Abstract

Objectives

In the past 50 years, pediatric neurosurgery has made tremendous strides, and gained its own identity as a distinct subspecialty. I have personally observed this progress and evolution in pediatric neurosurgery in multiple dimensions, which are described based upon my own experience and reflection.

Methods

The development and evolutions of multiple domains of pediatric neurosurgery, including neuroimaging, hydrocephalus, pediatric brain tumor, spinal dysraphism, craniosynostosis, vascular malformation, functional neurosurgery and spinal disorders were reviewed and commented on based upon my own experience and reflection.

Results

The field of pediatric neurosurgery has grown in all aspects of diagnosis and therapy owing to the introduction of computers, innovative techniques and technologies and new discoveries of scientific data including molecular investigations.

Conclusion

A minimally invasive approach and molecular target therapy are a current trend. The past half century’s clinical experience and advances in biomedical knowledge and techniques provide foundation for further improvement in the care of children of the next generation. Prospective artificial intelligence will likely promote further advances in pediatric neurosurgery.

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.
