Anesthesia recommendations for patients suffering from Apert syndrome - December 2011
It is thought that the affected chromosome is chromosome 10, and there are two main identified gene defects affecting fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 gene. The resultant abnormal receptor prevents apoptosis of cells, and so in the case of those affected by Apert syndrome, digits on both hands and feet may be fused. These fusions can be either cutaneous or bony. Receptors found in the craniu...
متن کاملCranial Reconstruction in a Pediatric Patient Using a Tissue Expander and Custom-made Hydroxyapatite Implant.
A tissue expansion technique in conjunction with a custom-made artificial bone implant was effective for a large cranial reconstruction in a pediatric patient. The patient was an eight-year-old boy with cranial bone fracture, acute subdural hematoma in the left lobe, and acute epidural hematoma in the right lobe due to an accident. Wound dehiscence and artificial dura infection were observed as...
متن کاملA Custom-made Acetabular Implant for Paprosky Type 3 Defects.
Acetabular revision is a challenging operation, especially when dealing with major bone loss and poor bone quality. This article describes a detailed approach to defect analysis, including measurement of bone deficiency and bone quality. A custom-made titanium implant, with precisely outlined flanges to the host bones of the ilium, ischium, and pubis, taking into account the bone quality for op...
متن کاملApert Syndrome: A Case Report
Apert syndrome is a genetic defect which was first described by Eugene Apert in 1906. itchr('39')s incidence is approximately one in 50000 births. This syndrome is many abnormalities in your body and Central Nervous System. rehabilitation can increase children and their parentchr('39')s quality of life.We report a case of Apert syndrome and his occupational therapy program.
متن کاملSurgical pitfalls with custom-made porous hydroxyapatite cranial implants
Aim: Cranioplasty implants are used primarily in cases of surgical cranial decompression following pathological elevations of intracranial pressure. Available bone substitutes include porous hydroxyapatite (HA) and polymethylmethacrylate. Whichever material is used, however, prosthetic cranial implants are susceptible to intraand postsurgical complications and even failure. The aim of this stud...
