14. Atypical dermoid cyst of the corpus callosum: a case report.

Author

SPALLONE, A., IVANOVA, K., FERRANTE, L., and BELOGUROV JR., A. A.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Intracranial dermoid cysts (DCs) represent an infrequent subset of congenital ectodermal inclusion cysts predominantly observed near the midline structures. In spite of their benign nature, they can cause clinical manifestations, necessitating surgical removal as the main therapeutic measure. CASE REPORT: We present here an extremely rare case characterized by a radiologically atypical dermoid cyst located within the corpus callosum, an extremely rare location for such tumors. Successful surgical excision resulted in good clinical outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: This paper underscores the importance of a timely, proper radiological diagnostic process, which sees magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as the main step, as well as the fact that interpretation of MRI data can sometimes be challenging, as it was in the patient of this report.

Abstract

This article discusses the incidence and mortality rates of malperfusion syndrome in patients with acute Type A aortic dissection after surgical repair. The study, conducted across 18 European centers, included 3,902 patients. It found that 45.62% of patients presented with signs of preoperative malperfusion, with the most common type being cerebral malperfusion. The study also showed that rates of in-hospital mortality increased with the severity of malperfusion. The authors conclude that different levels of the Penn classification can be used as valid predictors of mortality. [Extracted from the article]

Author

Abstract

Flebogrif® (Balton, Poland) is a novel mechanochemical ablation (MOCA) device for saphenous vein insufficiency. It combines endothelial damage performed by radial retractable cutting hooks together with chemical ablation through sclerosant injection of 3% polidocanol foam according to its IFU. The objective of this study is to evaluate Flebogrif's efficacy in terms of recanalization rate and recurrence by varying polidocanol foam concentrations.

Abstract

Background: Acute Stanford type A aortic dissection (TAAD) is a life-threatening condition. Surgery is usually performed as a salvage procedure and is associated with significant postoperative early mortality and morbidity. Understanding the patient’s conditions and treatment strategies which are associated with these adverse events is essential for an appropriate management of acute TAAD. Methods: Nineteen centers of cardiac surgery from seven European countries have collaborated to create a multicentre observational registry (ERTAAD), which will enroll consecutive patients who underwent surgery for acute TAAD from January 2005 to March 2021. Analysis of the impact of patient’s comorbidities, conditions at referral, surgical strategies and perioperative treatment on the early and late adverse events will be performed. The investigators have developed a classification of the urgency of the procedure based on the severity of preoperative hemodynamic conditions and malperfusion secondary to acute TAAD. The primary clinical outcomes will be in-hospital mortality, late mortality and reoperations on the aorta. Secondary outcomes will be stroke, acute kidney injury, surgical site infection, reoperation for bleeding, blood transfusion and length of stay in the intensive care unit. Discussion: The analysis of this multicentre registry will allow conclusive results on the prognostic importance of critical preoperative conditions and the value of different treatment strategies to reduce the risk of early adverse events after surgery for acute TAAD. This registry is expected to provide insights into the long-term durability of different strategies of surgical repair for TAAD. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04831073.

Abstract

Purpose: In overwhelmed emergency departments (EDs) facing COVID-19 outbreak, a swift diagnosis is imperative. CT role was widely debated for its limited specificity. Here we report the diagnostic role of CT in two EDs in Lombardy, epicenter of Italian outbreak. Material and methods: Admitting chest CT from 142 consecutive patients with suspected COVID-19 were retrospectively analyzed. CT scans were classified in "highly likely," "likely," and "unlikely" COVID-19 pneumonia according to the presence of typical, indeterminate, and atypical findings, or "negative" in the absence of findings, or "alternative diagnosis" when a different diagnosis was found. Nasopharyngeal swab results, turnaround time, and time to positive results were collected. CT diagnostic performances were assessed considering RT-PCR as reference standard. Results: Most of cases (96/142, 68%) were classified as "highly likely" COVID-19 pneumonia. Ten (7%) and seven (5%) patients were classified as "likely" and "unlikely" COVID-19 pneumonia, respectively. In 21 (15%) patients a differential diagnosis was provided, including typical pneumonia, pulmonary edema, neoplasia, and pulmonary embolism. CT was negative in 8/142 (6%) patients. Mean turnaround time for the first COVID-19 RT-PCR was 30 ± 13 h. CT diagnostic accuracy in respect of the first test swab was 79% and increased to 91.5% after repeated swabs and/or BAL, for 18 false-negative first swab. CT performance was good with 76% specificity, 99% sensitivity, 90% positive predictive value and 97% negative predictive value. Conclusion: Chest CT was useful to streamline patients' triage while waiting for RT-PCR in the ED, supporting the clinical suspicion of COVID-19 or providing alternative diagnosis.
