Anthracycline Extravasation

Introduction Intrathoracic extravasation of anthracyclines is a dangerous and very rare complication of chemotherapy administration. While management of extravasation into soft tissues has been established, the data on treatment of mediastinal and intrapleural anthracycline extravasation is limited. Case Report We present a case of a 52-year-old woman with intrapleural doxorubicin extravasation who presented to the hospital 24-hrs after chemotherapy infusion with chest pain and shortness of breath. Management & Outcome The patient underwent urgent surgical intervention and received IV dexrazoxane 36-hrs after the event. Her pain improved, but she continued to have chest soreness and pleural effusion at the site of extravasation even 3 months later. Discussion We conducted review of literature using Medline/PubMed and Google Scholar databases and identified 7 cases of intrapleural and mediastinal anthracycline extravasation. No data is currently available regarding the outcome of delayed management of intrapleural anthracycline extravasation with dexrazoxane. Prevention and confirmation of adequate port catheter placement is the most important step to avoid such cases. Catheter misplacement should be suspected in any patient presenting with post procedural chest pain and should trigger a thorough evaluation prior to any chemotherapy administration.

Complete Fracture

Catheter related complications are not uncommon with permanently implanted intrathecal drug delivery systems. Pericatheter leak of cerebrospinal fluid usually responds to conservative treatment. We report a case of tension pseudomeningocele due to retained lumbar intrathecal catheter. It is essential to be aware of this rare complication and we recommend appropriate neurosurgical involvement in the management of pseudomeningocele to avoid potential and catastrophic complications. This case presents one of the rare complications associated with the implantation of IDDS. If a patient with IDDS develops a complete fracture of the catheter at the spinal end, all attempts should be made to define the 2 ends of the catheter and establish the continuity with a titanium connector. If the spinal end of the catheter is retracted deep into the interspinous ligaments and not recoverable, avoid entering the intrethecal space at the same level. If a patient develops pseudomeningocele in the postoperative period of IDDS and conservative methods including autologous epidural blood patch fail, we recommend an MRI of the spine for a detailed study along with prompt neurosurgical consultation.

AbstractCerebral abscess is an extremely rare complication of pregnancy. Among reported cases of pregnancy brain abscess, most patients have shown a good neurologic outcome. Herein, we present a 25-year-old pregnant woman at 28 weeks' gestation with acute loss of consciousness and sudden brain herniation. The patient underwent an emergency craniotomy and brain abscess was evacuated, but she died after surgery. Rapid deterioration and fatal brain herniation were unique among other reports of sinogenic brain abscess during pregnancy.
