Abstract

Li-Fraumeni syndrome is a cancer predisposition condition associated with various tumor types. We present the case of a 6-year-old boy who initially presented with a pituitary adenoma that was successfully treated with surgery. It ultimately recurred, requiring further surgical intervention followed by proton beam therapy. He later developed a medulloblastoma, and genetic testing revealed TP53 germline mutation. The patient underwent gross total resection of this medulloblastoma, followed by proton-based craniospinal irradiation and adjuvant chemotherapy. He remained disease-free 12 months after radiation and 7 months after chemotherapy. Current literature does not report pituitary adenoma as the initial central nervous manifestation in Li-Fraumeni syndrome. Early genetic testing should be considered in pediatric patients who present with such rare tumor types to help identify cancer predisposing conditions. Furthermore, as evidenced by our case, the management of multiple brain tumors in the pediatric population poses challenges. A multidisciplinary approach involving neurosurgery, pediatric oncology, pathology, and radiation oncology remains crucial to optimize patient outcomes.

Antibiotika bei Erwachsenen mit Appendizitis oft ausreichend

Bei etwa zwei Drittel aller Erwachsenen mit akuter Appendizitis könnte eine antibiotische Behandlung ausreichen, wie eine Metaanalyse nahelegt. Die Komplikationsrate war insgesamt gering, auch wenn letztlich doch eine Op. fällig wurde.

Katheterablation bei Vorhofflimmern: Ist frühe Intervention von Vorteil?

Bei Patienten mit Vorhofflimmern scheinen die Therapieergebnisse bezüglich Rezidivfreiheit bei frühzeitiger Katheterablation besser zu sein als bei später erfolgter Ablation. Dafür sprechen Ergebnisse einer aktuellen Registeranalyse. 

Beugt Tranexamsäure schweren Blutungen auch in der Allgemeinchirurgie vor?

Ergebnisse einer Subgruppenanalyse der POISE-3-Studie sprechen dafür, dass eine Prophylaxe mit Tranexamsäure auch bei allgemeinchirurgischen Eingriffen das Risiko für schwere Blutungen senkt.

Höhere Anspannung vor der Op. führt offenbar zu besserem Ergebnis

Ein gewisses Maß an Stress zu Beginn der Op. wirkt sich möglicherweise positiv auf das Gelingen aus, so ein Team aus Boston. Die Komplikationsrate ging unter diesen Umständen signifikant zurück.
