Objective:To describe the clinical outcomes of a cohort of consecutive pediatric moyamoya patients of ischemic type undergoing modified EDAS (encephaloduroarterio-synangiosis).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on the clinical and radiographic data of 26 patients with moyamoya disease consecutively admitted to Department of Neurosurgery, Children′s Hospital Affiliated to the Capital Institute of Pediatrics in the period from June 2016 to June 2019. The 26 children underwent superficial temporal artery EDAS, superficial temporal artery (STA) EDAS with bilateral frontal encephalogaleoperiosteal synangiosis (EGS), or occipital artery EDAS combined with multiple burr-hole (MBH). During operation, the arachnoid membrane over the M4 segment of MCA was opened under the pathway of arterial band and dural inversion was performed. Neurological function outcomes after the operation were evaluated according to the modified Rankin Scale (mRS).Results:Among 26 patients with ischemic momyamoya disease, 12 underwent bilateral. A total of 39 surgical procedures were performed and included 37 procedures of superficial temporal artery EDAS, 1 procedure of superficial temporal artery EDAS combined wih bifrontal EGS, and 1 procedure of occipital artery EDAS combined with MBH. One patient developed subcutaneous and intracranial hematomas postoperatively which were resolved by pressure dressing. There was no perioperative death. The follow-up duration of the children was 17.1±1.3 months (3-39 months). Out of 39 procedures, 38 led to the results of TIA (transient ischemic attack)-free or improvement of ischemic stroke without new infarction during 2 months post operation. There was no symptomatic improvement in 1 procedure, and the effectiveness of the operation was 97.4% (38/39). The mRS scores of 26 patients in 3 months after surgery were all scored ≤ 2 points. A total of 29 cases of vascular imaging follow-up examination at 3 months post surgery showed that the branches of the external carotid artery provided blood supply to the brain tissues, consisting of STA (or occipital artery) plus middle meningeal artery (MMA) in 26 cases and merely MMA in 3 cases.Conclusion:Modified EDAS is a safe and effective procedure for ischemic pediatric moyamoya disease, which could increase blood supply region, enhance the effective rate of cerebral vascular reconstruction and thus improve the neurological functions of the patients.
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of intracranial tuberculoma and its diagnosis and outcomes of surgical treatment.Methods In this retrospective study,clinical data including manifestations,imaging,laboratory tests and surgical outcomes of 8 adults were analyzed who were consecutively identified with intracranial tuberculoma from August 2013 to April 2016 at Department of Neurosurgery,Beijing Ditan Hospital,Capital Medical University.Results Among the 8 patients with intracranial tuberculoma,the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection was identified in 4 cases and tuberculosis (TB) involving other systems was found in 3 cases.Out of the 8 patients,lesions were supratentorial in 5 cases and located in posterior fossa of the remaining 3 cases.Seven cases underwent total resection and stereotactic biopsy was performed in 1 case.Pathological acid-fast stain demonstrated positive results and confirmed the diagnosis of tuberculoma.All the patients were regularly treated with antituberculosis drugs.One case died from HIV-related complications 1 year post operation and the rest recovered well.Conclusions The clinical characteristics of intracranial tuberculoma vary depending on its location.The supratentorial tuberculoma commonly caused epilepsy and headache and the subtentorial lesion often presented with symptoms related to high intracranial pressure due to hydrocephalus.The diagnosis should be based on a combination of clinical manifestations,imaging features,laboratory examination and antituberculosis efficacy.With strict following of its indications,surgical treatment might be effective.
