Tratamento cirúrgico para automatismos sexuais em crises parciais complexas: relato de caso e revisão da literatura / Surgical treatment for sexual automatisms in complex partial seizures: case report and literature review

Relatamos caso raro de crises parciais complexas com automatismos genitais secundárias a tumor temporal. Paciente foi submetida à lobectomia temporal direita com remissão completa dos sintomas. Após revisão da literatura, fica evidenciado que crises podem ser originadas tanto no lobo frontal quanto temporal.

Neurocisticercose em tronco cerebral: relato de caso e revisão da literatura / Brainstem cysticercosis: case report and literature review

Descrever patologia rara em que há poucos relatos sobre a incidência em tronco cerebral (em torno de 8% dos casos), cujo tratamento adequado resulta em prognóstico favorável. Descrição de tratamento cirúrgico de paciente com neurocisticercose em tronco cerebral. Paciente evoluiu com regressão completa dos sintomas prévios após cirurgia. Na neurocisticercose, a definição do tratamento clínico ou cirúrgico está diretamente relacionada à localização, ao tamanho e ao número de lesões, diminuindo, assim, a mortalidade e a morbidade nessa patologia.

To describe a rare pathology, where there are few reports on the incidence of brain stem (about 8% of cases), whose proper treatment results in favorable prognosis. Description of surgical treatment of patients with neurocysticercosis in the brainstem. Following the surgery all previous symptoms resolved. In the definition of neurocysticercosis clinical or surgical treatment is directly related to location, size and number of lesions, thus decreasing mortality and morbidity in this disease.

Scaphocephaly and cranial vault reconstruction: Renier's 'H' technique.

BACKGROUND: Resulting from an early fusion of the sagittal suture, scaphocephaly (SC) is the most frequent form of all craniosynostosis and represents 40-60% of all cases. The scope of this study is to describe the first series of Renier's 'H' technique to be applied in children with SC outside of France. METHODS: A consecutive review is made of the medical records of children hospitalized in the last 6 years (between March 2007 and March 2013) with isolated SC in whom Renier's 'H' technique was performed. RESULTS: Thirteen children met the criteria for inclusion in the study. Considering medical evaluation and parental satisfaction, the evaluation of postsurgical cranial reconstruction was classified as satisfactory in all cases. CONCLUSIONS: We consider the Renier's H technique to be effective in the cranial reshaping of children with isolated SC, with satisfactory esthetic postsurgical results.
