Category: Ankle, Arthroscopy, Sports Introduction/Purpose: Peroneal tendon disorders frequently result in refractory posterolateral ankle and hindfoot pain which disables patients from daily activity and sports. Diagnosis can be challenging in certain cases of peroneal tendon pathology, such as subluxation and stenosis. Additionally, traditional open surgery is associated with complications including surgical scarring and injury to the sural nerve. Therefore peroneal tendoscopy has gained popularity as an effective diagnostic and treatment procedure. Recently tendoscopic groove deepening technique has been reported for the treatment of chronic subluxation or stenosing tenosynovitis of peroneal tendons. In this case series, we present the effectiveness of tendoscopic groove deepening procedure for subluxation or stenosis of the peroneal tendons. Methods: A retrospective cohort study investigating patients treated with tendoscopic groove deepening the fibular groove and concentrated bone marrow (CBMA) injection for the treatment of peroneal subluxation or stenosing peroneal tenosynovitis. Retrospective chart review was performed, and clinical outcomes were evaluated using the Foot and Ankle Outcome Scores (FAOS) and Short-Form 12 (SF-12) preoperatively and at final follow-up. Results: Twenty patients diagnosed with subluxation and/or stenosis were included. The mean age was 35.1±9.2 years and the mean follow-up time was 32.5±12.4 months. Mean symptoms, pain, daily activities, sports activities and quality of life scores in FAOS significantly improved from 56.8, 74.1, 72.3, 36.2 and 22.7 preoperatively to 86.5, 83.2, 92.3, 70.2 and 63.8 postoperatively, respectively at final follow-up (p<0.001). The mean SF-12 significantly improved from 48.7 to 75.8 postoperatively (p<0.001). No superior peroneal retinaculaum repair was perfumed in all subluxation cases. No complications were reported. Conclusion: The current study demonstrates that endoscopic groove deepening of the fibular groove was a reproducible and minimally invasive technique that provided a good clinical outcome for subluxation of the peroneal tendons and stenosing peroneal tenosynovitis.

Summary Aim: The simultaneous computation and display of wall motion and perfusion patterns in a single 3D ventricular model would considerably ease the assessment of ECG-gated Tc-99m-sestamibi SPECT, yet the effect on the accuracy of allocating regional perfusion has so far not been validated. Methods: 3D perfusion mapping (3D Perfusion/Motion Map Software) was compared to the visual assessment of ungated tomographic slices and polar perfusion mapping (Cedars-Sinai PTQ) by correlation analysis and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis at different cut-off levels for coronary stenoses in 50 patients (11 single-, 22 two-, 16 three-vessel disease). Ungated SPECT data were obtained by adding the intervals prior to reconstruction and displaying conventional tomographic slices. All display options were visually assessed in 8 ventricular segments according to a 4-point scoring system and compared to the graded results of coronary angiography. Results: All three display options showed a comparable diagnostic performance for the detection of severe stenoses. The diagnostic gain for the detection of stenoses above 59% was highest for ungated tomographic slices, followed by ungated polar mapping and 3D mapping. Regional assessment revealed a limited performance of 3D mapping in the proximal anterior and distal lateral wall. Polar mapping showed a balanced regional performance. Conclusion: 3D Perfusion mapping provides comparable information to conventional display options with the highest diagnostic strength in severe stenoses. Further improvement of the algorithm is needed in the definition of the valve plane.

Objectives: Imaging characteristis of MDCT in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Subject and methods: Cross- sectional study in 51patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma by MDCT at Danang Cancer Hospital from January 2013 to July 2014. Results: The findings reveal that the tumor in lateral wall (66.7%), diameter > 2cm (64.7%), hypodensity (98%), contrast- enhanced CT (62.7%). Blunting of fossa of Rosenmuller (96.1%), invasion of parapharyngeal space (62.7%), destruction of pterygoid bone (19.6%), invasion of skull base (17.6%), destruction of sphenoid bone (9.8%). Lymph nodes metastasis (96.1%), diameter (> 1- 3cm) is 58.8%. T-staging by CT showed T1 (35.3%), T2 (37.3%), T3 (17.6%) and T4 (9.8%). N- staging by CT showed N2 (66.7%), N3a- N3b (19.6%). Staging of Nasopharyngeal carcinoma: stage II-III (60.8%), stage IVA-IVB (23.5%) and stage IVC (11.8%). Conclusions: MDCT with a thinner slice thickness and high quality images is able to detect lymph nodes metastasis with small size and those in deep neck area and assess comprehensively the invasion of the tumor. Key words: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma, MDCT

Abstract Inverted papilloma is an uncommon tumor mostly arising from the lateral wall of the nasal cavity and displays a benign but locally aggressive behavior. Intracranial extension is an extremely rare presentation of inverted papilloma. Extension occurs either as a benign lesion or due to malignant transformation. We report a case of concurrent inverted papilloma and squamous cell carcinoma presenting with epistaxis and recent-onset altered behavior and memory impairment. After literature review of similar cases having inverted papilloma with intracranial extension, we could identify a total of 12 cases, most of which were recurrences of a primary inverted papilloma that were resected before extension into the cranial cavity. Most cases were of extradural extension, and intradural spread resulted in poor prognosis on follow-up. Concurrent inverted papilloma and squamous cell carcinoma extending into the anterior cranial fossa and frontal lobe is a very rare clinical entity and can present as frontal lobe syndrome.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background CRT improves both systolic and diastolic function, thus increasing cardiac output. However, less data is available concerning diastolic dyssynchrony and fusion pacing CRT. The aim of our study was to assess the outcome of LV diastolic asynchrony in a population of fusion pacing CRT without right ventricular (RV)  lead. Methods Prospective data were collected from a cohort of patients (pts) with right atrium/left ventricle leads (RA/LV CRT). Baseline and every 6 months follow-up included standard ETT and classical dyssynchrony parameter measurements. Diastolic dyssynchrony was done by offline speckle-tracking derived TDI timing assesment of the simultaneity of E" and A"  basal septal and lateral wall 4 chamber view. New parameters were introduced: E" and respectively A" time (E"T / A"T) as the time difference between E" (respectively A" ) peaks septal and lateral wall. Exercise tests, drugs optimization and device individual programmimg were systematically performed in order to maintain constant fusion and improve CRT response. Patients were divided in three groups: super-responders (SR), responders (R) and non responders (NR). Results Sixty-two pts (35 male) aged 62 ± 11 y.o. with idiopathic DCM implanted with a RA/LV CRT were analyzed: 34%SR / 61%R / 5%NR. Baseline initial characteristics: QRS 164 ± 18 ms; EF 27 ± 5.2; 29% had type III diastolic dysfunction (DD), 63% type II DD, 8% type I DD. Average follow-up was 45 ± 19 months; mean LVEF at the last follow-up was 37 ± 7.9%. The E"T decreased from 90 ± 20 ms to 25 ± 10 ms in SR with significant LV reverse remodelling (LV end-diastolic volume 193.7 ± 81 vs 243.2 ± 82 ml at baseline, p &lt; 0.0028) and lower LV filling pressures (E/E" 13.2 ± 4.6 vs 11.4 ± 4.5, p =0.0295). DD profile improved in 65% of R with a reduction in E/A ratio (1.46 ± 5.3 vs. 0.82 ± 3.9 at baseline, p= 0.4453). Non-sudden cardiac death occurred in 3 NR pts (2%) with type III DD, severe LA volume and larger E" T /A"T (E"T&gt; 85 msec A"T &gt; 30 msec).  Significant cut off value calculated by ROC curve for LV diastolic dyssynchrony is E"T &gt; 80 ms and A"T of &gt; 25 msec. Conclusions Fusion pacing CRT without RV lead showed a positive outcome; improving LV diastolic dyssynchrony in responders and super-responders patients is obvious. Larger randomized studies are needed to define the role of diastolic asynchronism as a predictor of favorable response in fusion pacing. Abstract Figure. Typical TDI patterns in LV fusion pacing
