Cervical Neuroma Presenting as a Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Case Report

1996

OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE: The association of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) with spinal lesions is well known, but hemorrhage from a cervical schwannoma is exceedingly rare. The histopathology and the mechanism of bleeding are discussed. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: We report a healthy 37-year-old man presenting with SAH after intense physical stress caused by bleeding of a cervical neuroma. INTERVENTION: A C6-T1 laminectomy disclosed an ovoid lesion, 4 cm in diameter; extremely dilated veins originated from the tumor. Removal of the spinal lesion resulted in immediate decongestion of the related venous network. The histopathological examination confirmed that the lesion was a telangiectatic schwa…

Management of intralabyrinthine schwannomas

2006

Abstract Objectives Our protocol to manage the intralabyrinthine schwannoma (ILS). Methods Retrospective chart review of 7 consecutive patients managed for ILS. Results Five patients underwent surgical removal of the lesions and none experienced significant complications or recurrent disease. One patient refused surgical treatment and was closely followed by serial MRI scans with no signs of tumor growth. One patient is presently managed conservatively due to a good hearing. Conclusions Diagnosis of ILS is based on high resolution MRI scans and should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients investigated for cochleovestibular symptoms. Treatment modality of ILS is controversial…

The INTERPHONE study: design, epidemiological methods, and description of the study population

2007

The very rapid worldwide increase in mobile phone use in the last decade has generated considerable interest in the possible health effects of exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields. A multinational case-control study, INTERPHONE, was set-up to investigate whether mobile phone use increases the risk of cancer and, more specifically, whether the RF fields emitted by mobile phones are carcinogenic. The study focused on tumours arising in the tissues most exposed to RF fields from mobile phones: glioma, meningioma, acoustic neurinoma and parotid gland tumours. In addition to a detailed history of mobile phone use, information was collected on a number of known and potential risk factors for t…

Use of Intraperitoneal ePTFE Gore Dual-Mesh Plus in a Giant Incisional Hernia After Kidney Transplantation: A Case Report

2009

We evaluated the incidence of and predisposing factors for an incisional hernia after kidney transplantation. Numerous techniques have been used to repair postoperative fascial dehiscences or simple incisional hernias, but no clear treatment exists for giant hernias. Our aim was to obtain (1) a safe procedure to repair a large abdominal defect and reinforce the surrounding, fragile zones and (2) a simple, rapid technique to reduce the operative time. Herein we have described the surgical repair of a giant incisional hernia using intraperitoneal Gore ePTFE dual-mesh plus (Gore-Tex; W. L. Gore, Flagstaff, Ariz, USA) in a 55-year-old man status-post renal transplantation. Total necrosis of dis…

A giant fetal urinoma in a neonate without detectable obstructive uropathy

2003

UNLABELLED Fetal urinoma is an uncommon finding in prenatal investigations. Most previous reports have, almost in every case, referred to the presence of an obstructive uropathy and thus to very high pressure in the upper urinary tract during fetal life. In this paper we present a prenatally detected fetal giant urinoma occurring in the absence of an apparent obstructive uropathy but associated with an ipsilateral vesico-ureteral reflux. CASE REPORT A 5-day-old boy, born after a caesarean section in the 37th week of gestation, but without any perinatal distress, came under our observation because of the evidence of a right upper quadrant abdominal mass. This mass had already been detected p…

EMORRAGIA IN TUMOR DA NEURINOMA DELL’VIII N.C. & SIMDROMI PARALITICHE ANTERIORE E POSTERIORE IMPROVVISA: SEMEIOTICA RADIOLOGICA

2011

Gli autori riportano un raro caso clinico di una paziente di 77 anni che giunge alla nostra osservazione in regime di urgenza per vertigine improvvisa associata a nausea e vomito, stato confusionale, atassia, paralisi completa del VI nervo cranico di destra con strabismo convergente, segni di sofferenza del IX, X ed XI nervo cranico omolaterali all’abducente e iniziale comparsa di segni statici e dinamici di paralisi periferica del VII nervo cranico di destra. L’insorgenza improvvisa di Sindromi paralitiche associate, anteriori e posteriori, ha indirizzato verso il sospetto di lesione occupante spazio a sede in fossa cranica posteriore/tronco encefalo richiedendo pertanto l’ausilio della di…
