ABSTRACT
The 2 patients were both aged females with medical history of diabetes mellitus. The chief complaints were both hyperpyrexia. Laboratory tests presented markedly elevated white blood cells and C-reactive protein, indicating severe systemic infections. Urine culture confirmed the growth of Escherichia coli. CT scan revealed thickened bladder wall with intraluminal and interstitial collections of gas. After the diagnosis of emphysema cystitis was established, conservative treatments including bladder drainage, strict glycemic control and sensitive antibiotics were administered timely. Both of the 2 patients got fully recovery after standard treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective To summarize the experience of emergency microsurgery under the guidance of computed tomographic arteriography (CTA) for treatment of Hunt-Hess high grade intracranial aneurysm rupture.Methods The clinical data of 34 patients with Hunt-Hess high grade intracranial aneurysm rupture were retrospectively analyzed.The CT and CTA were detected in the patients on admission.Emergency operation were all performed.The temporal occlusion of the parent artery,removed intracranial hematoma and clipping intracranial aneurysms by microsurgical techniques.All patients were removed skull.Results The prognosis was assessed by Glasgow outcome score (GOS),17 cases were recovered well,10 cases were mildly disabled,3 cases were severely disabled and 4 cases died.Conclusions CTA can be used as the primary diagnosis of intracranial aneurysm imaging methods under the emergency condition.The patients with HuntHess high grade intracranial aneurysm rupture should make positive surgical treatment to save live.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the surgical treatment and defect repair of the former skull base comminuted fracture.MethodsClinical data of 47 patients were retrospectively analyzed and emergency treatment,surgical debridement and defect repair were discussed consulting the literature..Results Restore score was determined according to international standards after surgical treatment for 3 months,in all cases,36 cases restored good,6 cases with light disability,3 cases with severe disability,2 cases died.Subsequent following-up revealed 31 cases completely recovered for normal work and life,14 patients survived in varying degrees of neurological function obstacles without encephalomeningocele.Conclusion The successful surgery is determined by thorough debridement,closing the damaged local subarachnoid,repairing reconstruct former dural skull base and defective bones.
