Medulloblastoma: seeding of VP shunt tract and peritoneum
We report on a 5-year-old boy with seeding of the peritoneum and a ventriculoperitoneal shunt tract by anaplastic medulloblastoma. The role of ventriculoperitoneal shunting in the spread of primary central nervous system tumors has been controversial. In the case reported here, the unique distribution of tumor implants on ultrasound and multiplanar computed tomography gives further credence to ...
متن کاملIntraventricular migration of an entire VP shunt.
INDIAN PEDIATRICS 187 VOLUME 42FEBRUARY 17, 2005 Proximal migration is a rare complication of the ventriculoperitoneal shunt for congenital hydrocephalus. The sites reported for proximal migration include subgaleal space(1), scalp(2), subdural space, cavity of a subdural hematoma and ventricles(3,4). We encountered proximal migration of an entire ventriculoperitoneal shunt into the ventricles a...
متن کاملOculo-peritoneal shunt: draining aqueous humor to the peritoneum.
In 2010, there were estimated to be approximately 60.5 million people with glaucoma. This number is expected to increase to 79.6 million by 2020. In 2010, there were 8.4 million people with bilateral blindness caused by glaucoma, and this number is expected in increase to 11.2 million by 2020. Filtering implants are special devices that have been developed to reduce intraocular pressure in pati...
متن کاملEarly CT detection of intracranial seeding from medulloblastoma.
Since 1975, intracranial subarachnoid metastases of medulloblastoma have been detected in seven of 23 initial contrast-enhanced computed tomographic (CT) scans in children with proven medulloblastoma. Furthermore, four of the seven cases with subarachnoid seeding were diagnosed after the introduction of high-resolution contrast-enhanced CT. Only three cases of seeding had been detected in the p...
متن کاملTitle : Electrochemical prevention of needle - tract seeding
Needle-tract seeding refers to the implantation of tumor cells by contamination when instruments, such as biopsy needles, are employed to examine, excise or ablate a tumor. The incidence of this iatrogenic phenomenon is low but it entails serious consequences. Here, as a new method for preventing neoplasm seeding, it is proposed to cause electrochemical reactions at the instrument surface so th...
