Auszug

A 10-day-old female neonate presented with lower abdominal mass and weakness in the both lower limbs. Clinically, flanks were full with palpable lump in the left side. There was flaccid paralysis in both lower limbs with bladder and bowel incontinence. Ultrasonography (USG) of the whole abdomen showed bilateral hypoechoic mass in the psoas region. Contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) of the abdomen showed a lobulated, enhancing mass of 41 × 30 × 26 mm in the upper pole of left kidney with patchy calcification in the left psoas region and the specks of calcifications extended to the spinal canal at D 10 to L 1 level. The features were suggestive of congenital neuroblastoma (NB) with intraspinal extension (Fig. 1). Blood hemogram and urea creatinine were normal, but 24-h urinary vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) level was raised (118.3 mg/g creatinine). USG-guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of the mass revealed small round cell tumor with scanty cytoplasm. After discussion with neurosurgeon and oncologist, four cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) were administered. The baby tolerated chemotherapy well and tumor mass was gradually reduced. After four cycles of chemotherapy, the mass was completely abolished while neurological symptoms were not. We referred the neonate to neurosurgery department for further opinion and possible surgical intervention. Unfortunately, the baby did not return back for further treatment.

Neu im Fachgebiet Chirurgie

Nach Vollremission bei Ösophagus-Ca. – Operation erstmal aussetzen?

Studienziel erreicht, dennoch viele Fragen offen. So lassen sich die Ergebnisse der SANO-Studie zur Active-Surveillance versus sofortigen Ösophagektomie nach neoadjuvanter Komplettremission zusammenfassen. Interessant sind die Daten so oder so.

Nicht weniger Infektionen unter Vakuumversiegelungstherapie

Nach Ergebnissen der britisch-australischen SUNRISE-Studie scheint eine Unterdruck-Wundtherapie Infektionen bei abdominell Notoperierten nicht besser verhindern zu können als eine herkömmliche Wundversorgung.

Vergessene OP-Unterlage erst zwei Monate postoperativ entdeckt

Es sollte nie passieren, passiert aber doch: chirurgisches Material, das unbemerkt im Körper verbleibt. Im vorliegenden Fall wurde der Fremdkörper trotz seiner Größe erst nach zwei Monaten entdeckt – nachdem der Patient fast daran gestorben wäre.

Nur selten ernste Komplikationen bei endoskopischer Sinuschirurgie

Etwa 3% der Menschen mit einer endoskopischen Nasennebenhöhlenoperation entwickeln ausgeprägtes Nasenbluten. Andere Komplikationen, wie Verletzungen des Nervus opticus oder eine Meningitis, treten nur äußerst selten auf, legt eine Registeranalyse nahe.
