RESUMO

Malignant obstruction of the cervical esophagus presents some anatomical and technical challenges when considering radiologic or endoscopic intervention. This case report describes the failure of antegrade access to place a gastrostomy tube and stent due to complete luminal occlusion from an esophageal tumor. The ultrasound-guided percutaneous gastric puncture was performed to achieve retrograde pneumodistension to allow radiologic gastrostomy insertion. Subsequently, the cervical esophagus was retrogradely cannulated via insertion of a guidewire from the gastrostomy site. A distal release esophageal stent was then inserted over the wire and deployed from the mouth in an antegrade manner. However, due to the unpredictable proximal shortening of distal release stents, this stent was eventually shortened and displaced so that it no longer covered the top of the tumor stricture, and further antegrade access failed. Once more, a retrograde access approach was adopted via the gastrostomy stoma, a guidewire and catheter were passed retrogradely through the original stent and out through the mouth. A distal release stent system was then inserted in a retrograde manner via the gastrostomy stoma, effectively making it a proximal release stent which enabled more precise positioning of the stent above the tumor. Palliation was achieved until death, and beyond expected mean survival.

RESUMO

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S): Trismus is caused by injury to the masticatory muscles resulting from cancer or its treatment. Contouring these muscles to reduce dose and radiation related trismus can be problematic due to interobserver variability. This study aimed to evaluate the reduction in interobserver variability achievable with a new contouring atlas. MATERIALS/METHODS: The atlas included: medial and lateral pterygoids (MP, LP), masseter (M) and temporalis (T) muscles, and the temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ). Seven clinicians delineated five paired structures on CT scans from 5 patients without the atlas. After ≥5 weeks, contouring was repeated using the atlas. Using contours generated by the clinicians on the same 5 CT scans as reference, dice similarity coefficient (DSC), mean distance-to-agreement (DTA) and centre of mass (COM) difference were compared with and without the atlas. Comparison was also performed split by training grade. Mean and standard deviation (SD) values were measured. RESULTS: The atlas reduced interobserver variability for all structures. Mean DTA significantly improved for MP (p = 0.01), M (p < 0.01), T (p < 0.01) and TMJ (p < 0.01). Mean DTA improved using the atlas for the trainees across all muscles, with the largest reduction in variability observed for the T (4.3 ±â€¯7.1 v 1.2 ±â€¯0.4 mm, p = 0.06) and TMJ (2.1 ±â€¯0.7 v 0.8 ±â€¯0.3 mm, p < 0.01). Distance between the COM and interobserver variability reduced in all directions for MP and T. CONCLUSION: A new atlas for contouring masticatory muscles during radiotherapy planning for head and neck cancer reduces interobserver variability and could be used as an educational tool.
