The dog with tetraplegia was presented for magnetic resonance imaging and cervical ventral slot decompression. Intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) was measured every hour after surgery, along with respiratory rate, heart rate, and arterial pressure. Three hours after surgery, abdominal distension with agitation and respiratory distress were observed, and IAP rose to 12 mmHg, indicating mild intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH). Additional fentanyl and ketamine CRI did not alleviate IAH and acepromazine (0.01 mg/kg, IV) was administered to alleviate the agitation and respiratory distress. After acepromazine administration, the agitation subsided and IAP dropped to 4 mmHg. During the next 24 hours, the patient's vital signs and IAP remained stable, with normal urine output. This case report suggests the possibility of postoperative IAH monitoring in dogs. However, considering the nature of a single surgical case of cervical ventral slot, further study is required for indication of IAH monitoring.

Accurate diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is the starting point for optimal treatment. Gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) is currently regarded as one of the first-line treatment options for medically refractory TN. GKRS is a less invasive treatment with a low risk of complications than other surgical procedures that provides a favorable pain control Barrow Neurological Institute (BNI) I-IIIb rate of >75% at short-term follow-up. Drawbacks of GKRS include the latency period before pain relief and higher recurrence rate compared with microvascular decompression. Therefore, repeat treatment is necessary if the initial GKRS was effective but followed by recurrence. The concept of dose rate and the biologically effective dose of radiation has been actively studied in radiation oncology and is also applied in GKRS for TN to achieve high safety and efficacy by prescribing the optimal dose. Recent progress in functional imaging, such as diffusion tensor imaging, enables us to understand the pathophysiology of TN and predict the clinical outcome after GKRS. Here, we review TN, GKRS, and recent updates, especially in the concepts of radiation dose, diffusion tensor imaging studies, and repeat treatment in GKRS for TN.

Pseudoaneurysms are rare but devastating complications of penetrating head traumas. They require rapid surgical or endovascular intervention due to their high risk of rupture; however, complex presentations may limit treatment options. Our objective is to report a case of severe vasospasm, flow diversion, and in-stent stenosis complicating the treatment of a middle cerebral artery pseudoaneurysm following a gunshot wound. A 33-year-old woman presented with multiple calvarial and bullet fragments within the right frontotemporal lobes and a large right frontotemporal intraparenchymal hemorrhage with significant cerebral edema. She underwent an emergent right hemicraniectomy for decompression, removal of bullet fragments, and evacuation of hemorrhage. Once stable enough for diagnostic cerebral angiography, she was found to have an M1 pseudoaneurysm with severe vasospasm that precluded endovascular treatment until the vasospasm resolved. The pseudoaneurysm was treated with flow diversion and in-stent stenosis was found at 4-month follow-up angiography that resolved by 8 months post-embolization. We report the successful flow diversion of an middle cerebral artery (MCA) pseudoaneurysm complicated by severe vasospasm and later in-stent stenosis. The presence of asymptomatic stenosis is believed to be reversible intimal hyperplasia and a normal aspect of endothelial healing. We suggest careful observation and dual-antiplatelet therapy as a justified approach.

Objective : The authors tried to reveal some unique features of lipomeningomyelocele (LMMC), including clinical presentation, factors precipitating onset of symptoms, pathologic entities of LMMC associated with tethered cord syndrome, and surgical outcome in LMMC patients. Methods : Seventy-five patients with LMMC were enrolled in this study. Neuro-imaging and intraoperative findings allowed classification of LMMC into three Types. The patients were divided into two groups by age : A (51 patients), from birth to 3 years, and B (24 patients), from 3 to 24 years. For prevention of retethering of the cord, a mega-dural sac rebuilding procedure was performed in 15 patients. Results : During a mean postoperative follow-up period of 4 years, the surgical outcome was satisfactory in terms of improved pain and motor weakness, but disappointing with reference to the resolution of bowel and bladder dysfunction. Among these 75 patients with LMMC, preoperative deficits were improved after surgery in 29 (39%), remained stable in 28 (37%), changed slightly in 13 (17%), and worsened in 5 (7%). Patients in group A achieved better outcomes than those in group B. Depending on the type of lesion, patients with types I and II LMMC have better outcomes than those with type III LMMC. Finally, retethering of the cord with neurological deterioration occurred in 4 (5.3%) of the 75 patients, but no retethering was found in the 15 patients who were recently treated with a mega-dural sac rebuilding procedure. Conclusion : Our data continue to support the opinion that early diagnosis and optimal surgery are still essential for the treatment of patients with LMMC, since there is a high likelihood of residual neurological functions that can be preserved. Based on our surgical experience of untethering and decompression of lipomas, a mega-dural sac repair is useful to prevent retethering of the cord.

Operative procedures such as core drilling with and without fibular bone grafting have been recognized as the treatment methods for osteonecrosis of femoral head(ONFH) by delaying or preventing the collapse of the femoral head. In addition, core drilling with cementation using polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) has been proposed recently as another surgical method. However, no definite treatment modality has been found yet while operative procedures remain controversial to many clinicians In this study, a finite element method(FEM) was employed to analyze and compare various surgical procedures of ONFH to provide a biomechanical insight. This study was based upon biomechanical findings which suggest stress concentration within the femoral head may facilitate the progression of the necrosis and eventual collapse. For this purpose, five anatomically relevant hip models were constructed in three dimensions : they were (1) intact(Type I), (2) necrotic(Type II), (3) core drilled only(Type III), (4) core drilled with fibular bone graft(Type IV), and (5) core drilled with cementation(Type V). Physiologically relevant loading were simulated. Resulting stresses were calculated. Our results showed that the volumetric percentage subjected to high stress in the necrotic cancellous region was greatest in the core drilled only model(Type III), followed by the necrotic(Type II), the bone graft (Type IV), and the cemented(Type V) models. Von Mises stresses at the tip of the graft(Type IV) was found to be twice more than those of cemented core(Type V) indicating the likelihood of the implant failure. In addition, stresses within the cemented core(Type V) were more evenly distributed and relatively lower than within the fibular bone graft(Type IV). In conclusion, our biomechanical analyses have demonstrated that the bone graft method(Type IV) and the cementation method(Type V) are both superior to the core decompression method(Type III) by reducing the high stress regions within the necrotic cancellous bone. Also it was found that the core region filled with PMMA(Type V) provides far smoother transfer of physiological load without causing the concentration of malignant stresses which may lead to the failure than with the fibular bone graft(Type IV). Therefore, considering the above results along with the degree of difficulties and risk of infection involved with preparation of the fibular bone graft, the cementation method appears to be a promising surgical treatment for the early stage of osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

온전한 심실중격을 가진 폐동맥 폐쇄증은 병변의 다양성으로 인하여 여러 가지의 외과적 술식이 요구되는 질환이다. 본 연구에서는 온전한 심실중격을 가진 폐동맥 폐쇄증으로 수술을 받은 환자들을 대상으로 수술 방법에 따른 결과 및 장기 성적에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1992년 1월부터 2004년 6월 사이에 외과적 치료를 받았던 총 38명의 환자들을 대상으로 하였다. 평균 연령은 18일$(2\~382일)$이었으며, 삼첨판막륜 크기의 평균 Z값은 $-3.1(-5.6\~0.8)$이었다. 우심실-관상동맥루를 동반한 환자는 13명$(36\%)$이었으며, 우심실의존 관상동맥순환을 보인 환자는 4명$(11\%)$이었다. 평균 추적기간은 55개월(3개월-12.2년)이었다. 결과: 24명의 환자들에서 우심실 감압술이 시행되었고, 14명의 환자들에서는 체폐동맥 단락술만이 시행되었다. 우심실 감압술을 시행받은 환자들의 평균 삼첨판막륜 Z-값은 $-2.2\pm1.1$로 체폐동맥 단락술만 시행받은 환자들의 평균 Z값 $-4.8\pm0.6$보다 컸다(p=0.000). 5명$(13\%)$의 조기 사망과 1명의 만기 사망이 발생하였다. 조기 사망은 우심실 감압술을 시행받은 환자들 중 3명$(13\%)$, 체페동맥 단락술만 시행받은 환자들 중에서 2명$(14\%)$이 발생하였다(p=1.0). 양심실 교정을 받은 환자가 12명$(32\%)$, 단심실 교정을 받은 환자가 8명$(21\%)$, 부분양심실 교정을 받은 환자가 4명$(11\%)$, 최종 교정을 기다리고 있는 환자가 9명$(24\%)$이었다. Kaplan-Meier방법으로 산출한 5년 및 8년 생존율은 $83.2\%$이었다. 결론: 대부분의 사망은 초기 수술 후에 발생하였으며, 양심실 혹은 단심실 교정을 의도한 군간에 사망률의 차이는 없었다. 전체적인 장기 생존율은 비교적 양호하였다. 환자 각각의 삼첨판막륜 및 우심실 크기, 그리고 관상동맥 이상 유무를 정확히 평가하여 적절한 수술 방법을 적용하면 조기 사망률의 개선을 기대할 수 있으리라 생각한다.

함치성 낭종은 미맹출치의 치관을 둘러싸는 퇴축법랑상피로부터 기원한다. 대부분의 함치성 낭은 적출술 또는 조대술로 치료된다. 조대술을 통해 낭 내부의 압력이 감소하고 골의 재생이 일어나면서 낭벽은 정상적인 점막으로 변하게 된다. 조대술은 적출술에 비해 인접 주요 구조물을 보호할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 본 증례는 5세와 11세 남아의 상악 정중 과잉치와 치수 치료된 하악 유구치 부위에서 발견된 각각의 함치성 낭종을 치료한 증례로 모두 낭의 크기가 2개 이상의 인접 영구치의 변위를 발생시킬 정도로 크기가 매우 컸다. 환자의 나이가 어리고 낭의 크기가 커서 조대술을 이용하여 치료하였고 그 결과 변위된 인접 영구치의 맹출 방향이 개선되고 방사선투과상의 크기가 점점 감소하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 본 증례와 같이 크기가 매우 큰 함치성 낭의 경우에서 조대술을 이용하여 치료할 경우 위치가 변이된 인접치아를 보존하고 영구치의 자연 맹출을 유도할 수 있는 양호한 결과가 예상되기에 보고하는 바이다.
