Abstract

Purpose

Diffuse leptomeningeal glioneuronal tumour (DLGNT) is a rare disease classified in 2016. There are different views of the clinical, pathologic and neuroradiologic characteristics of DLGNT due to the minor studies on this disease.

Methods

We describe a case of a 12-year-old boy who initially presented intermittent headache, vomiting and communicating hydrocephalus. A literature review is also presented summarizing the clinical characteristics and treatments of DLGNT.

Results

In our case, a ventriculoperitoneal shunt was applied to reduce intracranial pressure caused by communicating hydrocephalus. T1-weighted contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed linear enhancement, and microscopy showed tumour-like spindle cells. The diagnosis of DLGNT was confirmed, and temozolomide was administered. The clinical characteristics were similar in the reported cases, while the treatments showed differences.

Conclusion

Ventriculoperitoneal shunts are effective for patients with hydrocephalus-related intracranial hypertension. Chemotherapy including temozolomide has shown varying outcomes, and further studies are expected.

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?
