Abstract

Introduction

The decision-making process when we compare endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) with shunts as surgical options for the treatment of hydrocephalus in infants is conditioned by the incidence of specific and shared complications of the two surgical procedures.

Review

Our literature review shows that the advantages of ETV in terms of complications are almost all related to two factors: (a) the avoidance of a foreign body implantation and (b) the establishment of a ‘physiological’ cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation. Both these kinds of achievements are particularly important in infants because of the relative high rate of some intraoperative (i.e. abdominal) and late (secondary craniosynostosis, slit-ventricle syndrome) shunt complications in this specific subset of patients. On the other side, the main factor which is claimed against ETV is the relatively high risk of immediate mortality and neurological complications. Clinical manifestations of neurological structure damage seem to be more frequent in infants, probably due to the more relevant effect of parenchymal and vascular damage in this age group; however, both the immediate mortality and neurological damage risk of ETV procedures should be weighted against the long-term mortality and the late neurological damage which is not infrequently described as a consequence of shunt malfunction and proximal shunt revision procedures. Infections are possible in both ETV and extrathecal CSF procedures, especially in infants. However, the incidence of infective complications is significantly lower in case of ETV (1–5% vs 1–20%). Moreover, different from shunting procedures, infections in children with third ventriculostomy have a more benign course, being generally controlled by antibiotic treatment alone.

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?
