Abstract

We present as case to review and present the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of non-functional pituitary carcinoma (NFPC). We operated on a case of NFPC. After surgery, gamma knife therapy, temozolomide chemotherapy and whole craniospinal irradiation, the patient still had poor tumor control and died 7 months after operation. NFPC is very rare. It needs to be diagnosed with a combination of clinical suspicion, imaging and dynamic monitoring. It is necessary to find more effective methods to control the progress of tumor while routine treatment fails. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Introduction: We report the successful treatment of a patient who, following vestibular schwannoma resection, developed intracranial infection caused by multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MRAB). Case Presentation: The patient was diagnosed with multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infection based on clinical manifestations and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture. The treatment included external ventricular drainage, posterior fossa decompressive craniectomy, endoscopic lavage for fourth ventricle, subdural drainage, and intravenous injection/ventricular irrigation of sulperazone. The MRAB-induced intracranial infection was successfully cured. The follow-up lasted for 84 months, and the patient has resumed normal life and work. Conclusion: Active individualized treatment should be administered at the earliest. The drainage of CSF, ventricular lavage, and proper choice of antibiotics are key to treat intracranial infections caused by multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Guidewire retention during an interventional treatment is a very rare complication that can lead to possible serious complications, such as thrombosis, embolization, sepsis, and perforation. Hence, a retained guidewire must be retrieved as soon as possible. Here, we provide the first report of a case of accidental retention of a 0.035" J guidewire in the right atrium and aortic arch during basilar artery aneurysm embolization. We found that due to the heavier weight of the J guidewire and its hydrophilic-coated layer, it could not be removed using previously reported methods for micro-guidewire retention. Therefore, we constructed a self-invented snare device consisting of a 0.014" microguidewire and a 4-Fr MP-A1 catheter and successfully retrieved the J guidewire, thus avoiding open surgery and its associated serious complications. According to our experience, this novel technique described here is quite easy to perform, safe, effective, can avoid serious complications and prevent the need for open surgery.
