Abstract

Purpose

The primary purpose of this study was to develop and implement a novel Hemispheric Surgical Score to guide the treatment of pediatric patients with Moyamoya disease (MMD). Additionally, we aimed to describe a comprehensive flowchart for the evaluation, treatment, and follow-up of these patients and to share our experience with the interdisciplinary management of a large pediatric cohort at a referral pediatric hospital.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective observational study using medical records of patients diagnosed with MMD at the Pediatric Hospital “Prof. Dr. Juan P. Garrahan” in Buenos Aires, Argentina, from July 2013 to July 2023. From July 2016 onward, data were analyzed prospectively following the implementation of the Hemispheric Surgical Score and the flowchart. Evaluations included clinical, MRI, and angiographic criteria, and patients were managed by an interdisciplinary team. Demographic, clinical, and neuroimaging data were collected and analyzed.

Results

Eighty hemispheres from 40 patients were analyzed, with cerebral revascularization performed on 72 hemispheres from 37 patients. The Hemispheric Surgical Score and flowchart standardized treatment decisions, and reduced the need for invasive studies like angiographies for follow-up. The majority of patients (79.1%) had favorable outcomes, with complete disease progression arrest and no worsening of imaging nor clinical scores during a median follow-up of 35.8 months.

Conclusion

The Hemispheric Surgical Score and the comprehensive flowchart have improved the management of MMD in pediatric patients by standardizing treatment and reducing unnecessary invasive procedures. This interdisciplinary approach has led to better patient outcomes, highlighting the need for further validation in larger studies and comparisons of different revascularization techniques through randomized clinical trials.

Verbände und Cremes gegen Dekubitus: „Wir wissen nicht, was sie bringen!“

Die Datenlage zur Wirksamkeit von Verbänden oder topischen Mitteln zur Prävention von Druckgeschwüren sei schlecht, so die Verfasser einer aktuellen Cochrane-Studie. Letztlich bleibe es unsicher, ob solche Maßnahmen den Betroffenen nutzen oder schaden.

Nackenschmerzen nach Bandscheibenvorfall: Muskeltraining hilft!

Bei hartnäckigen Schmerzen aufgrund einer zervikalen Radikulopathie schlägt ein Team der Universität Istanbul vor, lokale Steroidinjektionen mit einem speziellen Trainingsprogramm zur Stabilisierung der Nackenmuskulatur zu kombinieren.

US-Team empfiehlt Gastropexie nach Hiatushernien-Op.

Zur Vermeidung von Rezidiven nach Reparatur einer paraösophagealen Hiatushernie sollte einem US-Team zufolge der Magen bei der Op. routinemäßig an der Bauchwand fixiert werden. Das Ergebnis einer randomisierten Studie scheint dafür zu sprechen.

Mit Lidocain kommt der Darm nicht schneller in Schwung

Verzögertes Wiederanspringen der Darmfunktion ist ein Hauptfaktor dafür, wenn Patientinnen und Patienten nach einer Kolonresektion länger als geplant im Krankenhaus bleiben müssen. Ob man diesem Problem mit Lidocain vorbeugen kann, war Thema einer Studie.
