  • The authors present a case of 68-year-old woman who underwent resection of a metastatic adenocarcinoma in the left parietooccipital area. The intraoperative course was uneventful; however, after closure of the scalp incision, increased bleeding from the suture line was noted. A computerized tomography scan that was performed immediately after operation revealed acute epidural hemorrhage with mass effect under the bone flap. The patient developed disseminated intravascular coagulation and immediate re-exploration was performed. This patient was successfully treated owing to early recognition of the condition and immediate treatment with transfusion. Neurosurgeons should be alert that hypercoagulabe state is common in cancer patients and consumptive coagulopathy can occur after resection of metastatic brain tumor.

  • Pancreatic trauma occurs in 0.2% of patients with blunt trauma and 5% of severe abdominal injuries, which are associated with high mortality rates (up to 60%). Traumatic pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) has significant morbidity and appreciable mortality owing to complicating factors, associated injuries, and shock. The initial reconstruction in patients with severe pancreatic injuries aggravates their status by causing hypothermia, coagulopathy, and acidosis, which increase the risk for early mortality. A staging operation in which PD follows damage control surgery is a good option for hemodynamically unstable patients. We report the case of a patient who was treated by staging PD for an injured pancreatic head.

  • 엔테로바이러스 감염은 신생아에게 흔히 일어나며, 경한 감염에서부터 다기관 부전이나 사망에까지 이를 수 있다. 특히, 출생 시 모체로부터 수직 감염된 신생아들의 경우 심각한 질환에 이르게 될 수 있다. 본 증례의 환아는 모체에게서 엔테로바이러스의 수직 감염이 일어났으며, 파종 혈관내 응고장애, 간염, 그리고 심근염으로 빠르게 진행하였다. 환아가 태어난 시기가 엔테로바이러스의 유병률이 높은 6월인 점, 환아의 어머니와 형제에게서 고열이 있었던 점, 임상 증상 등을 고려하여 저자들은 환아가 엔테로바이러스의 수직 감염 가능성이 있다고 보고 검사와 치료를 진행하였다. 이 환아는 빈맥을 동반한 다양한 형태의 부정맥을 보였으며, 일반적인 치료에 반응을 잘 하지 않았으나, 엔테로바이러스 감염을 조기에 의심하고 치료하여 완전히 회복할 수 있었다. 신생아의 엔테로바이러스 감염에서, 응고장애를 동반한 간염과 심근염이 동시에 오는 경우는 드물다. 본 증례에서, 저자들은 응고장애를 동반한 간염과 다양한 형태의 부정맥을 동반한 엔테로바이러스 수직 감염을 조기에 진단하고 성공적으로 치료하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

  • 본 연구는 2007년 1월부터 2015년 12월까지 본원에서 쯔쯔가무시병으로 진단을 받고 치료 중인 상태에서 뇌경색이 발생하거나, 뇌경색이 생겨 입원 치료를 받던 중 쯔쯔가무시병이 발견된 16명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 급성기 뇌경색의 진단은 뇌자기공명영상 및 뇌자기공명혈관영상으로 하였으며 쯔쯔가무시병의 진단은 PCR (Polymerase chain reaction)로 하였다. 일반적인 뇌경색과 쯔쯔가무시병을 동반한 뇌경색의 차이점을 구별하기 위해 내원시 혈압과 체온을 측정하여 보았다. 일반적으로 급성기 뇌경색에서는 혈압이 올라가는데 흥미롭게도 본 연구에서는 수축기 혈압이 130mmHg 미만인 환자가 12명으로 급성기 뇌경색에서 흔히 보이는 혈압 양상과는 다른 모습을 보였다. 쯔쯔가무시병을 동반한 뇌경색의 특징을 알아보기 위해 발병 위치 및 단일 혹은 다발성 뇌경색 여부를 확인하여 보았는데, 앞순환 동맥 영역의 뇌경색 발생 환자가 13명이었으며 뒤순환 동맥 영역의 뇌경색 발생 환자는 3명이었다. 응고장애를 진단하기 위해 트롬보플라스틴시간(Prothrombin Time, PT), 활성화부분트롬보플라스틴시간(activated partial thromboplastin time, aPTT), D-dimer, 섬유소원(fibrinogen), 섬유소분해산물(fibrin degradation product, FDP)를 기록하였다. 뇌경색시 일반적으로 수치가 증가하는 것으로 알려진 D-dimer의 경우 13명의 환자에서 큰 폭의 증가 소견을 보였다. 섬유소분해산물(FDP)는 15명의 환자에서 큰 폭의 증가 소견을 보였다. 쯔쯔가무시병의 병태생리학적 기전은 혈관염으로 알려져 있는데 이로 인한 대뇌혈관의 내피세포 손상 및 증식이 있을 수 있고 그 과정에서 응고장애가 동반되어 뇌경색이 발생할 수 있다. 또는 내피세포 손상 및 증식이 없더라도 혈관염으로 인한 혈관연축이 발생하여 혈관수축이 오며 뇌경색이 발생 할 수도 있다.

  • 미숙아에 동반된 동맥관 개존증에서 indomethacin에 의한 폐쇄치료법이 소개된후 비수술적 치료방법 으로 각광을 받아왔으나, 증상이 있는 동맥관 개존증의 수술적 폐쇄는 가장 확실하고 안전한 치료법으 로 다시 평가받고 있다. 저자들은 최근에 체중 540gm과 1395gm 미숙아에서 indomethacin에 반응하지 않는 개존동맥 관을 clip 결찰하였다. 540gm의 미숙아는 술후 28시간에 사망하였는데 심한 혈소판 감소증을 보이는 등 출혈성 소인으로 이한 출혈이 원인이 되었다. 두 번째 미숙아 역시 indomethacin치료에도 호전이 없었으며 입원 8일째 괴 사성 소장결장염 합병으로 인한 회장천공으로 수술받았다. 체중증가가 없고 인공호흡기 이탈이 불가능 하여 입원 34일에 개존동맥관을 결찰하고동시에 회장조루복원술을시행하였다. 술후 6일째 인공호흡 기를 제거할 수 있었고 술후 33일에 체중 2050gm에 달하여 양호한 상태로 퇴원하였다.

  • It is uncommon for pediatric patients with rhabdomyosarcoma to present with clinical and/or laboratory features of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). We report a case of metastatic alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma with severe bleeding because of DIC in a 13-year-old boy. He experienced persistent oozing at the site of a previous operation, gross hematuria, and massive epistaxis. Two weeks after initiating combination chemotherapy consisting of vincristine, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide, the patients' laboratory indications of DIC began to resolve. During this period, the patient received massive blood transfusion of a total of 311 units (26 units of red blood cells, 26 units of fresh frozen plasma, 74 units of platelet concentrates, 17 units of single donor platelets, and 168 units of cryoprecipitate), antithrombin-III and a synthetic protease inhibitor. Despite chemotherapy and radiation therapy, he died 1 year later because of disease progression. In children with metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma and massive DIC, prompt chemotherapy and aggressive supportive care is important to decrease malignancy-triggered procoagulant activities.

  • Varicella is usually considered to be a benign disease in healthy children; however, serious complications can occur such as necrotizing fasciitis and toxic shock syndrome. We describe a 38-month-old girl with necrotizing fasciitis and streptococcal toxic shock syndrome following varicella. She was previously healthy and vaccinated against varicella at 12 months of age. She had been diagnosed with varicella three days prior to presenting at our facility; she developed fever, vomiting, and painful swelling on her left flank. Her skin lesions worsened, she became lethargic, and had episodes of hypotension and coagulopathy. Necrotizing fasciitis on the left abdominal wall, buttocks, and left thigh was diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging, and group A Streptococcus was isolated from a tissue culture. She was diagnosed as necrotizing fasciitis and streptococcal toxic shock syndrome, and successfully treated with repeated surgical debridement and fasciotomy, in addition to intensive antibiotics. Our experience suggests that necrotizing fasciitis in patients with varicella should be considered to be a rare complication even with widespread vaccine use. Early diagnosis and intensive treatment are required to prevent a fatal outcome.

  • We studied the effects of the acute intermittent peritoneal dialysis in severe acute renal failure of 1 newborn infant and 2 young infants during 18 months period from February 1985 to April 1986. The predisposing illnesses were severe acute gastroenteritis with dehydration. Reye's syndrome, and bilateral nephrolithiasis with hyperuricemia. The concomittent illnesses were severe hypernatremia, hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, hypocalcemia, hypoglycemia, DIC(disseminated intravascular coagulopathy), paralytic ileus, metabolic acidosis and gastrointestinal bleeding. As a dialvsate, Imperinol $solution^R$, 1.5% was used in all cases. The cycles of dialysis were 8, 16, and 41 times in each cases. Observed complications during dialysis were leakage, and abdominal wall and scrotol swelling in 2 cases, hyperglycemia in 1 case, and peritonitis in 1 case. Acinetobacter calcoaceticus was cultured in peritoneal fluid of peritonitis. These complications were treated by stopping dialysis in leakage and abdiminal wall swelling, insulin therapy in hyperglycemia, and intraperitoneal and systemic antibiotics therapy in peritonitis. We experienced improvements of severe acute renal failure with variable concomittant illnesses by acute intermittent peritoneal dialysis despite of the treatable complications of dialysis in all cases.

  • The case of postoperative hemorrhage occurring apart from the operative site as a complication of intracranial surgery is a rare malady, especially when it involves the cerebellum after supratentorial aneurysm surgery. In a review of the literature, the possible etiologies for cerebellar hemorrhage are: coagulopathy, intraoperative urokinase irrigation, excessive head rotation on positioning, brain shift due to excessive cerebrospinal fluid[CSF] and epidural hemovac drainage. We experienced six cases of cerebellar hemorrhage after supratentorial aneurysm surgery, and all of the patients were improved by instituting conservative medical treatment. The possible mechanism for the remote cerebellar hemorrhages seen in our series is probably a multifactorial effect, such as excessive epidural hemovac and CSF drainage, and jugular venous compression due to the operative position. The purpose of this report is to alert neurosurgeons to the existence of this syndrome and to suggest several ways of minimizing the possibility of their patients developing remote cerebellar hemorrhage.
