RESUMEN

ABSTRACT Introduction: The aim of our study is to compare the early and mid-term outcomes of patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy who underwent classic and modified Morrow septal myectomy. Methods: Between 2014 and 2019, 48 patients (24 males; mean age 49.27±16.41 years) who underwent septal myectomy were evaluated. The patients were divided into two groups - those who underwent classic septal myectomy (n=28) and those who underwent modified septal myectomy (n=20). Results: Mitral valve intervention was higher in the classic Morrow group than in the modified Morrow group, but there was no significant difference (P=0.42). Mortality was found to be lower in the modified Morrow group than in the classic Morrow group (P=0.01). In both groups, the mean immediate postoperative gradient was significantly higher than the mean of the 3rd and 12th postoperative months. The preoperative and postoperative gradient difference of the modified Morrow group was significantly higher than of the classic Morrow group (P<0.001). Conclusion: Classic Morrow and modified Morrow procedures are effective methods for reducing left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. The modified Morrow procedure was found to be superior to the classic Morrow procedure in terms of reducing the incidence of mitral valve intervention with the reduction of the left ventricular outflow tract gradient.

RESUMEN

Fundamento: Dos de las tres formas en que se presentan los quistes intracraneales de la línea media anterior son: cavum septum pellucidum y cavum vergae; estos normalmente desaparecen después del nacimiento, de persistir suelen ser asintomáticos, pero también pueden estar asociados a manifestaciones obstructivas, trastornos psicóticos o alteraciones del neurodesarrollo que demandan de un seguimiento clínico. Objetivo: Reportar el caso de un paciente de 6 meses con persistencia de estructuras del periodo embrionario en posible asociación con retraso del desarrollo psicomotor. Presentación de caso: Por lo infrecuente que resulta en la práctica, se informa el caso de un paciente de 6 meses con una persistencia del cavum septum pellucidum y cavum vergae en el que se destaca la posible asociación del retraso del neurodesarrollo a la persistencia de estas estructuras. El diagnóstico se realizó de forma precoz y se intervino oportunamente. Conclusiones: La presentación del caso aportó evidencias epidemiológicas que favorecen la posible asociación entre la persistencia de estas estructuras embrionarias y el retraso del desarrollo psicomotor.


Background: Two out of the three forms in which intracranial anterior midline cysts present are: These usually disappear after birth; if they persist, they are often asymptomatic, but may also be associated with obstructive manifestations, psychotic disorders or neurodevelopmental disorders that require clinical follow up. Objective: To report a case of a 6-month-old patient with persistence of embryonic period structures in possible association with psychomotor developmental retardation. Case presentation: Because of how infrequent it is in practice, a case of a 6-month-old patient with a persistent cavum septum pellucidum and cavum vergae is reported in which the possible association of neurodevelopmental delay with the persistence of these structures is pointed out. The diagnosis was made in an early manner and it was timely intervened. Conclusions: The case presentation provided epidemiological evidences that encourage the possible association among the persistence of these embryonic structures and psychomotor developmental retardation.

RESUMEN

Objetivo: Reportar el resultado a largo plazo de una serie de fetos con agenesia del septum pellucidum aislada (ASP), con medición de su quiasma óptico mediante neurosonografía fetal (NSG). Método: Se incluyeron todas las pacientes con ASP y NSG evaluadas desde el año 2008 a la fecha y con seguimiento hasta su edad escolar. En todos los casos se consignaron los datos clínicos de NSG y de resonancia magnética (RM), cuando esta se realizó. Se entrevistó telefónicamente a los padres. Resultados: Nueve pacientes cumplieron los criterios: cuatro con displasia septo-óptica (DSO) (rango de seguimiento: 5-14 años) y cinco sin DSO (rango de seguimiento: 7-10 años). Un décimo caso se excluyó por tener solo 6 meses de seguimiento. Ninguna de las ASP tuvo otra anomalía detectada en su seguimiento. Ninguno de los casos con DSO tuvo alteración del tamaño de su quiasma óptico en la NSG ni anormalidad en la vía óptica en la RM. Conclusiones: En nuestra población, el riesgo residual de DSO frente a ASP es del 44,4%. En el seguimiento, nuestra definición de ASP por NSG no tuvo falsos negativos con relación a otras anomalías de aparición posnatal, a excepción de la DSO.


Objective: To report the long-term outcome of a series of fetuses with isolated septum pellucidum agenesis (ASP) with measurement of their optic chiasm by fetal neurosonography (NSG). Method: All patients with ASP and NSG evaluated from 2008 to date and with follow-up until their school age were included. In all cases, clinical, NSG and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data were recorded. Parents were interviewed by telephone. Results: Nine patients met the criteria: four with septo-optic dysplasia (SOD) (follow-up range: 5-14 years) and five without SOD (follow-up range: 7-10 years). A tenth case was excluded because only 6 months of follow-up. None of the ASP cases had another anomaly detected in their follow-up. None of the cases with DSO had anomaly of the size of their optic chiasm on NSG or abnormality in the optical pathway in the MRI. Conclusions: In our population, the residual risk of DSO versus ASP is 44.4%. At follow-up, our NSG definition of ASP had no false negatives in relation to other postnatal-onset anomalies, except for SOD.

RESUMEN

Abstract Introduction Septorhinoplasty operates on the nose's bone and cartilage and is ensued by severe postoperative pain. Objective The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of preoperative administration of intravenous (IV) paracetamol and ibuprofen on postoperative pain scores in patients undergoing septorhinoplasty. Methods A total of 150 patients undergoing septorhinoplasty were randomly assigned into 3 groups with 50 patients in each group. The control group (group A) was administered 100 ml saline solution; the paracetamol group (group B) was administered 1,000 mg of IV paracetamol in 100 ml of saline solution; and the ibuprofen group (group C) was administered 800 mg of IV ibuprofen in 100 ml of saline solution before surgery. Opioid analgesics were employed to achieve postoperative analgesia. Postoperative pain was evaluated using the visual analogue scale (VAS). Postoperative opioid consumption and adverse effects were also recorded for each patient. Results In comparison with group A, the score in the VAS of groups B and C was statistically lower in all the time intervals (p < 0.05). In the 1st and 6th hours postoperatively, group C's score in the VAS in was lower than that of group B (p < 0.05). In the control group, total opioid consumption was highest in all time intervals (p < 0.05). In group C, total opioid consumption was significantly lower than in group B in the 0 to 6 and 6 to 12 hours intervals. (p < 0.05). Conclusion The single-dose preemptive administration of ibuprofen has a more profound postoperative analgesic effect than paracetamol in the first 6 hours after septorhinoplasty. After the first 6 hours postsurgery, there is no difference between ibuprofen and paracetamol in terms of analgesic effect.

RESUMEN

Las malformaciones müllerianas (MM) son un grupo de anomalías estructurales originadas por fallas de desarrollo de los conductos paramesonéfricos o de Müller durante las primeras 16 semanas de gestación. Un oportuno diagnóstico y una correcta clasificación permiten ofrecer el mejor manejo y diferenciar aquellas pacientes que requieren tratamiento quirúrgico. Se realizó una revisión de la literatura sobre MM en las bases de datos Epistemonikos, SciELO, Cochrane y PubMed. Se rescataron todas las pacientes ingresadas con diagnóstico de MM. En el año 2021, la American Society of Reproductive Medicine publicó un consenso en el que se estandarizó la nomenclatura, se amplió el espectro y se simplificó la clasificación. La clínica es variada, e incluye pacientes asintomáticas cuyo diagnóstico es un hallazgo por imágenes. Los mejores estudios imagenológicos son la resonancia magnética (RM) y la ultrasonografía 3D, dejando la histeroscopia y la laparoscopia (método de referencia) como procedimiento diagnóstico-terapéutico. Se presentan casos clínicos desarrollados durante el primer trimestre de 2022. Recomendamos la utilización sistemática de la RM para el diagnóstico de anomalías complejas u obstructivas del aparato genital. El tratamiento de estas patologías debe ser realizado por ginecólogos endoscopistas expertos, e incluye tratamiento médico y quirúrgico, el cual debe ser enfocado en cada paciente dependiendo del tipo de MM y de los deseos de fertilidad.


Müllerian malformations (MM) are a group of structural anomalies caused by developmental failure of the paramesonephric or Müllerian ducts during the first 16 weeks of gestation. Timely diagnosis and classification allow us to offer the best management and to differentiate those patients who require surgical treatment. Literature review on MM in Epistemonikos, SciELO, Cochrane and PubMed databases. All patients admitted with a diagnosis of MM were rescued. In 2021, the American Society of Reproductive Medicine publishes a consensus where it standardizes the nomenclature, broadens the spectrum, and simplifies the classification. The clinical picture is varied and includes asymptomatic patients whose diagnosis is an imaging finding. The best imaging studies are magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 3D ultrasonography, leaving hysteroscopy and laparoscopy (gold standard) as diagnostic therapeutic. Clinical cases developed during the first trimester 2022 are presented. We recommend the routine use of MRI for the diagnosis of complex and/or obstructive anomalies of the genital tract. The treatment of these pathologies should be performed by expert endoscopic gynecologists and include medical and surgical treatment, which should be focused on each patient, depending on the type of MM and fertility desires.

RESUMEN

Abstract Introduction Septoplasty and turbinoplasty are common surgical interventions used to relieve nasal obstructive symptoms. Since it is difficult to measure the degree of nasal blockage, current literature wonders about the frequent performance of these procedures. Objective To evaluate the perceived change in the nasal obstruction and the quality of life (QoL) of patients that underwent a septoplasty along with a turbinoplasty by applying subjective scales, to describe the correlation between those scales, and to study the impact of clinical factors in the postoperative outcomes. Methods Prospective observational study. The Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE), the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and the Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) were assessed. The paired sample Wilcoxon test was used to evaluate the difference between the pre- and postoperative surveys. The correlation coefficient between the subjective scales was calculated. A quantile regression was performed to evaluate the effect of surgery on the results adjusted for clinical and demographic variables. Results A total of 115 patients were interviewed. Postoperative NOSE scores were 45 points lower (95% confidence interval [CI]: - 53.53-- 35.46; p < 0.001) in comparison with the NOSE preoperative scores. Obesity was the only statistically significant factor associated with worse outcomes. Additionally, we found a high correlation between the NOSE and VAS scores and a negative correlation between the GBI and postoperative VAS scores. Conclusion Nasal septoplasty, when paired with a turbinoplasty, decreases nasal obstruction and improves QoL. Obesity was associated with worse results. There was a strong correlation between the NOSE and the VAS results and between the GBI and postoperative VAS results.

RESUMEN

Abstract Introduction The morphological variants of the nasal septum have been implicated in sinus pathology and pose a challenge during endoscopic surgeries. Objectives The present study aimed at evaluating the prevalence of nasal septum variants in adult Nigerians. Methods The present study was performed at the Radiology Department of Delta State University Teaching Hospital, Nigeria, following ethical approval. Brain computed tomography (CT) scan images of 336 adults were evaluated for nasal septum variants. The angle of the deviated nasal septum was measured, and the severity was classified. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 23.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). The angle of deviation was presented in means and standard deviation. Frequencies of the variants were presented in percentages. The Student t-test was used to compare the angle of deviation, while the chi-squared test was used to compare the frequencies in the different groups. A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results The prevalence of straight and deviated nasal septum was 59.5% and 40.5%, respectively. Deviation was predominant in females (46%) and, more frequently, of moderate severity (75%). The angle of deviation was significantly larger in males (12.55 ± 2.99°) than in females (11.13 ± 2.41°;p = 0.003). Nasal spur had a prevalence of 11.9%, and its coexistence with deviated nasal septum was observed in 5.06%. Septal pneumatization was seen in 10 patients (3%). Conclusions Deviation of the nasal septum occurred more in females and toward the left; however, the angle of deviation was significantly higher in males. Nasal septal spur and pneumatization were the least prevalent variants.

RESUMEN

Objective To report a case of early pregnancy loss with septate uterus, successfully managed by hysteroscopy guided suction & evacuation of product of conception along with removal of uterine septum in same sitting. Case report. Tertiary care hospital. One woman with early pregnancy loss with septate Design Setting Patient uterus. Hysteroscopy guided suction & evacuation of product of conception along with removal of uterine septum Intervention in same sitting. Hysteroscopy guided suction & evacuation of product of conception followed by septum removal with Result hysteroscopic scissor was performed, with minimal blood loss, in same sitting. Products of conception were sent for pathologic examination. There were no intra-operative or postoperative complications. Even though the role of septum as a Conclusion contributing factor to miscarriage in not certain, early pregnancy loss may be seen in patients with septate uterus. Blind removal of POCs with dilatation & curettage, may be complicated with retained products of conception (RPOC) or intrauterine adhesion formation, which can lead to adverse fertility outcomes in the future. Also removal of septum, which may or may not be the cause, is often performed before further pregnancy. This requires another admission & exposure to anaesthesia, along with added cost. Hysteroscopy guided resection of POC with septum removal in same sitting has been associated with complete tissue removal under vision, less damage to surrounding endometrium, cost effective combination of two surgical procedures & earlier time to conception compared with 2 sitting procedure (dilation and curettage than septum removal). Thus, hysteroscopy guided suction & evacuation of POC & septum removal in same sitting can be considered as an alternative surgical technique for management of early pregnancy loss in patients diagnosed with septate uterus. This case report demonstrates the successful application of hysteroscopic procedure in a case of early pregnancy loss with septate uterus.

RESUMEN

Presentamos el caso clínico de una mujer de 58 años que consulta por episodios de epis-taxis autolimitadas por fosa nasal derecha asociados a hipersensibilidad al manipular dicha fosa nasal. A la exploración se evidenció en el septum nasal una lesión mucosa nodular, de consistencia dura y aspecto violáceo. Se llevó a cabo exéresis de la misma por vía endonasal, con resultado histopatológico de tumor glómico (TG) del septum nasal. El TG es una neoplasia benigna perivascular, derivada de las células musculares lisas presentes en el cuerpo glómico; estructura con función termorreguladora, formada por un shunt entre arteriolas y vénulas, sin presencia de red capilar. Los cuerpos glómicos están presentes, mayoritariamente, en extremidades (lecho ungueal). Los tumores glómicos son, verdaderamente, excepcionales en el área ORL, existiendo sólo una treintena de casos publicados hasta la fecha a nivel nasosinusal. La mayoría de casos se presentan entre la 5ᵃ y 6ᵃ década de la vida y más, frecuentemente, en mujeres. Plantea diagnóstico diferencial, fundamentalmente, con dos entidades: el paraganglioma (con el que no debe ser confundido desde el punto de vista terminológico ni histológico), y con el tumor fibroso solitario (antiguo hemangiopericitoma). El comportamiento es benigno y el tratamiento es la cirugía


We present the clinical case of a 58-year-old woman who consulted for episodes of self-limited epistaxis in the right nostril associated with hypersensitivity to manipulation of this nostril. Examination revealed a nodular mucosal lesion in the nasal septum, with a hard consistency and purplish appearance. The lesion was excised endonasally, with histopatho-logical result of a glomus tumor (GT) of the nasal septum. The GT is a benign perivascular neoplasm, derived from smooth muscle cells present in the glomus body; structure with thermoregulatory function, formed by a shunt between arterioles and venules, without the presence of capillary network. Glomus bodies are mostly present in the extremities (nail bed). Glomus tumors are truly exceptional in the ENT area, with only about thirty cases published to date at the nasosinusal level. Most cases occur between the 5th and 6th decade of life and more frequently in women. It raises differential diagnosis fundamentally with two entities: paraganglioma (with which it should not be confused from the terminological or histological point of view) and with solitary fibrous tumor (former hemangiopericytoma). The behavior is benign and the treatment is surgery.

RESUMEN

Introducción: las cardiopatías congénitas constituyen defectos estructurales y/o funcionales del corazón y los grandes vasos, como consecuencia de un error en la embriogénesis de estas estructuras. Los defectos septales suelen ser las cardiopatías congénitas más frecuentes. Objetivo: identificar la asociación entre la morfología de las paredes ventriculares y los defectos septales en fetos humanos. Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal en la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas de Pinar del Río Dr. Ernesto Guevara de la Serna y el Departamento de Anatomía Patológica del Hospital General Docente Abel Santamaría Cuadrado, en el período de enero de 2019 a diciembre de 2020, con 54 fetos producto de interrupciones de embarazo indicadas por genética. Resultados: predominaron los defectos de septación en el sexo masculino. La comunicación interventricular fue el defecto de septación más frecuente. El grosor del ventrículo derecho mostró diferencias lineales y estadísticas significativas en relación con la edad gestacional en los tres defectos estudiados. Similares características presentó el grosor del tabique interventricular en los defectos troncoconales. Conclusiones: ante la presencia de defectos septales se observan modificaciones del grosor de los tabiques cardiacos.


Introduction: congenital heart diseases are structural and/or functional defects of the heart and large vessels, as a consequence of an error in the embryogenesis of these structures. Septal defects are usually the most common congenital heart diseases. Objective: to identify the association between ventricular walls morphology and septal defects in human fetuses. Materials and methods: an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in the Medical Sciences Faculty of Pinar del Rio Dr. Ernesto Guevara de la Serna and the Department of Pathological Anatomy of the General Teaching Hospital Abel Santamaría Cuadrado, in the period from January 2019 to December 2020, with 54 fetuses resulting from pregnancy interruptions indicated by genetics Results: septation defects predominated in males. Interventricular communication was the most frequent septation defect. The thickness of the right ventricle showed significant linear and statistical differences in relation to gestational age in the three studied defects. Similar characteristics showed the thickness of the inter-ventricular septum in truncoconal defects. Conclusions: in the presence of septal defects, modifications of the heart septum thickness are observed.

RESUMEN

Background : Septal surgery is one of the most common surgical procedures performed by an Otorhinolaryngeal surgeon since ancient times. Various modifications in the approach, changing concept of conserving septal cartilage, use of an endoscope and good antibiotics to control postoperative infection have played a key role in controlling the complication rates but still, one thing which is mostly practiced worldwide is nasal packing in the postoperative period which is a nightmare for many patients, as the pain threshold varies from patient to patient. It also causes dryness of mouth, throat irritation, facial heaviness, headache, excessive watering from eyes, aural fullness. There is a lack of proper evidence to prove whether nasal packing really decreases postoperative hemorrhage as the incision is properly approximated and sutured. The main reason for nasal packing was an approximation of nasal septal flap thereby reducing the chances of septal Haematoma and stabilization of septal flap in the midline. The present study has been taken to study and compare postoperative nasal packing and modified quilting suture of the septal flap without the nasal pack. Material and Methods : This one-year prospective comparative study was conducted on 149 patients who underwent septoplasty with 3 months follow-up. One group had Postoperative nasal packing and the other had only modified septal flap suturing without the nasal pack. Results : Out of the total of 149 patients, 88 underwent nasal packing in the postoperative period and 61 patients had undergone suture of the nasal septal flap without nasal packing. A statistically significant value of VAS score was found in the non-packing group of 61 patients, where the average postoperative VAS score was 1.46 against 3.7 among the packing group of 88 patients. An unpaired t-test was applied and a value of 15.431 was obtained with a pvalue less than 0.001. No cases presented with septal perforation in the postoperative period in patients without a nasal pack and there were 2 cases (2.2%) of septal perforation in the nasal packing group. There was no significant bleeding in the postoperative period in both groups of patients. Conclusion : Stabilization of the nasal septal flap by modified quilting technique is better option after septoplasty with good comfort score.

RESUMEN

Malfunction of the ventral subiculum (vSub), the main subregion controlling the output connections from the hippocampus, is associated with major depressive disorder (MDD). Although the vSub receives cholinergic innervation from the medial septum and diagonal band of Broca (MSDB), whether and how the MSDB-to-vSub cholinergic circuit is involved in MDD is elusive. Here, we found that chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) induced depression-like behaviors with hyperactivation of vSub neurons, measured by c-fos staining and whole-cell patch-clamp recording. By retrograde and anterograde tracing, we confirmed the dense MSDB cholinergic innervation of the vSub. In addition, transient restraint stress in CUMS increased the level of ACh in the vSub. Furthermore, chemogenetic stimulation of this MSDB-vSub innervation in ChAT-Cre mice induced hyperactivation of vSub pyramidal neurons along with depression-like behaviors; and local infusion of atropine, a muscarinic receptor antagonist, into the vSub attenuated the depression-like behaviors induced by chemogenetic stimulation of this pathway and CUMS. Together, these findings suggest that activating the MSDB-vSub cholinergic pathway induces hyperactivation of vSub pyramidal neurons and depression-like behaviors, revealing a novel circuit underlying vSub pyramidal neuronal hyperactivation and its associated depression.

RESUMEN

Primary endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the rectovaginal septum is rare. Its pathogenesis is not clear and there is no standard treatment. One patient with endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the rectovaginal septum arising from deep infiltrative endometriosis was admitted to Qingdao Municipal Hospital. The patient presented with incessant menstruation and abdominal distension. She had bilateral ovarian endometriotic cystectomy 6 years ago. Imaging findings suggested a pelvic mass which might invade the rectovaginal septum. Pathological results of primary surgery confirmed endometrioid carcinoma of the pelvic mass arising from the rectovaginal septum. Then she had a comprehensive staged surgery. Postoperative chemotherapy was given 6 times. No recurrence or metastasis was found during the 2-year follow-up. The possibility of deep infiltrating endometriosis and its malignant transformation should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a new extragonadal pelvic lesion in a patient with a history of endometriosis, which would avoid misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

RESUMEN

Objective:To investigate the effect of autologous costal cartilage cortex as nasal tip support and modified graft for nasal tip contour improvement.Methods:From June 2020 to June 2021, 116 patients (male 26, female 90, aged 20-45 years) who received rhinoplasty in the cosmetic surgery department of Myoung Beaucare Clinic of Beijing, were examined the costal cartilage by CT, and the costal cartilage was cut. The costal cartilage cortex was made into " strip" and " cap" grafts to shape the nasal tip, and the nasal dorsum was raised by polytetrafluoroethylene or silicone prosthesis for comprehensive rhinoplasty.Results:A total of 116 patients were followed up for an average of 11.7 months. After the operation, there was no space occupying in the nasal cavity, no graft protrusion, no obvious foreign body feeling in the nasal valve, and the nasal tip could swing left and right. At the same time, the nasal tip showed obvious signs, the lower lobule was full, and there were no complications such as cartilage appearance, exposure, infection, etc. Due to the untreated deviation of nasal septum, 3 cases had deviation of nasal columella and asymmetric nostrils. The shape of nasal tip was stable in the remaining 113 cases, and satisfactory results were obtained.Conclusions:By using autologous costal cartilage cortex as nasal tip support and modification graft for nasal tip contour improvement, the shaped nasal tip is soft and movable, and does not affect the airway. It is a good surgical technique in nasal tip plastic surgery, which is worthy of clinical application.

RESUMEN

Objective:To explore the application of nasal aesthetic polygon theory in the reconstruction of new domes on nasal tip with autogenous costal cartilage.Methods:From June 2019 to June 2021, 116 patients (26 males and 90 females) received rhinoplasty, CT-assisted examination of the costal cartilage, nasal bone and nasal cartilage was performed, and the autogenous costal cartilaginous cortex was used to make dome reconstruction grafts that were transplanted to the original alar cartilage and partially fixed to the original nasal septum cartilage to form a satisfactory and natural nasal shape.Results:All the patients were followed up for 6-24 months. No cartilaginous, overrotated or underrotated appearance was found in nasal tip. The shape of nasal tip was clear and good, with an obvious performance point and full lower lobule. The nose was tall and straight, and looked natural and beautiful in three dimensions.Conclusions:The nasal aesthetic polygon theory is used to guide the reconstruction of new domes with autogenous costal cartilage in nasal tip surgery. Compared to the cap and shield grafts, the nasal tip is more close to the normal anatomical structure, the shape and texture are more similiar to the natural state and the nasal tip is softer by using autogenous costal cartilage, and so it is an ideal surgical procedure for nasal tip reconstruction.
