RESUMO

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: To determine whether the endoscopic or sublabial transseptal transsphenoidal approach for pituitary surgery has superior outcomes or decreased complication rates. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective meta-analysis of literature. METHODS: A MEDLINE search was conducted identifying all relevant literature in the English language from 1998 through 2010. Studies explicitly identifying pure sublabial or completely endoscopic approaches were included. Meta-analysis comparing the two techniques was performed for multiple outcome measures utilizing a random effects approach. RESULTS: A total of 21 endoscopic studies (n = 2,335) and 17 sublabial studies (n = 2,565) met inclusion criteria. Analysis revealed significantly superior rates of gross tumor resection (79% vs. 65%, P < .0001), as well as lower rates of cerebral spinal fluid leak (5% vs. 7%, P < .01), septal perforation (0% vs. 5%), and postoperative epistaxis (1% vs. 4%, P < .0001) for the endoscopic approach compared to the sublabial approach. There was no difference between the two techniques in the incidence of meningitis, diabetes insipidus, or resolution of hormonal abnormality. Hospital stay (P = .01) was shorter for endoscopic surgery compared to sublabial surgery, and there was no significant difference in terms of length of operation. CONCLUSIONS: The sublabial transsphenoidal approach has been the gold standard for pituitary surgery for many years. However, meta-analysis of the recent literature demonstrates superior outcomes and decreased postoperative complications with the endoscopic approach, potentially justifying a shift toward endoscopic pituitary surgery.

RESUMO

CONTEXT: More than 99% of thyroid cancers arise eutopically within the thyroid gland. The most frequent sites of ectopic thyroid tissue are lingual, sublingual, thyroglossal, laryngotracheal, and lateral cervical. Thyroid tissue can also be found in remote structures that were associated with the thyroid anlage during development, including the esophagus, mediastinum, heart, aorta, adrenal, pancreas, gallbladder, and skin. Ectopic thyroid tissue can be subject to the same pathological processes as normal eutopic thyroid tissue such as inflammation, hyperplasia, and tumorigenesis. The aim of this review is to describe aspects of thyroid cancer arising from the ectopic thyroid tissue in the neck in regard to epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment and to present an illustrative series of cases of ectopic thyroid cancer. DATA ACQUISITION: We have searched the PubMed database for articles including the keywords "ectopic thyroid cancer" published between January 1, 1960, and January 1, 2011. As references, we used clinical case series, case reports, review articles, and practical guidelines focused on ectopic thyroid cancer confined to the neck region. SYNTHESIS AND CONCLUSIONS: The possibility of an ectopic thyroid cancer should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a pathological mass in the neck. Treatment of ectopic cervical thyroid cancer is based predominantly on the surgical excision of the malignant lesion. Management strategies, including performance of total thyroidectomy, neck dissection, and treatment with radioiodine, should be based on individualized risk stratification.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To understand the presentation and clinical course of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor-induced angioedema and to determine management factors associated with progression to airway compromise. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: Retrospective chart review of patients taking ACE inhibitors who presented to the emergency department with angioedema between December 1999 and July 2004 (n = 228). Clinical presentation, treatment, and clinical course were analyzed. RESULTS: The oral cavity was the most common location of upper-airway angioedema. Twenty-two (10%) patients required intubation, and all were intubated within 12 hours of presentation. Of the patients who required intubation, those who were started on an H(1)-blocker were extubated earlier than those not on an H(1)-blocker (P = 0.05). CONCLUSION: The locations of swelling and drooling on admission are predictive of the need for intubation. Other aspects of presentation, treatment, and disposition can help in management decisions for this potentially fatal condition. SIGNIFICANCE: This is the largest series to date of ACE inhibitor-related angioedema that challenges theories on the etiology and treatment of this condition.

RESUMO

Bronchogenic cysts are congenital sacs that result from maldevelopment of the primitive foregut. Although they occur predominantly in the chest, there are reports of lesions in extrathoracic locations. The majority of reported bronchogenic cysts located in the neck are found in the pediatric population; a review of the literature reveals few reports of bronchogenic cysts of the neck among adults. The diagnosis of a bronchogenic cyst relies on the histology and location of the lesion. Here, we review our experience in the diagnosis and management of 2 adult patients with pathologically proven bronchogenic cysts. Both patients presented with solitary neck masses that proved to be bronchogenic cysts on histologic examination. Our purpose is to define the histopathologic and clinical characteristics of bronchogenic cysts and discuss the features that distinguish them from other cervical cysts. In conclusion, congenital bronchogenic cysts can occur in the neck of adults and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic cervical masses in adults, as well as children.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The objectives of the study were to present four cases of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) metastatic to the head and neck, to recognize the appearance on radiographic studies, to understand the importance of preoperative embolization, and to review the results of treatment. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective review of patients diagnosed with metastatic RCC to the head and neck. METHODS: The records of four patients diagnosed with metastatic RCC at a tertiary medical center over a 5-year period from 1996 to 2001 were reviewed and analyzed for demographic and outcomes data. RESULTS: Metastatic RCC to the head and neck was seen in the following locations: nasal cavity, lower lip, hard palate, tongue, and maxillary sinus. Presenting signs were loose upper molars, dysphagia, nasal obstruction, lower lip lesion, recurrent epistaxis, and foul nasal drainage. Histological studies confirmed metastasis of RCC in all four patients. Treatment consisted of preoperative radiation therapy, embolization, and local excision with adjunct chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS: Metastatic RCC to the head and neck is rare but can have serious consequences if not recognized before biopsy. We present several treatment options with local excision as the primary mode of treatment.
