Abstract

The term Chiari I malformation (CIM) is imbedded in the paediatric neurosurgical lexicon; however, the diagnostic criteria for this entity are imprecise, its pathophysiology variable, and the treatment options diverse. Until recently, CIM has been considered to be a discrete congenital malformation requiring a uniform approach to treatment. Increasingly, it is recognised that this is an oversimplification and that a more critical, etiologically based approach to the evaluation of children with this diagnosis is essential, not only to select those children who might be suitable for surgical treatment (and, of course those who might be better served by conservative management) but also to determine the most appropriate surgical strategy. Whilst good outcomes can be anticipated in the majority of children with CIM following foramen magnum decompression, treatment failures and complication rates are not insignificant. Arguably, poor or suboptimal outcomes following treatment for CIM reflect, not only a failure of surgical technique, but incorrect patient selection and failure to acknowledge the diverse pathophysiology underlying the phenomenon of CIM. The investigation of the child with ‘hindbrain herniation’ should be aimed at better understanding the mechanisms underlying the herniation so that these may be addressed by an appropriate choice of treatment.

Wie erfolgreich ist eine Re-Ablation nach Rezidiv?

23.04.2024 Ablationstherapie Nachrichten

Nach der Katheterablation von Vorhofflimmern kommt es bei etwa einem Drittel der Patienten zu Rezidiven, meist binnen eines Jahres. Wie sich spätere Rückfälle auf die Erfolgschancen einer erneuten Ablation auswirken, haben Schweizer Kardiologen erforscht.

Schmerzen im Unterbauch, aber sonst nicht viel, was auf eine Appendizitis hindeutete: Ein junger Mann hatte Glück, dass trotzdem eine Laparoskopie mit Appendektomie durchgeführt und der Wurmfortsatz histologisch untersucht wurde.

Mehr Schaden als Nutzen durch präoperatives Aussetzen von GLP-1-Agonisten?

Derzeit wird empfohlen, eine Therapie mit GLP-1-Rezeptoragonisten präoperativ zu unterbrechen. Eine neue Studie nährt jedoch Zweifel an der Notwendigkeit der Maßnahme.

Ureterstriktur: Innovative OP-Technik bewährt sich

19.04.2024 EAU 2024 Kongressbericht

Die Ureterstriktur ist eine relativ seltene Komplikation, trotzdem bedarf sie einer differenzierten Versorgung. In komplexen Fällen wird dies durch die roboterassistierte OP-Technik gewährleistet. Erste Resultate ermutigen.

CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
