Abstract

Background

Hypertrophic olivary degeneration (HOD) is a rare transsynaptic form of degeneration occurring after injury to the dentato-rubro-olivary pathway (“Guillain-Mollaret triangle”). The majority of studies have described HOD resulting from posterior fossa (PF) hemorrhage or infarction. HOD in patients undergoing PF surgery has not been well characterized. These lesions are rare and symptomatic children with HOD are even more uncommon. The purpose of this study was to evaluate HOD that develops after PF operations in children.

Materials and methods

A literature review was carried out describing 37 pediatric cases of HOD in 13 articles. In addition, two new cases of our own experience were included.

Conclusions

HOD is a rare complication related after PF tumors surgery and symptoms may be misdiagnosed with pediatric cerebellar mutism syndrome. Children with HOD usually do not develop palatal tremor but ataxia is common.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

CME: 2 Punkte

Prof. Dr. med. Gregor Antoniadis 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“

CME: 2 Punkte

Dr. med. Benjamin Meyknecht, PD Dr. med. Oliver Pieske Das Webinar S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“ 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?
