The literature has a lot of descriptions of the spontaneous disappearance of herniated discs. This article presents a clinical case of conservative treatment of sequestered disc herniation applying a complex of drug treatment and kinesitherapy. After 5 months a positive trend was observed against the background of conservative treatment. A year later, there was a lack of clinical symptoms and, according to MRI, and positive dynamics in the form of a decrease in the caudal sequestration of L5-S1 to symmetrical circular protrusion (hollow capsule effect). Key Words: sequestered disc herniation, drug treatment, kinesitherapy, MRI.

Ligoniai ir metodai Ištirti 288 ligoniai, kuriems pasireiškė vertebrobazilinės ligos klinikiniai simptomai ir įvairi brachicefalinių arterijų patologija. Chirurgiškai gydyti 228 ligoniai, o konservatyviai – 60 ligonių, kurie sudarė kontrolinę grupę. Visi ligoniai ištirti neurologo, jiems atliktas brachicefalinių arterijų dvigubas skenavimas ir aortos lanko šakų angiografija. Operuotų arterijų neurologiniai klinikiniai pokyčiai ir kraujotaka buvo vertinama per 3 metų laikotarpį. Rezultatai Paroksizmai yra būdingi neurologiniai simptomai esant brachicefalinių arterijų patologijai. Šių arterijų chirurginė korekcija atliekama, jei konservatyvus gydymas buvo neveiksmingas, o neurologinė simptomatika progresavo. Chirurginiam gydymui įvertinti ligoniai tirti po operacijos praėjus ne daugiau kaip 2 savaitėms, iki 1 metų ir nuo 1 iki 3 metų. Pagrindinis dėmesys buvo sutelktas į neurologinių simptomų pokyčius trečiuoju pooperaciniu laikotarpiu. Teigiami klinikiniai pokyčiai (paroksizmai po operacijos visiškai nebesikartojo) nustatyti daugiausia tiems ligoniams, kuriems buvo brachicefalinių arterijų anomalijos (82,86%) ir deformacijos (72,54%). Chirurginis gydymas buvo neveiksmingas 30% ligonių, kuriems yra brachicefalinių arterijų ateroskleroze, ir 21% – mišri patologija. Papildomų simptomų, kurių iki operacijos nebuvo, atsirado mišrios patologijos grupės ligoniams (3,41%). Chirurginio gydymo veiksmingumui įrodyti ištirta 60 kontrolinės grupės ligonių. Teigiamų sveikatos būklės pokyčių nenustatyta. Ketvirtadalio ligonių sveikatos būklė nepakito, kitų – pablogėjo dėl naujų praeinančių smegenų išemijos priepuolių ir insultų. Išvados Teigiami pooperaciniai pokyčiai per trejų metų laikotarpį leidžia teigti, jog subjektyvūs ir objektyvūs neurologinai vertebrobazilinės ligos simptomai siejasi su įvairia brachicefalinių arterijų patologija. Tais atvejais, kai konservatyvus gydymas neveiksmingas, galima chirurginė brachicefalinių arterijų korekcija. Prasminai žodžiai: brachicefalinės arterijos, vertebrobazilinė liga, chirurginis gydymas, pooperaciniai rezultatai Vertebrobasilar disease. Results of surgical correction of brachiocephalic arteries Ilona Bičkuvienė Background / objective The aim of this study was to analyze preoperative and 3-year follow-up postoperative symptoms of vertebrobasilar disease due to the pathology of brachiocephalic arteries. Methods 288 patients with symptoms of vertebrobasilar disease due to the pathology of brachiocephalic arteries have been examined. 228 patients were operated on and 60 (control group) were treated conservatively. All the patients were examined by the neurologist, duplex scanner and angiographycally. Neurological clinical dynamics and blood flow in operated on arteries were evaluated in a 3-year period. Results Paroxysms are characteristic of the lesions of the brachiocephalic arteries. Surgical correction of the lesions was performed if the conservative treatment had no effect and the neurological symptoms were progressing. To evaluate the effectiveness of surgical treatment, the patients were examined in the early postoperative (2 weeks after operation) and late postoperative period: 1) until 1 year and 2) from 1 to 3 years. Attention was focused on the dynamics of the neurological symptoms in the third postoperative period (from 1 to 3 years). Positive clinical dynamics (paroxysms disappeared) was ascertained mostly in the groups with anomalies of the brachiocephalic arteries (82.86%) and deformations (72.54%). This surgical treatment was ineffective in 30% of cases in the group with atherosclerotic and in 21% with combined lesions of brachiocephalic arteries. New additional symptoms after operation were ascertained in the group with combined lesions (3,41%). To approve the effectiveness of surgical treatment, 60 patients (control group) were examined. They had been treated conservatively, without a positive dynamics of their health status. There were no changes in the health status for the quarter of the patients. In all the others the health status worsened – TIA and strokes appeared. Conclusions A 3-year positive postoperative dynamics allow us to conclude that the subjective and objective clinical symptoms are connected with various types of pathology of brachiocephalic arteries. In cases when conservative treatment is unsuccessful, surgical treatment of brachiocephalic arteries can be applied. Keywords: brachiocephalic arteries, vertebrobasilar disease, surgical treatment, postoperative results

Primary endothelial dystrophy of the cornea is a fairly common disease in people older than 50 years. Well-developed methods of conservative treatment, as a rule, do not lead to improvement or stabilization of the functional state of the cornea. The choice of tactics of surgical treatment from the existing variety of techniques is complicated. There are isolated reports of the restoration of corneal transparency after descemet membrane removal. The author's method of endothelial corneal dystrophy treatment addressed in this particular clinical case - a combination of isolated descemetorhexis and collagen cross-linking - resulted in impressive increase in visual acuity and significant improvement in objective criteria for the morpho-functional state of the cornea.

Abstract Background: Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI) is a rare disease that occurs frequently in the large and small intestine and has no obvious clinical symptoms. It is difficult to preoperatively diagnose and is easily undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. The main pathological features are air-bearing cysts in the intestinal submucosa, intermuscular wall and subserous membrane. Case presentation: PCI is a rare disease, which often occurs in the large intestine and small intestine,without obvious clinical symptoms. It is difficult to diagnose before operation and is easy to be missed and misdiagnosed. Duvernoi first described the disease in 1730. The main pathological features were air-bearing cysts in intestinal submucosa, intermuscular wall and subserous membrane. Conservative treatment is the first choice when there are no serious complications, and timely surgical treatment is needed for serious and life-threatening complications. This report presents the clinical and pathological analysis of PCI in a 92-year-old man. The patient was admitted to hospital because of acute peritonitis,and was diagnosed as PCI with schistosomiasis after emergency operation. Postoperative follow-up is generally in good condition.Conclusions: The incidence of PCI is low. Because of a lack of specificity in clinical manifestations and endoscopic findings, PCI is difficult to diagnose preoperatively and is easily missed and misdiagnosed. Conservative treatment is the first choice when there are no serious complications; however, timely surgical treatment is required for serious and life-threatening complications.PCI treatment is effective andconvenient, and the prognosis is optimistic. Therefore, clinicians should increase their awareness of PCI to avoid unnecessary misdiagnosis.

Wrist ganglia were randomly allocated for conservative treatment by either aspiration or aspiration and injection of steroid. Both treatment methods had 33% success rates. Almost all ganglia which recurred after one aspiration did not resolve with further aspirations. After aspiration and explanation of the benign nature of ganglia, only a quarter of patients requested surgical treatment.
