  • Extensive Tension Pneumocephalus Caused by Spinal Tapping in a Patient with Basal Skull Fracture and Pneumothorax
    online © ML Comm www.jkns.or.kr 10.3340/jkns.2009.45.5.318 Print ISSN 2005-3711 On-line ISSN 1598-7876 J Korean Neurosurg Soc 45 : 318-321, 2009 Copyright © 2009 The Korean Neurosurgical Society Case Report Extensive Tension Pneumocephalus Caused by Spinal Tapping in a Patient with Basal Skull Fracture and Pneumothorax Seung Hwan Lee, M.D.,1 Jun Seok Koh, M.D.,1 Jae Seung Bang, M.D.,1 Myung Chun Kim, M.D.2 Departments of Neurosurgery,1 Emergency Medicine,2 East-West Neo Medical Center, Kyung Hee University, School of Medicine, Seoul, Korea Tension pneumocephalus may follow a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak communicating with extensive extradural air. However, it rarely occurs after diagnostic lumbar puncture, and its treatment and pathophysiology are uncertain. Tension pneumocephalus can develop even after diagnostic lumbar puncture in a special condition. This extremely rare condition and underlying pathophysiology will be presented and discussed. The authors report the case of a 44-year-old man with a basal skull fracture accompanied by pneumothorax necessitating chest tube suction drainage, who underwent an uneventful lumbar tapping that was complicated by postprocedural tension pneumocephalus resulting in an altered mental status. The patient was managed by burr hole trephination and saline infusion following chest tube disengagement. He recovered well with no neurologic deficits after the operation, and a follow-up computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated that the pneumocephalus had completely resolved. Tension pneumocephalus is a rare but serious complication of lumbar puncture in patients with basal skull fractures accompanied by pneumothorax, which requires continuous chest tube drainage.

Forth- with, we present two patients with congenital IGF-I deficiency who developed type II diabetes and subsequently retinopathy. Methods: Eighteen adult patients with classical Laron syndrome (8 males, 10 females, aged 20–62 years) were followed by us since childhood or underwent fundus photography with a Nikon NF 505 instrument. Three had been treated in childhood with IGF-I, the rest were never treated, includ- ing the two patients reported. Results: Two never-treated patients were diagnosed with type II diabetes (DM) at ages 39 and 41 respectively. There was no diabetes in the families. Oral treatment was followed by insulin injections. Metabolic control was not optimal and one patient developed proliferative diabetic retinopathy, neces- sitating laser surgery. He also has nephropathy and severe neuropathy.

  • 2019 Trauma Registry FAQ's Note
    2019 Trauma Registry FAQ’s Note: Trauma Registry related FAQ's will be updated here weekly by PTSF staff! As FAQ's accumulate, please take the date of the post into consideration. As you know, changes occur frequently in the PTOS dataset. For example, a FAQ from 2019 may no longer be correct or applicable in 2022. Date: 1-11-2019 Question: When a patient is discharged to a PA trauma center for a burn, are we to use 14-PA trauma center or 6- burn center for the discharge destination? Answer: If a burn patient is discharged or transferred to a burn center that is also a trauma center the “Discharge Destination” should be “6” for burn center. Date: 1-11-2019 Question: I am going through the new PTSF manual and re-reading some old info as well. I want to double check the initial nutrition assessment question – it states it is requires for burn patients at burn centers, is this to say we don’t need to capture this then? Answer: That’s correct! The initial nutrition assessment question only needs to be answered at burn centers for burn patients. Throughout the manual you will see “(REQ FOR BURN PTS AT BURN CTRS)” below the title of any elements that are only required to be captured for burn patients at burn centers. Date: 1-11-2019 Question: Should we be coding the vent procedure also on a patient transferred into our facility from another hospitals ER only ( not admitted) as they were intubated? Answer: The intubation at the outside hospital should be recorded under Therapeutic Interventions at Referring Facility.

  • A US Nationwide Inpatient Sample Database Study
    Neurosurg Focus 32 (6):E4, 2012 Is posttraumatic cerebrospinal fluid fistula a predictor of posttraumatic meningitis? A US Nationwide Inpatient Sample database study *ASHISH SONIG, M.D., M.S., M.CH., JAI DEEP THAKUR, M.D., PRASHANT CHIttIBOINA, M.D., M.P.H., Imad SAEED KHAN, M.D., AND ANIL NANda, M.D., M.P.H. Department of Neurosurgery, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in Shreveport, Louisiana Object. Various factors have been reported in literature to be associated with the development of posttraumatic meningitis. There is a paucity of data regarding skull fractures and facial fractures leading to CSF leaks and their as- sociation with the development of meningitis. The primary objective of this study was to analyze the US Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database to elucidate the factors associated with the development of posttraumatic meningitis. A secondary goal was to analyze the overall hospitalization cost related to posttraumatic meningitis and factors as- sociated with that cost. Methods. The NIS database was analyzed to identify patients admitted to hospitals with a diagnosis of head injury from 2005 through 2009. This data set was analyzed to assess the relationship of various clinical parameters that may affect the development of posttraumatic meningitis using binary logistic regression models. Additionally, the overall hospitalization cost for the head injury patients who did not undergo any neurosurgical intervention was further categorized into quartile groups, and a regression model was created to analyze various factors responsible for escalating the overall cost of the hospital stay. Results. A total of 382,267 inpatient admissions for head injury were analyzed for the 2005–2009 period.

Forth- with, we present two patients with congenital IGF-I deficiency who developed type II diabetes and subsequently retinopathy. Methods: Eighteen adult patients with classical Laron syndrome (8 males, 10 females, aged 20–62 years) were followed by us since childhood or underwent fundus photography with a Nikon NF 505 instrument. Three had been treated in childhood with IGF-I, the rest were never treated, includ- ing the two patients reported. Results: Two never-treated patients were diagnosed with type II diabetes (DM) at ages 39 and 41 respectively. There was no diabetes in the families. Oral treatment was followed by insulin injections. Metabolic control was not optimal and one patient developed proliferative diabetic retinopathy, neces- sitating laser surgery. He also has nephropathy and severe neuropathy.
