RESUMO

Introduction: Central nervous system (CNS) tumours represent a significant public health issue worldwide, and their incidence and distribution vary across different populations. Although studies on CNS tumours have been conducted in various countries, there is a lack of information regarding their patterns in Macedonia. Therefore, this study is aimed at investigating the distribution, histopathological types and subtypes and demographic features of CNS tumours in our country. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted using the electronic database of the Institute of Pathology - Medical Faculty, University "Ss. Cyril and Methodius" in Skopje which contains data from 3286 received and analysed surgical specimens, mainly from the University Clinic of Neurosurgery in Skopje, and a smaller number of surgical specimens from the University Surgical Centre "St. Naum Ohridski" in Skopje between 2012 and 2022. The collected and analysed data includes patient age, sex and histopathological types and subtypes of the tumours. Results: The majority of CNS tumours were diagnosed in adults aged between 50-70, with a male to female ratio of 1.5:1. The most common location of the tumours was the cerebrum, followed by the pituitary gland and cerebellum. The most frequent histological groups were gliomas, with glioblastoma as the most common diagnosis, followed by meningiomas. Conclusion: Following a detailed and thorough review of the CNS tumours in our study, we can conclude that the R. of Macedonia follows global statistics and trends regarding brain tumours.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: An aneurysm is an abnormal focal dilatation of an artery. Most of the unruptured aneurysms are asymptomatic and discovered incidentally or some of them symptomatic with mass effect or nerve palsy, but rupture of aneurysm results in a potentially life-threatening subarachnoid haemorrhage. Aneurysms with wide necks are defined by neck diameters greater than 4 mm or dome-to-neck ratios less than 2 and are the most difficult to treat with the endovascular method. AIM: This study aimed to analyse the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms with a wide neck. METHODS: The study population included 37 patients with 46 aneurysms referred to the University Clinic of Radiology in Skopje, the Republic of Macedonia for endovascular treatment during the period January 2013 to May 2018. This study included 24 females and 13 males, ranging in age from 25 to 74 years. RESULTS: From total 46 treated aneurysms 13 were ruptured and 33 unruptured. Six patients were with multiple aneurysms. In these study complex aneurysms were treated with combined technique, 5 with balloon-assisted coiling, 25 with stent-assisted coiling, 6 stents, 2 with flow diverter assisted coiling, 6 FD and 2 with partial coil filling without assistance device. CONCLUSION: Aneurysms with wide neck remain a challenge for endovascular treatment. But the development of new techniques and materials in the treatment of aneurysms makes endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms safe and feasible.

RESUMO

AIM: The purpose of this study is to describe our experience with needle localization technique in diagnosing small breast cancers. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This retrospective study included a hundred and twenty patients' with impalpable breast lesions and they underwent wire localization. All patients had mammography, ultrasound exam and pathohystological results. We use Mammomat Inspiration Siemens digital unit for diagnosing mammography, machine - Lorad Affinity with fenestrated compressive pad for wire localization and ultrasound machine Acuson X300 with linear array probe 10 MhZ. We use two types of wire: Bard hook wire and Kopans breast lesion localization needle, Cook. Comparative radiologic and pathologic data were collected and analyzed. RESULTS: In 120 asymptomatic women, 68 malignancies and 52 benign findings were detected with mammography and ultrasound. The mean age for patients with malignancy was 58.6 years. According BI-RADS classification for mammography the distribution is our group was: BI-RADS 3 was presented in 6 (8.82%) patients, BI-RADS 4 was presented in 56 (82.35%) patients and BI-RADS 5 was present in 6 (8.82%) of the patients. Most wire localizations were performed under mammographic guidance in 58 from 68 patients with malignant lesions (85.29%) and with ultrasound in 10 (14.7%). According the mammographic findings patients with mass on mammograms were 29 (42.65%), mass with calcifications 9 (13.23%), calcifications 20 (29.41%) and architectural distortions or asymmetry 10 (14.71%). CONCLUSION: Wire localization is a well established technique for the management of impalpable breast lesions.
