Abstract

Objective

This article describes the clinical aspects for both operated and non-operated patients with a cloverleaf skull deformity treated in our service, focusing on hydrocephalus.

Methods

We describe 13 cases of cloverleaf skull deformity treated in our services between 1977 and 2008. Among them, ten were operated (9 out of 13 for the craniofacial stenosis and 7 out of 13 for hydrocephalus).

Results

Hydrocephalus was present in all patients with bilateral lambdoid stenosis. There was no case of hydrocephalus among the patients with unilateral or absent lambdoid stenosis. Associated malformations and severe faciostenosis were associated with higher mortality and morbidity.

Conclusion

The development of hydrocephalus seems to be closely related to a bilateral lambdoid stenosis. The optimal treatment must be tailored individually considering the degree of the malformation and the presence of complications and comorbidities.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
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.

S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“

Radiusfraktur BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Webinar beschäftigt sich mit Fragen und Antworten zu Diagnostik und Klassifikation sowie Möglichkeiten des Ausschlusses von Zusatzverletzungen. Die Referenten erläutern, welche Frakturen konservativ behandelt werden können und wie. Das Webinar beantwortet die Frage nach aktuellen operativen Therapiekonzepten: Welcher Zugang, welches Osteosynthesematerial? Auf was muss bei der Nachbehandlung der distalen Radiusfraktur geachtet werden?
