Gradual Distraction

✓ A substantial number of patients with coronal synostosis who undergo frontoorbital advancement still require additional surgical treatment to correct increased intracranial pressure or unsatisfactory craniofacial structure. However, frontoorbital advancement currently requires elevation of the frontal as well as the orbital bone, which can result in a fragile dura mater and partial resorption of the advanced bone. Thus the dura is easily torn by dissection and the advanced bone is further resorbed and deformed during repeated craniofacial operations. To avoid these drawbacks and to create an easier second surgical treatment via the intracranial approach, a new technique for frontoorbital advancement is presented. In this technique frontoorbital bone is advanced as a single unit, without elevation from the underlying dura, by means of gradual distraction. The details of the technique and an illustrative case are reported.

ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of this research was to review the literature, compare different methods of surgical treatment for coronoid hyperplasia and report a clinical case of unilateral coronoid hyperplasia treated by coronoidectomy with intraoral access. Methods: A critical review of the literature was performed by selection of papers published in the last 20 years on the treatment of coronoid in adults in the PubMed, Medline, Scielo and Lilacs databases, with the terms coronoid hyperplasia OR coronoid elongation AND treatment OR management. The data was extracted for analysis. Results: twenty-four articles were selected. It included 42 patients, among them 69% were male patients and 81% were bilaterally affected. The age group with the highest prevalence was the people in the 20's and 30's. Sixty-nine percent of the patients were treated with coronoidectomy and 26.2% with coronoidotomy. The majority (83.3%) with intraoral access. No cases had surgical complications reported, and 71.4% underwent physiotherapy after surgery. Regarding the results, 83.3% were considered satisfactory, 11.9% were unsatisfactory. Conclusion: The great majority of the cases that brought significant results in the improvement of the pre and postoperative mouth opening were treated by coronoidectomy, proving to be an efficient and safe surgical treatment for the coronoid hyperplasia.

BACKGROUND Thoracic spinal epidural lipomatosis (SEL) involves the pathological overgrowth of histologically normal, unencapsulated adipose tissue that can compress the spinal cord and cause myelopathy. SEL has been associated with multiple medical conditions, including Scheuermann kyphosis (SK). Optimal treatment strategies for SEL, especially in the setting of a sagittal spinal deformity, remain unclear. OBSERVATIONS In this report, the authors discussed surgical management of a patient with thoracic SEL and SK using skip hemilaminotomies for resection of the epidural adipose tissue. To the authors’ knowledge, only one other report described a similar surgical technique in a patient who did not have a spinal deformity. LESSONS When conservative efforts fail, thoracic SEL may require surgical treatment. Surgical planning must account for co-medical conditions such as SK. The described approach involving skip laminotomies, which minimizes spine destabilization, is a viable option to treat SEL spanning multiple spinal segments. Prognosis after surgical treatment varies and is impacted by multiple factors, including severity of preoperative neurological deficits.

BACKGROUNDThe authors document the first case of pure arterial malformations (PAMs) of the posterior communicating artery (PCoA), which were successfully treated with microsurgical clipping of the main body of the PAMs. PAMs are defined as dilated, overlapping, and tortuous arteries with a coil-like appearance and/or a mass of arterial loops without any associated venous component. Although PAMs usually have a benign history and are often incidental findings, this case presented with acute progression of visual field impairment.OBSERVATIONSBecause the patient’s right optic tract was affected by the loop of PAMs of the PCoA, the authors performed microsurgical clipping of the main body of the PAMs using endoscopy, which ceased the progression of symptoms without any complications.LESSONSThere have been several reports of PAMs receiving surgical treatment for accompanying lesions. However, in this case, the lesion to the main body of PAMs was the cause of visual field impairment and was successfully treated with microsurgical clipping.
