Abstract

Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is a rare genetic disorder predisposing to multiple benign tumors of the nervous system. Meningiomas occur in about half of NF2 patients, and are often multiple. Patients harboring seemingly isolated multiple meningiomas should be investigated to diagnose NF2 by careful familial history collection, detailed clinical examination (skin lesions and slit lamp examination of the lens), audiovestibular testing, and fine cranio-spinal Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Somatic mosaicism is frequent in NF2 and may explain a mild phenotype as, e.g. isolated multiple meningiomas. Neurofibromatosis type 1 is not associated with an increased risk of meningioma. Whether meningiomas are part of the schwannomatosis tumor phenotype or not remains debated. Meningiomas in NF2 patients are associated with a higher risk of mortality, and their treatment is challenging, but data about natural history of meningiomas in NF2 patients in the literature are sparse. Thus, knowledge of tumor behavior is essential in slow growing tumors like meningiomas, to balance the risk of treatment against the natural history of the disease, and to evaluate the efficiency of alternative therapeutics (radiation therapy or new drugs).

Sozialer Aufstieg verringert Demenzgefahr

24.05.2024 Demenz Nachrichten

Ein hohes soziales Niveau ist mit die beste Versicherung gegen eine Demenz. Noch geringer ist das Demenzrisiko für Menschen, die sozial aufsteigen: Sie gewinnen fast zwei demenzfreie Lebensjahre. Umgekehrt steigt die Demenzgefahr beim sozialen Abstieg.

Hirnblutung unter DOAK und VKA ähnlich bedrohlich

17.05.2024 Direkte orale Antikoagulanzien Nachrichten

Kommt es zu einer nichttraumatischen Hirnblutung, spielt es keine große Rolle, ob die Betroffenen zuvor direkt wirksame orale Antikoagulanzien oder Marcumar bekommen haben: Die Prognose ist ähnlich schlecht.

Was nützt die Kraniektomie bei schwerer tiefer Hirnblutung?

17.05.2024 Hirnblutung Nachrichten

Eine Studie zum Nutzen der druckentlastenden Kraniektomie nach schwerer tiefer supratentorieller Hirnblutung deutet einen Nutzen der Operation an. Für überlebende Patienten ist das dennoch nur eine bedingt gute Nachricht.

Thrombektomie auch bei großen Infarkten von Vorteil

16.05.2024 Ischämischer Schlaganfall Nachrichten

Auch ein sehr ausgedehnter ischämischer Schlaganfall scheint an sich kein Grund zu sein, von einer mechanischen Thrombektomie abzusehen. Dafür spricht die LASTE-Studie, an der Patienten und Patientinnen mit einem ASPECTS von maximal 5 beteiligt waren.
