RESUMO

Solitary fibrous tumour is a rare mesenchymal tumour of uncertain origin that occurs most frequently in the pleura, although it has also been described in extraserosal sites. The biological behaviour of the tumour is unpredictable. The case history is described of a patient diagnosed with a large symptomatic irresectable mediastinal solitary fibrous tumour who achieved a clinical, radiological and metabolic response after concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

RESUMO

Some patients with sarcoidosis can have cardiac involvement. Impairment of the cardiac sympathetic nerve activity is seen in about 50% of the sarcoidosis patients with small fiber neuropathy. In this case we present a sarcoidosis patient with small fiber neuropathy and cardiac symptoms with a cardiac sympathetic dysfunction, assessed with I-123 MIBG SPECT. After 5 months of treatment with carvedilol, which has besides adrenergic receptor blocking effects also antioxidant action, we saw a clear improvement of the cardiac sympathetic function demonstrated on a repeated I-123 MIBG SPECT. Future studies should explore the clinical relevance of the relation of oxidative stress, antioxidant therapy and cardiac dysfunction in sarcoidosis.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to introduce a useful diagnostic method to evaluate baclofen pump system-related complications without disturbing the continuous delivery of intrathecal baclofen. METHODS: We present a case report on the use of an indium (111) diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) flow study in the evaluation of a lumbar swelling in a 16-year-old girl with spastic cerebral palsy, treated with continuous intrathecal baclofen (CITB). RESULTS: Disconnection or damage of the catheter leading to leakage of baclofen into the lumbar swelling could be ruled out by the use of an indium (111) DTPA flow study. This is the first report to illustrate the implementation of an lndium (111) DTPA flow study without interrupting the infusion of CITB. CONCLUSION: An indium (111) DTPA flow study is a non-invasive, safe and patient friendly diagnostic method which can be of great help in the evaluation of pump- or catheter-related complications and does not need to interfere with the delivery of CITB.
