hematoma of the jejunum causing subtotal obstruction of the intestinal lumen. The patient underwent resection of a part of the jejunum, securing intestinal continuity by a mechanical side-to-side anastomosis. The postoperative course was regular, but the initial anticoagulant therapy was reduced to prevent recurrence. In conclusion, spontaneous hematoma of small bowel can occur as a complicati…

Hroniskas subdurālas hematomas klīnika, diagnostika, ārstēšana

2015

Tēmas aktualitāte: Hroniska subdurāla hematoma ir viena no biežākām neiroķirurģiskām patoloģijam gan Latvijā, gan visā pasaulē. Ar katru gadu subdurālās hematomas biežums pieaug. Tāpēc pētījumā mērķis noteikt hroniskas subdurālas hematomas etioloģiju, izvērtēt un izvēlēties optimālu terapijas taktiku. Pētījums atspoguļos patreizējo epidemioloģisko situāciju pacientiem ar hronisko subdurālo hematomu, kā arī dos ieskatu par hroniskas subdurālas hematomas etioloģiju, ļaus salīdzināt un noteikt medikamentozās, un ķirurģiskās ārstēšanas efektivitāti. Materiāli un metodes: Pētījumā tika iekļauti cilvēki, kas stacionēti Paula Stradiņa klinīskā universitātes slimnīcā pēdējo 5 gadu laikā. Dati ievāk…

Emergency surgery in a patient with large spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma determining excellent neurological recovery: Review of the literature

2014

Study design: Case report. Objectives: We report a case of a 75-year-old woman suffering from voluminous idiopathic spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) that was rapidly diagnosed and successfully treated. Methods: Clinical presentation was characterized by sudden and intense back pain that rapidly evolved into plegia of the right leg and severe paresis of the left leg. Hypoesthesia below T6 and urinary retention were also present. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a significant posterior spinal compression from T6 through L3 caused by an epidural hematoma that involved 10 metameric levels, extending for ∼20 cm, with a maximum thickness of 1.6 cm from T12 to L1. Results: Within 12 h,…
