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.     

红外线光疗促进慢性感染伤口愈合的临床观察

在外科临床中,慢性感染伤口经久不愈的病例并不少见。2000年10月—2005年12月,我院对80例慢性感染伤口愈合不良的病人在常规治疗的同时加用红外线光疗,获得满意疗效。1临床资料1.1一般资料慢性感染伤口80例,其中男性59例,女性21例,60岁以上老年病人8例,其余年龄在20岁~60岁之间     

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,     

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.     

硬膜外阻滞并静脉复合麻醉用于宫颈癌根治术的临床观察

目的：为宫颈癌根治手术选择最佳麻醉方案和术后镇痛方法。方法：对宫颈癌根治手术病人采用硬膜外并静脉复合联合麻醉。结果：麻醉效果确切，有效，肌松满意，术后镇痛效果好，并发症少。结论：在宫颈癌根治手术中采用硬膜外阻滞并静脉复合麻醉具有作用互补、单位用药量减少及麻醉副作用小等优点。     

自我按摩保健(十)

老年骨质疏松症骨质疏松症是老年较常见的一种代谢性骨病。性激素水平低下是导致骨质疏松的主要原因。骨质疏松症有的没有任何症状,而以四肢某部骨折或脊椎压缩性骨折突然发病。有的则以腰背持续性钝痛或剧烈疼痛为特点,背举重物时加重,可因限制活动而减轻症状。身材变短是一个早期的特征,患者常有驼背、上腹部出现横带状角化皮肤、消瘦及食欲减退等。X线拍片可见骨密度普遍减低等骨质疏松的表现。60岁以上的男性发病率约为10%,女性则是男性的3～5倍,是女性腰背疼痛的重要原因。有人发现,患骨质疏松的老年人每增加5岁,骨折数可增加一倍,认…
