Prognostic factors and outcome of children with severe head injury: an 8-year experience.

The caudal portion of the spinal cord, the medullary cord, is formed by secondary neurulation. One of the distinctive features of secondary neurulation compared to primary neurulation is that the medullary cord normally degenerates into a filum in humans. Various anomalies have been known to originate from degenerating process errors. One anomaly is terminal myelocystocele (TMCC), which is a closed spinal dysraphism with an elongated caudal spinal cord. The terminal part is filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and protrudes into the dorsal extradural space. Another anomaly is the retained medullary cord (RMC), which is a nonfunctioning cord-like structure extending to the cul-de-sac. In a 1-month-old boy, we identified an RMC with cystic dilatation of the caudal end extending to the epidural space at the very bottom of the cul-de-sac, resembling a degenerating terminal balloon, which is an essential feature of TMCC. Hence, this case may be considered an intermediate form between TMCC and RMC. This case provides clinical evidence that TMCC and RMC share the same pathoembryogenic origin, namely, failure of the regression phase of secondary neurulation.

Management of cerebral edema in infants is challenging. Decompressive craniectomy in young age has shown favorable outcomes for management of intracranial hypertension, but current literature is scarce and consists of only case reports or small series. The purpose of the current study is to report the challenges faced with this procedure and its complications in this peculiar age group.

Decompressive craniectomy for infants: a case series of five patients.

Nonmissile intracranial penetrating injury (IPI) in pediatric population is rare. Here, we report the exceedingly rare case of a 5-month-old infant sustained by a metallic clothes fork penetrating into his left forehead. The little baby was identified to carry a traumatic hemorrhagic shock, and a multidisciplinary team (MDT) was immediately established response for whole-course evaluation and decision-making. Computed tomography revealed that the clothes fork had impaled into the left frontal bone and brain parenchyma with about 3.2 cm inside the cranial vault. The infant underwent emergency surgery, and the clothes fork was removed jointly by MDT members under general anesthesia in the retrograde direction. His recovery was uneventful and was followed up 2 years without growth and developmental abnormality. As an extremely rare entity with distinct age-related characteristics, a MDT approach is a best choice and effective strategy to manage infant nonmissile IPI, including preoperative management, surgical treatment, and even following rehabilitation.

Pediatric hydrocephalus imposes a significant clinical and financial burden in developing countries. Traditional treatment by ventricular shunting in this setting suffers a high rate of shunt infection and malfunction. This study aims at assessing the efficacy and safety of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV), either alone or combined with choroid plexus cauterization (CPC), for preventing shunt dependence in pediatric hydrocephalus within a healthcare setting of a tertiary hospital in Egypt.

Abstract Introduction In an effort to maximize benefit and minimize morbidity when performing fronto-orbital distraction osteogenesis (FODO) for unilateral coronal synostosis (UCS), we have transitioned to an endoscopic-assisted approach (“endo-FODO”). This study compares photogrammetric outcomes of patients who underwent FODO via an endoscopic-assisted versus open approach. Methods We retrospectively reviewed patients treated for UCS from 2013 to 2023. Photogrammetric outcomes at one to three years postoperatively were compared between patients who underwent endo-FODO and age- and sex-matched controls who underwent open FODO. Differences between pre- and postoperative periorbital symmetry ratios, canthal tilt symmetry, and orbital dystopia angle (ODA) were calculated. Results Twenty patients (ten per group) underwent surgery at a mean age of 6.1 ± 1.8 and 5.4 ± 1.1 months ( p = 0.426) and were photographed at 1.6 ± 0.9 and 1.8 ± 0.9 years ( p = 0.597) postoperatively in the endo-FODO and open FODO groups, respectively. Patients who underwent endo-FODO demonstrated significant improvements in margin-reflex distance 1 (MRD1) symmetry ratio ( p = 0.004), palpebral height symmetry ratio ( p = 0.004), canthal tilt symmetry ( p = 0.020), and ODA ( p = 0.009). Patients who underwent open FODO likewise demonstrated significant improvements in MRD1 symmetry ratio ( p = 0.004), palpebral height symmetry ratio ( p = 0.033), and ODA ( p = 0.004). All postoperative measurements as well as degrees of improvement were similar between groups ( p &gt; 0.05). Conclusions Endo- and open FODO were associated with significant and comparable improvements in soft tissue periorbital symmetry and orbital dystopia at nearly two years postoperatively. While continued follow-up until cranial maturity is needed to assess the durability of aesthetic results, these data support a minimally invasive, endoscopic alternative to fronto-orbital distraction.

Ventriculoperitoneal shunt malfunction is a common complication in patients with lifelong hydrocephalus. We present a case of a 40-year-old man who successfully underwent endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) for shunt malfunction following neonatal meningitis. Despite long-term shunt dependency and an infectious etiology, ETV effectively managed his hydrocephalus, probably due to aqueductal stenosis and preserved cerebrospinal fluid absorption. This suggests that ETV is a viable option for adult hydrocephalus patients experiencing shunt malfunction, even those with lifelong shunt dependency and a history of infectious etiology.
