Abstract

Introduction

Successful localization is mandatory for focused parathyroidectomy. If ultrasound and sestamibi scan are negative, bilateral neck exploration is necessary. We examined the contribution of complementary computed tomography (CT) scan to identify the affected parathyroid gland.

Methods

Between November 1999 and April 2014, 25 patients (20 females and 5 males; mean age 67 ± 11 years) with negative or dubious standard imaging (ultrasound and sestamibi scan) underwent CT scan prior to parathyroidectomy and were included in this study. Fifteen patients had had previous neck surgery for parathyroidectomy (n = 11) or thyroidectomy (n = 4). Thin-slice CT (n = 9) or four-dimensional (4D) CT imaging (n = 16) was used. Cure was defined as >50 % post-excision fall of intraoperatively measured parathyroid hormone or fall into the normal range, confirmed by normocalcaemia at least 6 months after surgery.

Results

Preoperative CT scan provided correct localization in 13 out of 25 patients (52 %) and was false positive once. Parathyroidectomy was performed by a focused approach in 11 of these 13 patients as well as in 1 patient guided by intraoperatively measured parathyroid hormone (ioPTH). Thirteen patients required bilateral neck exploration. The cure rate was 96 % (24/25 patients). One patient has persistent primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) and one a recurrent disease. Six patients presented a multiglandular disease.

Conclusion

A CT scan identifies about half of abnormal parathyroid glands missed by conventional imaging and allows focused surgery in selected cases.

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?
