RESUMO

La neuralgia glosofaríngea es una enfermedad rara cuyo tratamiento inicial es farmacológico. Cuando la terapia médica no es eficaz, se encuentran disponibles diferentes opciones quirúrgicas, incluida la radiocirugía estereotáctica, la descompresión microvascular o la sección de nervios. Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 26 años con neuralgia glosofaríngea y malformación de Chiari. Este tipo raro de neuralgia a veces se asocia con una anomalía de la unión cráneo-cervical. Se realizó una expansión de fosa posterior con duraplastia y descompresión microvascular. La paciente mostró una completa desaparición del dolor, sin necesidad de llevar a cabo la resección de las amígdalas cerebelosas (AU)


Glossopharyngeal neuralgia is a rare disease whose initial treatment is pharmacological. When medical therapy is not effective, different surgical options are available including stereotactic radiosurgery, microvascular decompression or nerve section. It is reported a case of a 26-year-old female with glossopharyngeal neuralgia and Chiari malformation. This rare type of neuralgia sometimes is associated with an abnormality of the cranio-cervical junction. It was performed a posterior fossa expansion with duraplasty and microvascular decompression. The patient showed a complete disappearance of the pain, with no need of tonsil resection (AU)

RESUMO

Introducción. La hemisferectomía funcional es una de las técnicas quirúrgicas con intención paliativa que se pueden realizar en pacientes con epilepsia farmacorresistente y síndromes hemisféricos. Se basa en la desconexión neuronal del hemisferio afectado preservando el árbol vascular. Objetivo. Analizar el pronóstico y la seguridad a largo plazo de las hemisferectomías realizadas en nuestro centro. Pacientes y métodos. Revisión retrospectiva de los casos intervenidos, recogiendo las siguientes variables clínicas: edad, sexo, edad de inicio de la epilepsia, tipo de crisis, etiología de la epilepsia, edad de intervención, pronóstico posquirúrgico y posibles complicaciones. El seguimiento mínimo fue de cinco años. Resultados. Cinco pacientes (60% mujeres) fueron intervenidos entre 1999 y 2010. La edad de inicio de la epilepsia fue de 36 meses, y el tiempo de evolución hasta la cirugía, de 7 años. El tipo de crisis más habitual fueron las crisis parciales simples motoras con generalización secundaria (n = 5). Tres pacientes permanecieron libres de crisis tras la cirugía, y otro paciente mejoró más de un 90%. El tiempo medio de seguimiento fue de 13 años. Como complicaciones, una paciente sufrió una meningitis bacteriana sin secuelas posteriores. A los seis años de la cirugía, un paciente presentó una hidrocefalia que requirió la implantación de una válvula de derivación ventriculoperitoneal. Conclusiones. La hemisferectomía funcional constituye un procedimiento quirúrgico eficaz para el tratamiento de pacientes con epilepsia farmacorresistente, patología hemisférica extensa y crisis limitadas a ese hemisferio. Hay complicaciones que pueden aparecer tardíamente, por lo que se aconseja un seguimiento a largo plazo de estos pacientes (AU)


Introduction. Functional hemispherectomy consists in palliative epilepsy surgical procedure usually performed in patients with pharmaco-resistant epilepsy and hemispheric syndromes. It is based on the neural disconnection of the affected hemisphere with preservation of the vascular supply. Aim. To analyze long-term prognosis and safety of the hemispherectomies performed in our institution. Patients and methods. Retrospective analysis collecting the following variables: age, gender, age of epilepsy onset, type of seizures, etiology, age of epilepsy surgery, prognosis and potential surgical complications. All patients had a minimum of five years of follow up. Results. Five patients (60% females) underwent hemispherotomy between 1999 and 2010. Age of epilepsy onset was 36 months and time of evolution until surgery was 7 years. The most frequent type of seizures were simple motor seizures with secondary generalization (n = 5). Three patients remained seizure free persistently after surgery and another patient had a more than 90% improvement. Time of follow up was 13 years. One patient suffered a bacterial meningitis without sequelae. Six years after surgery a patient suffered hydrocephalous requiring ventriculoperitoneal shunt. Conclusions. Functional hemispherectomy constitutes an effective method to treat patients with pharmaco-resistant epilepsy, extensive unihemispheric pathology and seizures limited to that hemisphere. Late complications may occur thus long-term follow-up is needed (AU)

RESUMO

Introducción. El estimulador vagal es una alternativa terapéutica en los pacientes con epilepsia refractaria al tratamiento con fármacos antiepilépticos que no son candidatos a cirugía de resección. Objetivo. Analizar la eficacia del estimulador vagal en los pacientes pediátricos de nuestro centro. Pacientes y métodos. Conjunto de 13 pacientes implantados entre los años 2008 y 2013. Se registró la frecuencia de crisis previa a la implantación, al año, a los dos años y al final del seguimiento. Asimismo, se recogió el número de fármacos antiepilépticos utilizados, de forma cualitativa la mejoría conductual y el cambio en la intensidad de las crisis, así como la aparición de efectos secundarios y la retirada o no del dispositivo. Resultados. Al año, a los dos años y al final del seguimiento se había producido una reducción en el número de crisis del 61%, 66,7% y 69%, respectivamente, y uno de los pacientes se encontró libre de crisis a los dos años. Al final del seguimiento, un 23% de los que habían disminuido sus crisis había experimentado una reducción superior al 90%. De forma independiente al efecto sobre el número de crisis, el 77% de los pacientes presentó una mejoría en la intensidad y duración de las crisis, y ese mismo porcentaje mostró una mejoría conductual. Los efectos secundarios aparecieron en un 30,7% de los pacientes y fueron de intensidad leve. Conclusiones. A pesar del pequeño tamaño de la muestra, nuestros resultados indican que el estimulador vagal tiene una eficacia relevante en la población pediátrica farmacorresistente, tanto sobre la frecuencia e intensidad de las crisis como sobre la conducta (AU)


Introduction. The vagus nerve stimulator is a therapeutic alternative in patients with epilepsy which is refractory to treatment with antiepileptic drugs that are not candidates for surgical resection. Aim. To analyse the effectiveness of vagus nerve stimulator in the paediatric patients of our centre. Patients and methods. Set of 13 patients implanted between 2008 y 2013. It was registered the frequency of crises prior to implantation, after a year and at the end of the monitoring period. As well, it was recorded the number of antiepileptic drugs used and in a qualitative way the behavioural improvement and the change in the intensity of the crises, besides the apparition of secondary effects and the removal or not of the device. Results. After a year, two years and at the end of the monitoring period it has been a fall in the number of crises about of 61%, 66.7% y 69% respectively, finding one patient free of crises after two years. At the end of the monitoring period, the 23% of those who had reduced their crises had experimented a reduction over 90%. Independently the effect on the number of crises, 77% of the patients presented an improvement in the intensity and the length of the crises, the same average showed a behavioural improvement. The secondary effects appeared in a 30.7% of the patients, being of mild intensity. Conclusions. Despite the small size of our sample, our results shows that the vagus nerve stimulator has a relevant efficacy over the pediatric drug resistant population, as much in the frequency and intensity of the crises, as over the behaviour (AU)

RESUMO

Objetivos: Analizar las características clínicas, los factores de recidiva y el resultado quirúrgico de un grupo de pacientes con hematoma subdural crónico bilateral (HSCB) y compararlos con una serie de hematomas subdurales crónicos unilaterales (HSCU). Pacientes y métodos: Estudio retrospectivo que incluye a 1.523 pacientes, tratados quirúrgicamente durante un período de 30 años, de un hematoma subdural crónico. Los pacientes se dividieron en 2 grupos: el de estudio formado por 190 pacientes que presentaban un HSCB y el control formado por 1.333 pacientes que presentaban un HSCB. Resultados: La serie de estudio está formada por 126 varones (66,3%) y 64 mujeres (33,7%) con una edad media de 74,8±10,2 años. En el grupo control hay 870 varones (65,2%) y 463 mujeres (34,8%) con una edad media de 73,2% ± 12,1. El síntoma de inicio más frecuente fue el deterioro cognitivo en 63 pacientes (33,2%) en los bilaterales y en 416 (29,5%) en los unilaterales. Se produjeron 18 casos de recidiva (9,4%) en los bilaterales y 77 (5,7%) en los unilaterales (p = 0,027). La mortalidad fue de 10 casos (5,2%) en los bilaterales y de 55 (4%) en el grupo control. Se encontraron como factores significativos de recidiva: sexo masculino (p = 0,022), la ingesta de fármacos anticoagulantes/antiagregantes (p = 0,032) y la mala situación clínica al ingreso (p = 0,039). Conclusiones: El HSCB afecta de manera importante a los varones y la forma de presentación más habitual es la cefalea. Los factores más importantes que influyen en las recidivas son el sexo masculino, la ingesta de fármacos anticoagulantes/antiagregantes y la peor situación clínica al ingreso. Los índices de recidiva fueron significativamente superiores a los unilaterales


Objective: The aim of this study is to analyse the clinical findings and surgical results in a series of patients with bilateral chronic subdural haematoma (BCSDH), and compare the results with a series of patients treated for unilateral chronic subdural haematoma (UCSDH). Patients and methods: A retrospective study was performed on 1523 patients diagnosed and surgically treated for chronic subdural haematoma over a period of 30 years. Patients were divided into 2 groups: The study group consisting of 190 patients operated on for a BCSDH and the control group consisting of patients operated on for an UCSDH (1333 cases). Results: The patient series included 126 males (66.3%) and 64 females (33.7%), with a mean age at diagnosis of 74.8 ± 10.2. The control group consisted of 870 males (65.2%) and 463 women (34.8%), with a mean age of 73.2 ± 12.1. The most common presenting symptoms was cognitive impairment in 63 patients (33.2%) with BCSDH and 416 (29.5%) with UCSDH. Recurrence rates were 9.4% (18 patients) and 5.7% (77 patients) in unilateral and bilateral haematomas, respectively. The mortality was 10 patients (5.2%) with BCSDH and 55(4%) with UCSDH. Factors significantly related to recurrence in the univariate analysis were being male (P = .040), anticoagulant/antiplatelet therapy (P = .032), and poor neurological status at admission (P = .039). Conclusions: This study indicates that BCSDH is more frequent in males, and the most common presentation is headache. The most important factors influencing recurrences are being male, intake of anticoagulant-antiaggregant drugs, and worse clinical status at admission

RESUMO

Los quistes aracnoideos son lesiones quísticas con un contenido similar al líquido cefalorraquídeo. Representan alrededor del 1% de todas las lesiones expansivas intracraneales y son característicos de las dos primeras décadas de la vida, aunque en ocasiones se diagnostican en adultos. Presentamos una revisión sobre nuestra experiencia en el tratamiento quirúrgico de quistes aracnoideos intracraneales. Material y métodos: Realizamos una revisión de 103 niños menores de 16 años intervenidos quirúrgicamente por un quiste aracnoideo intracraneal en los que se empleó una derivación cistoperitoneal en 53 casos; una craneotomía con fenestración del quiste, en 44 niños, y 11 casos con fenestración por vía endoscópica. Resultados: En todos los pacientes se consiguió alivio de la sintomatología y reducción o desaparición del quiste. Se presentaron 21 complicaciones quirúrgicas: 12 en los pacientes tratados con válvula (22.6%) y 9 en los sometidos a craneotomía (20.4%). La mortalidad de la serie fue de dos casos (1.95%). Discusión y conclusiones: El tratamiento de los quistes aracnoideos intracraneales debe reservarse exclusivamente para los casos sintomáticos. La craneotomía con fenestración de las membranas y la derivación cistoperitoneal son buenas opciones de tratamiento, ya que consiguen un buen control, tanto del tamaño del quiste como en la resolución de la sintomatología. La mejor opción terapéutica es en la actualidad la fenestración endoscópica, ya que se trata de una técnica poco invasiva, que no requiere la implantación de materiales extraños y cuyo índice de complicaciones y recidivas es relativamente bajo...

RESUMO

Introducción. La hipotensión intracraneal espontánea es un cuadro clínico originado por una fístula de líquido cefalorraquídeo en la zona espinal. Se caracteriza por la presencia de cefalea ortostática, a la que se puede asociar un conglomerado de síntomas indicativos de afectación de diferentes estructuras tanto craneales como espinales. Casos clínicos. Presentamos los casos de dos varones jóvenes que comenzaron con cefalea ortostática. En las pruebas de imagen se observaron, además, colecciones líquidas extraaxiales intracraneales con un realce paquimeníngeo intenso. En ambos casos se diagnosticó fístula de líquido cefalorraquídeo en la región dorsal y los pacientes fueron tratados satisfactoriamente mediante el empleo de un parche hemático. Conclusiones. La hipotensión intracraneal espontánea no es una patología infrecuente. Habitualmente presenta problemas diagnósticos debido a la diversidad sintomatológica que puede exhibir. La resonancia magnética es fundamental para el diagnóstico al mostrar un realce paquimeníngeo, y para evidenciar la fuga de líquido cefalorraquídeo son útiles la resonancia magnética espinal, la mielografía asistida por tomografía computarizada o la cisternogammagrafía. Si falla el tratamiento conservador, el parche hemático consigue buenos resultados. Se recurre a la cirugía como última opción (AU)


Introduction. Spontaneous intracranial hypotension is caused by spontaneous spinal cerebrospinal fluid leaks and is known for causing orthostatic headaches, and a wide variety of associated symptoms have been reported. Case reports. We described two cases with spontaneous intracranial hypotension, treated in a short period of time, who presented with orthostatic headache and the neuroimaging studies showed subdural collections. Both patients were diagnosed of spinal cerebrospinal fluid leaks and treated with blood patches. Conclusions. Although intracranial hypotension is not an uncommon pathology, it usually presents diagnostic problems due to the diversity of symptoms that can occur. MRI is essential for the diagnosis by showing enhancement of the pachymeninges following administration of gadolinium and to prove the cerebrospinal fluid leak are useful spinal MRI, the computerized tomography myelography and the radionuclide cisternography. If conservative treatment falls, the epidural blood patch is the initial treatment of choice, reserving surgery for patients with persistent symptoms (AU)

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Meningioma is the most common primary intracranial tumor, accounting for around a third of all primary brain tumor. In most cases, they are benign neoplasms that start in the cells of the arachnoid mater. Meningiomas are typically slow growing; however they can metastasize in 0.1% of all patients. CASE REPORT: A 45-years-old woman was admitted with a four weeks history of a painless enlarging mass in the right side of his neck and present in a MRI recurrence of the frontal meningioma surgically removed four times over the last 18 years. The patient underwent a complete removal of lesions and the microscopic observation showed an anaplastic meningioma in both (grade III of the World Health Organization). CONCLUSIONS: Metastatic meningioma is a rare cause of neck mass, but should be considered in any patient with a history of meningioma, especially if the tumor has histological features of malignant behavior. The present case demonstrates the aggressive biologic potential of an intracranial meningioma, with potential for distant spread and lymphatic invasion.

RESUMO

Introducción. Los meningiomas constituyen el tumor intracraneal más frecuente y representan una tercera parte de todos los tumores cerebrales primarios. En la mayoría de las ocasiones se trata de una neoplasia histológicamente benigna derivada de células aracnoideas, y en menos del 0,1% de los casos pueden presentar metástasis a distancia. Caso clínico. Mujer de 45 años que mostraba desde hacía cuatro semanas una tumoración dolorosa en la cara lateral derecha del cuello. En una resonancia magnética se objetivaba recidiva de un meningioma intracraneal intervenido en cuatro ocasiones en los últimos 18 años. Se realizó la extirpación del tumor intracraneal y de la masa cervical y el diagnóstico histológico de ambas lesiones demostró un meningioma anaplásico de grado III según la clasificación de la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Conclusiones. Las metástasis de los meningiomas son una causa poco frecuente de tumoración cervical; sin embargo, deben tenerse en consideración en pacientes que han sido intervenidos previamente de un meningioma que evidenciaba datos histológicos de malignidad. Nuestro caso demuestra el potencial agresivo que pueden tener ciertos meningiomas intracraneales con capacidad para diseminarse a distancia e invadir los ganglios linfáticos (AU)

RESUMO

Our review of the literature is basically focused on the primary prophylaxis of early seizures after surgery of cerebral supratentorial tumors, with the aim of suggesting several recommendations in medical antiepileptic treatment to avoid this kind of seizures which occur immediately after surgery. In conclusion, it is recommended to provide criteria for prophylaxis of early seizures after surgery of cerebral supratentorial tumors. It́s recommended a one week treatment with antiepileptic drugs in patients who didnt have seizures jet, starting immediately after the surgical treatment. If seizures appear during progress of the disease, a large period treatment will be needed. Preferred antiepileptic treatment is intravenous and with a low interactions profile. Levetiracetam, followed by valproic acid seem to be most appropriated drugs due to their properties and protective effects, particularly for our patients requirements. These recommendations are considered a general proposal to effective clinical management of early seizures after surgery, not taking into account the single circumstances of our patients. Always, clinical features of the patients could modify even significantly these guides in the benefit of each patient.

RESUMO

Con la finalidad de proponer una serie de recomendaciones del tratamiento médico antiepiléptico, en el perioperatorio de los tumores cerebrales supratentoriales, se realiza una revisión de la literatura enfocada sobre todo a la profilaxis primaria de las crisis epilépticas precoces acaecidas en el postoperatorio inmediato. Se concluye que es recomendable pautar profilaxis primaria antiepiléptica poscirugía durante una semana en los pacientes con tumor cerebral supratentorial que no han presentado crisis epilépticas. Si las crisis aparecen durante la evolución de la enfermedad, es necesario pautar un tratamiento a largo plazo. Dadas las características de estos pacientes, se recomienda usar un fármaco antiepiléptico con presentación por vía intravenosa y un perfil bajo de interacciones. El levetiracetam, seguido del valproato, parecen ser los más adecuados. Dichas recomendaciones deben considerarse como una guía general de manejo, pudiendo ser modificadas, incluso de manera significativa, por las circunstancias propias de cada caso clínico (AU)

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Primary bone lymphomas account for 3-7% of all malignant bone tumours and less than 2% of lymphomas in adults. Having the cranial vault as their primary location is very infrequent. CASE REPORT: A 59-year-old female who presented a painful tumour on the cranial vault which, following radical surgical removal, was found to be an ALK-negative primary large-cell lymphoma. CONCLUSIONS: After reviewing the literature we believe that this is the first case of cranial vault lymphoma in which the translocation of the ALK protein-producing gene has been studied.

Introducción. Los linfomas primarios del hueso representan el 3-7% de todos los tumores óseos malignos de los huesos y menos del 2% de todos los linfomas del adulto. Su localización primaria en la bóveda craneal es excepcional. Caso clínico. Mujer de 59 años que presentó una tumoración dolorosa sobre la calota craneal y que tras la extirpación quirúrgica radical se comprobó que se trataba de un linfoma primario de células grandes ALK negativo. Conclusión. Tras la revisión de la bibliografía consideramos que se trata del primer caso de linfoma de calota craneal en el que se estudió la traslocación del gen productor de la proteína ALK (AU)


Introduction. Primary bone lymphomas account for 3-7% of all malignant bone tumours and less than 2% of lymphomas in adults. Having the cranial vault as their primary location is very infrequent. Case report. A 59-year-old female who presented a painful tumour on the cranial vault which, following radical surgical removal, was found to be an ALK-negative primary large-cell lymphoma. Conclusions. After reviewing the literature we believe that this is the first case of cranial vault lymphoma in which the translocation of the ALK protein-producing gene has been studied (AU)
