The Pierre-Robin Syndrome (PRS) is a rare congenital abnormality, with an approximately 1/30,000 estimated rate, characterized by the presence of the combination of mandibular hypoplasia (micrognathia or small jaw), glossoptosis (retrusion of the tongue into the pharyngeal airway) and, often, a
Many management approaches have been considered to relieve upper respiratory obstruction in patients with Pierre Robin sequence, but the choice of treatment is determined by the severity of the obstruction. These options include prone positioning, the use of a nasal trumpet, and surgery. One
A 44-year-old male with Pierre Robin syndrome and funnel chest was diagnosed with a tumor of the cerebellar vermis and spontaneous pneumothorax. He received tube thoracostomy for pneumothorax and ventriculoperitoneal shunt for hydrocephalus, followed by radiological examination, subtotal removal of
We present two patients with AIDS complicated by cryptococcal meningitis who displayed focal hypodense nonenhancing lesions in CT in the basal ganglia with corresponding areas of increased T2 and decreased T1 signal on magnetic resonance (MR). These lesions corresponded precisely to the distribution
OBJECTIVE
Edema-like change along the optic tract commonly occurs in association with craniopharyngiomas. The aim of this study was to clarify whether it occurs in association with other common pituitary region tumors and to elucidate its mechanism as seen on MR images.
METHODS
Fifty patients with
Neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) is a clinical syndrome characterized by the acute onset of pulmonary edema following a significant central nervous system insult. Only a few cases of NPE after Cryptococcal meningitis have been reported. We report a case of NPE following Cryptococcal
A 30-year-old female with known Pierre Robin sequence presented to the emergency department of the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital, Melbourne, with acute unilateral hydrops as her first presentation of bilateral keratoconus. Initial management consisted of eye patching, hypertonic saline and
Congenital heart disease occurs in about 20 percent of patients with Pierre Robin syndrome. Ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, and atrial septal defect are the most common congenital cardiac lesions in this syndrome. The associated upper airway obstruction can produce cor
Amorphorous and colorless spaces, Virchow-Robin spaces (VRS), were often found by HE stain around blood vessels in the edematous brain. Histochemical characteristic of the enlarged VRS caused by an advanced edema and detected by lectin stain using Griffonia simplicifolia I agglutinin in the brain
BACKGROUND
The occurrence of epilepsy is higher among elderly patients. The clinical manifestations of seizures, causes of epilepsy, and choice of anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) are different in elderly people with epilepsy compared to the young.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the imaging (CT/MRI) observations
A 61-year-old man with critical aortic stenosis underwent aortic valve replacement. Mechanical ventilation was applied because of postoperative acute pulmonary edema accompanied by poor ventilation and poor oxygenation, and the patient was also recannulized to an extracorporeal membranous
After reviewing the characteristics of neurogenic pulmonary edema, Theodore and Robin suggested that it was probably due to rupture of lung vessels by marked but transitory pulmonary hypertension. In this study, we have determined the effects of increased intracranial pressure in a sheep model in
OBJECTIVE
To review the authors' experience with neonates who underwent endoscopy over an 8-year period.
METHODS
Retrospective review in a tertiary care children's hospital.
METHODS
Sixty-two neonates who underwent endoscopy were reviewed.
RESULTS
Common indications for endoscopy were stridor (56%),
OBJECTIVE
Cranial pachymeningitis is a typically diffuse granulomatous disease, which often affects the tentorium and falx. We report a rare case of idiopathic cranial pachymeningoencephalitis focally affecting only the left parietal dura mater and adjacent inferior parietal lobule.
METHODS
