RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Teratoma is the most common congenital tumor, but the orbital location is rare. It is composed of tissues from ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: Congenital orbital teratoma commonly presents as unilateral proptosis, with rapid growth, leading to exposure keratopathy. DIAGNOSIS: Prenatal ultrasound may detect the orbital mass, computed tomography (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging are better in demonstrating multilocular cystic and solid mass, without bone erosion. Laboratory tests should include alfa-fetoprotein (AFP) and B-human chorionic gonadotropin (B-HCG), and histopathologically, it contains all three germ cell layers components. The management is surgical removal of the lesion, the mature teratoma has a benign behavior, and the immature has a poor prognostic. We describe a rare case of congenital orbital teratoma with intracranial extension of the lesion, in which was treated with orbital exenteration. After surgery, AFP levels decreased, the middle face displacement has improved and development milestones were appropriate.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Traumatic brachial plexus injuries are devastating lesions, and neurotization is an usually elected surgical therapy. The phrenic nerve has been harvested as a motor fibers donor in brachial plexus neurotization, showing great results in terms of motor reinnervation. Unfortunately, these interventions lack solid evidence regarding long-term safety and possible late respiratory function sequelae, raising crescent concerns after the COVID-19 pandemic onset and possibly resulting in reduced propensity to use this technique. The study of the distal anatomy of the phrenic nerves may lead to a better understanding of their branching patterns, and thus the proposition of surgical approaches that better preserve patient respiratory function. METHODS: Twenty-one phrenic nerves in 10 formalized cadavers were scrutinized. Prediaphragmatic branching patterns were inspected through analysis of the distance between the piercing site of the nerve at the diaphragm and the cardiac structures, number of divisions, and length from the point where the main trunk emits its branches to the diaphragm. RESULTS: The main trunk of the right phrenic nerve reaches the diaphragm near the inferior vena cava and branches into 3 major divisions. The left phrenic nerve reaches the diaphragm in variable locations near the heart, branching into 2-5 main trunks. Moreover, we noticed a specimen presenting 2 ipsilateral parallel phrenic nerves. CONCLUSIONS: The right phrenic nerve presented greater consistency concerning insertion site, terminal branching point distance to this muscle, and number of rami than the left phrenic nerve.
