Abstract

Background/purpose

IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis (IgG4-SC) is one of several diseases associated with autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP). However, diffuse cholangraphic abnormalities seen in association with AIP may resemble those seen in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and the presence of segmental stenosis suggests cholangiocarcinoma. IgG4-SC responds well to steroid therapy, whereas in contrast, liver transplantation is the only effective therapy for PSC, and surgical intervention is also needed for cholangiocarcinoma. The aim of this review was to establish the diagnostic procedures for IgG4-SC.

Methods

A literature search was conducted, covering English-language articles dealing with IgG4-SC published between 1991 and March 2010. As clinical data on IgG4-SC are limited, the author also took into consideration his own clinical experience with the treatment of IgG4-SC over a period of more than 19 years.

Results

When intrapancreatic stenosis is detected, pancreatic cancer should be ruled out. If multiple intrahepatic stenosis is evident, PSC should be discriminated on the basis of cholangiographic findings and liver biopsy with IgG4 immunostaining. An association with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is suggestive of PSC. If stenosis is demonstrated in the hepatic hilar region, cholangiocarcinoma should be discriminated by US, EUS, IDUS, and bile duct biopsy.

Conclusion

For diagnosis of IgG4-SC, coexistence of AIP is the most useful finding. However, the most important consideration for clinicians is to be aware of IgG4-SC when encountering patients with obstructive jaundice.

Echinokokkose medikamentös behandeln oder operieren?

06.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Die Therapie von Echinokokkosen sollte immer in spezialisierten Zentren erfolgen. Eine symptomlose Echinokokkose kann – egal ob von Hunde- oder Fuchsbandwurm ausgelöst – konservativ erfolgen. Wenn eine Op. nötig ist, kann es sinnvoll sein, vorher Zysten zu leeren und zu desinfizieren. 

Wie sieht der OP der Zukunft aus?

04.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Der OP in der Zukunft wird mit weniger Personal auskommen – nicht, weil die Technik das medizinische Fachpersonal verdrängt, sondern weil der Personalmangel es nötig macht.

Umsetzung der POMGAT-Leitlinie läuft

03.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Seit November 2023 gibt es evidenzbasierte Empfehlungen zum perioperativen Management bei gastrointestinalen Tumoren (POMGAT) auf S3-Niveau. Vieles wird schon entsprechend der Empfehlungen durchgeführt. Wo es im Alltag noch hapert, zeigt eine Umfrage in einem Klinikverbund.

Recycling im OP – möglich, aber teuer

Auch wenn sich Krankenhäuser nachhaltig und grün geben – sie tragen aktuell erheblich zu den CO2-Emissionen bei und produzieren jede Menge Müll. Ein Pilotprojekt aus Bonn zeigt, dass viele Op.-Abfälle wiederverwertet werden können.

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.
