Pediatric intracranial aneurysms——clinical characteristics and therapeutic strategies

Objective To assess the radiological characteristics and therapeutic strategies of intracranial aneurysms in children. Methods From our dedicated neurovascular databank of patients, we reviewed 23 consecutive children who had 24 intracranial aneurysms. There were 14 boys and 9 girls with a mean age of 9.09 years ( range 1 - 14 years ). Results Intracranial aneurysms in children ≤ 14 years constituted 1.3% of all intracranial aneurysms. Internal Carotid artery (ICA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) were the most frequent sites for aneurysms. About 58.3% of the aneurysms were complex, including dissecting, pseudoaneurysm, giant and fusiform aneurysm. 1/3 of all aneurysms were located in posterior circulation. Only 1 case had multiple aneurysms in this case series. Almost half of all cases presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage and others presented with mass effect. 14 cases underwent endovascular treatment. 4 patients received microsurgical therapy. 5 cases did not receive microsurgical or endovascular therapy, 2 of them whose aneurysms spontaneously thrombosed during follow up. One boy with left vertebral artery giant aneurysm died after endovascular therapy owing to gradual thrombosis in basilar artery. Another child had poor outcome because of rerupture of aneurysm before operation. Whereas the majority had a favorable outcome. Conclusions Intracranial aneurysms in children had many clinical and radiological characteristics different from those in adults : ( 1 ) remarkable male predominance; ( 2 ) ICA and MCA were the most common sites for aneurysms; (3) high incidence of large, traumatic, infectious, dissecting and fusiform aneurysms. (4)For pediatric intracranial aneurysms, both microsurgical approaches and endovascular treatment were effective. Endovaacular therapy was the best choice for complex aneurysms.     

脸色腰段椎间盘突出症21例临床分析

胸腰段椎间盘突出症罕见,约占椎间盘突出的0.6％～4％。随着CT及MRI的应用,其发病率有增加的趋势。因其发病率低,报道较少。但由于病变位于脊髓圆椎段,其发病较下腰段椎间盘突出有很大的特殊性,故有必要结合我院近年收治的21例对其作一回顾性分析。1 临床资料     

巡回性诊疗护理与老年人保健

饭富病院地处日本本州山黎县,远离大都市,地偏人稀,但环境优美,气候宜人,的确是疗养的好地方。饭富病院属公立医院,虽规模较小,但是一所综合性医院。我们在此院研修3个月,时间虽短,但期间的所见所闻,尤其护理方面给我们的启发和教益却是十分深刻的。现介绍几个片断,以飨读者。1     

异位心(胸腹型)1例报告

异位心是罕见的先天性畸形,以胸部型心异位最为常见。我们遇到1例胸腹型异位心,为明确心内畸形作了全面检查,现报告如下.患者,女,19岁,自幼发现心脏杂音,平时易受凉发烧,活动后气喘,一岁后逐渐出现紫绀,无蹲踞及晕厥史.发育营养较差,口唇、面部紫绀,杵状指趾。BP110/70mmHg,P88次/分。胸部对称,     

上班族的饮食对策

1.“迷你“食品定时“充电“紧张的节奏,繁杂的事务,经常令白领们在正常的进餐时间内只能简单地吃上几口,食物中的热量和营养价值不能满足机体代谢的需要.解决的办法是每隔2～3小时就少量进食,可以选择一杯脱脂牛奶或营养麦片,几片面包或若干块饼干足矣.……     

东芝KXO-15C 500mA X线机点片系统故障2例

故障现象1 点片架不能升降. 故障分析开机发现无论操作spotup或spotdown,升降电机都不运转,但继电器RY5、RY6、与RY9都动作,用万用表测得RY9(32、42)触点提供给电机运转绕组的电压正常,但给电机启动绕组供电的继电器RY7不动,说明RY7的线圈没有得电.

多寐治验

多寐一证,昼夜思睡,故亦称“嗜睡”,类似现代医学的发作性睡病。笔者曾随路志正老中医学习,目睹其治不寐每获佳效,兹举验案1则。 王某某,男,15岁,学生,1985年4月29日初诊。嗜睡2年余,白昼欲寐,上课时亦能入睡,伴周身倦怠,头目不清,纳食不馨,口唇干燥,健忘,常在情绪激动时觉双下肢无力,甚或摔倒,近来咽千疼痛喉中有粘痰难咯出,二便调。曾在某院     

肠溶阿斯匹林剂量和血阿斯匹林及水杨酸盐浓度与药效关系探讨

本文探讨了ＡＳＡ剂量与药效的关系及血ＡＳＡ、ＳＡ药物浓度监测的临床意义，结果表明：（１）ＡＳＡ剂量与６－ｋｅｔｏ－ＰＧＦ_（１α）抑制率呈正相关（Ｐ＜０．０１），而与ＴＸＢ_２及ＰＡｇＲ抑制率无相关性（Ｐ＞０．１）；（２）本文采用ＨＰＬＣ内标法同时测定血ＡＳＡ和ＳＡ浓度，结果准确，方法简便；（３）当口服小剂量ＡＳＡ防治ＣＩ时，监测血ＡＳＡ和ＳＡ以调整ＡＳＡ用药剂量的临床价值并非十分重要。
