ABSTRACT

Objective: to present two cases of migration retrograde catheter. Description: two children with a history of hydrocephalus treated with DVP, which were presented to the outpatient clinic with symptoms of valvular dysfunction and palpable tumor at occipital level and another at the neck. Intervention: we performed scanning and repositioning of the distal catheter in the peritoneum. Conclusion: the diagnosis was achieved by probing the integrity of the drainage system and confirmed by radiographs of the shunt system.

ABSTRACT

Objective: to analyze two pediatric cases of ventriculo-gallblader shuntMaterial and method: two patients, one being five days old and the other 14 months old, presented a hydrocephalus. Due to different reasons, both were unable to receive a classical ventriculo-peritoneal shunt, neither a ventriculo-atrial shunt. Both received a ventriculo-gallblader shunt, being a pediatric surgeon part of the surgical team. Results: three years after the procedure, no signs of hydrocephaly were observed. Conclusion: ventriculo-gallblader shunt is a valid option for hydrocephalus treatment when other options are contraindicated.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Describir los resultados obtenidos con el mapeo cortical intraoperatorio en el tratamiento de los tumores rolándicos. Método. El estudio se realizó en 27 pacientes (mayo 2000 - mayo 2005) entre 27 y 78 años (16M-11F) con tumores intracraneanos ubicados en el área central. En todos los casos se efectuaron técnicas de localización funcional y se utilizaron potenciales evocados somatosensitivos intraoperatorios y estimulación cortical bipolar. Resultados. La resección fue total en 24 casos y subtotal en 3 casos. En los 23 pacientes que presentaban algún déficit motor previo a la cirugía se logró la mejoría en 17 de ellos, permaneciendo estables 5 y sólo 1 caso padeció un empeoramiento transitorio. Ningún paciente sin déficit previo lo padeció después. No se registraron complicaciones relacionadas con el procedimiento de localización. Conclusión. El mapeo cortical intraoperatorio es una técnica segura y confiable para la preservación de la corteza elocuente en la cirugía de tumores del área rolándica.


Objective: To describe the results obtained with intraoperative cortical mapping in the surgical treatment of rolandic tumors. Method: We studied 27 patients (may 2000-may 2005) between 27 and 78 years old (16 males-11 females) with intracranial tumors located in the rolandic area. In all cases we used techniques of functional localization and, intraoperative somatosensorial evoked potentials and bipolar cortical stimulation. Results: In 24 cases removal was total and in 3 cases was subtotal. Of the 23 cases with preoperative motor symptoms, postoperatively 17 were improved, 5 remained stable and 1 deteriorated transiently. No patient without preoperative deficits was worst. We did not have complications related to the localization procedure. Conclusion: Intraoperative cortical mapping is a safe and sound technique for the preservation of the eloquent cortex during surgery of rolandic tumors.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Describir un caso de quiste enterogeno intraespinal pigmentado. Descripcion del caso: un paciente de sexo masculino y 7 años de edad ingresa con torticolis derecha 15 dias despues de un trauma. En el examen se detecta una parapesia con paresia braquial derecha. La IRM mostro una lesion quistica intradural, extramedular, hiperintensa en T1 y T2, sin refuerzo con gadolinio, ubicada entre C1 y C3. Intervencion: se efectua un abordaje posterior, extirpandose totalmente una lesion quistica. Anatomia patologica demostro que era un quiste enterogeno pigmentado. Resultado: luego de la cirugia mejoro el cuadro neurologico y la IRM de control solo mostro una cavidad siringomielica residual
