Abstract

Microvascular decompression represents an effective treatment for hemifacial spasm. The use of lateral spread response (LSR) monitoring remains a useful intraoperative tool to ensure adequate decompression of the facial nerve. The aim of this study was to assess the value of LSRs intraoperative monitoring as a prognostic indicator for the outcome of microvascular decompression in hemifacial spasm. Our study included 100 patients prospectively. The patients were classified into four groups whether LSRs were totally, partially, not relieved, or not detected from the start. According to clinical outcome, the patients were classified into four groups depending on the clinical course after surgery and the residual symptoms if any. Then, correlations were made between LSR events and treatment outcome to detect its reliability as a prognostic indicator. LSRs were relieved totally in 56 % of the patients, partially relieved in 14 %, not relieved in 10 %, and were not detected in 20 % of the patients from the start. HFS was relieved directly after operation in 62 % with clinical improvement of 90–100 %. Thirty-one percent described 50–90 % improvement over the next 3 months after surgery. Almost all of these 31 % (28 out of 31 patients) reported further clinical improvement of 90–100 % within 1 year after surgery. Three percent suffered from a relapse after a HFS-free period, and 4 % reported minimal or no improvement describing 0–50 % of the preoperative state. The percentage of the satisfied patients with the clinical outcome who reported after 1 year a clinical improvement of 90–100 % was 90 %. Statistical analysis did not find a significant correlation between the relief of LSRs and clinical outcome. LSRs may only represent an intraoperative tool to guide for an adequate decompression but failed to represent a reliable prognostic indicator for treatment outcome.

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.

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? Auf was muss bei der Nachbehandlung der distalen Radiusfraktur geachtet werden?
