ABSTRACT

Introducción. El seno dérmico cefálico es un tractotubular formado por una separación incompleta entre el ectodermo neural y el ectodermo epitelial;puede tener complicaciones infecciosas. Existen reportes aislados de esta patología. Objetivo: describir una serie de pacientescon seno dérmico craneal, las formas depresentación, el diagnóstico, el tratamiento y las complicaciones. Población y métodos. Estudio observacionaldescriptivo de una serie de pacientes pediátricos con seno dérmico cefálico atendidos en unhospital pediátrico de nivel III entre 2014 y 2019. Resultados. se incluyeron 18 pacientes. La clínicade presentación fue, en 12 casos, una lesión puntual en el cuero cabelludo, hipertensiónendocraneana en 4 casos, ataxia en 1 caso y lesión puntual con fístula en 1 caso. La mitad presentó síntomas de infección. La localización fue en la línea media sobre el hueso occipital en 13 casos, en la línea media sobre el hueso frontal en 3 casos y en la línea media interparietal en 2 casos. En 5 casos se encontró asociada una imagen extracraneana y, en 11 casos, una complicación intracraneana. Ningún paciente presentó recidiva de la lesión y en todos se realizó un solo procedimiento quirúrgico. Conclusiones. Los senos dérmicos en esta serie se presentaron como lesiones puntuales en cuerocabelludo. La localización más frecuente fue a nivel occipital sobre línea media y, en más de la mitad, atravesaba el hueso. El tratamiento de elección fue la exéresis completa del seno dérmicoy las lesiones asociadas. Ante la presencia de senos dérmicos sintomáticos o asociados alesiones intracraneanas, la cirugía se realizó de urgencia.


Introduction. A cranial dermal sinus is a tubular tract resulting from the incomplete separation of the epithelial ectoderm from the neuroectoderm which may lead to infectious complicationsThere have been isolated reports of this condition. Objective. To describe a series of patients with cranial dermal sinus, its presentation, diagnosis, management, and complications. Population and methods. Observational,descriptive study of a series of pediatric patients with cranial dermal sinus treated at a tertiary care children's hospital between 2014 and 2019. Results. A total of 18 patients were included. Theclinical presentation was a specific lesion on the scalp in 12 cases, intracranial hypertension in 4, ataxia in 1, and a specific lesion with fistula tract in 1. Half of patients had symptoms of infection. The lesion was located in the midline of the occipital bone in 13 cases; in the midline of the frontal bone in 3 cases; and in the interparietal midline in 2 cases. The dermal sinus was associated with anextracranial image in 5 cases and an intracranial complication in 11 cases. No patient hadrecurrence and only one surgery was performed in all of them. Conclusions. In this series, dermal sinusespresented as specific lesions on the scalp. The most common site was the occipital midline, and more than 50% of these extended through the bone. The treatment of choice was complete resection of dermal sinus and associated lesions. An emergency surgery was performed when the dermal sinus was symptomatic or associated with intracranial lesions.

ABSTRACT

Las disrafias espinales ocultas son patologías caracterizadas por la fusión incompleta del tubo neural, en las que la lesión se encuentra cubierta por piel y no hay exposición del tejido nervioso. El diagnóstico precoz es de gran importancia, ya que la corrección quirúrgica oportuna puede prevenir daño neurológico irreversible. Existen alteraciones cutáneas que se asocian a la presencia de disrafias espinales ocultas. Debido a que en muchos casos estos marcadores cutáneos son la única manifestación inicial de estas alteraciones, es fundamental que el pediatra esté familiarizado con ellos, para poder realizar un estudio diagnóstico y terapéutico adecuado. Dentro de los marcadores cutáneos descritos en la literatura, una combinación de dos o más alteraciones cutáneas congénitas de la línea media constituye probablemente el predictor más importante de disrafia espinal oculta. Lesiones como el lipoma de la línea media y la cola de fauno son los marcadores aislados de mayor riesgo. Actualmente las disrafias espinales ocultas cuentan con cobertura GES, por lo que todo paciente en el que se sospeche el diagnóstico, debe ser derivado a neurocirujano, quien deberá evaluarlo en un plazo máximo de tres meses.


Occult spinal dysraphism are diseases characterized by the incomplete fusion of the neural tube, where the lesion is covered by skin and there is no exposure of nerve tissue. Early diagnosis is very important, because prompt surgical correction can prevent irreversible neurological damage. There are usually skin changes associated with the presence of occult spinal dysraphism. Because in many cases these skin lesions are the only initial manifestation of the disease, it’s essential for the pediatrician to know them well, for achieving a timely and appropriate diagnosis. Among the skin markers described in the literature, a combination of two or more skin lesions of the midline is probably the best predictor of occult spinal dysraphism. Lesions such as lipoma of the midline and faun tail have the highest risk for these disorders. Occult spinal dysraphism have GES financing, so every patient in whom the diagnosis is suspected should be referred to a neurosurgeon, who will perform an evaluation within three months.

ABSTRACT

Proteus syndrome is a variable and complex disorder characterized by multifocal overgrowths affecting any tissue or structure of the body. We present a girl aged 3 years and 8 months with an epidermal nevus, port-wine stain, macrodactyly with gigantism of the feet, lymphohemagiomas and multiple lipomas.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To study incidence of spina bifida occulta in nocturnal enuresis cases and to compare outcome of enuresis with spina bifida occulta and enuresis without spina bifida occulta. METHODS: Patients with enuresis divided into two groups based on X-ray lumbosacral spine. Outcome of these patients were compared on behavioral therapy. RESULTS: Spina bifida occulta was detected in 18 out of total 48 patients. Levels of spina bifida were L5 vertebrae in 3,L5-S1 in 5,S1 in 8 and S1-S2 in 2 patients. Outcome was evaluated in 42 patients who were followed up for more than 6 months. There was no significant difference between both the groups. CONCLUSION: Spina bifida occulta is a common finding in enuresis. Outcome of patients with spina bifida occulta is not different than the patients without spina bifida occulta.

ABSTRACT

When spina bifida is associated with skin abnormalities such as dimples, sinus tracts hypertrichosis, or capillary hemangiomas, there is a high incidence of an occult intraspinal lesion such as epidermoid and dermoid tumours, lipomas, diastematomyelia, dural bands and tethered spinal cord. The present study consists of 50 patients with occult spinal dysraphism treated with the diagnosis of lipomeningomyelocoele (20), lumbosacral lipoma (15) and diastematomyelia (15). The clinical presentation varied from lipoma in the lumbosacral region, dermal sinus, cutaneous hemangioma and hypertrichosis. The age range varied from 2 months to 7 years with an average of 2 years. 40% patients had neurological deficit at the time of presentation which varied from lower limb weakness to bladder & bowel involvement. All patients underwent laminectomy of the lumbar and lumbo-sacral spine with excision of intraspinal lipoma, excision of bony or cartilaginous spur in diastematomyelia and detethering of the conus medullaris & cauda equina. No patient developed late neurological deficit.

ABSTRACT

El término disrafia espinal se refiere a un grupo de malformaciones congénitas de la columna vertebral, asociadas a falta de fusión de las estructuras embrionarias de la línea media. Existen distintos grados de intensidad de su expresión clínica, pudiendo ser evidente al nacimiento o presentarse en la forma oculta. Un gran porcentaje de pacientes tienen manifestaciones cutáneas ubicadas en la línea media, orientadoras de una patología neurológica subyacente. Se describe el caso de una paciente de sexo femenino que consultó a los 2 años de edad por una lesión ubicada en zona presacra, consistente en mácula color salmón e hipertricosis localizada desde el nacimiento. Su estudio demostró disrafia espinal y lipoma, cuya excisión quirúrgica fue oportuna, permitiendo excelente evolución y pronóstico

ABSTRACT

The authors report the case of a child with a neuroenteric cyst compressing the high cervical spinal cord at the level of C1 to C3. The tumor was completely excised through a laminotomy with good results. The literature is revised, and the embryology, symptomatology, treatment and results are discussed.
