1/59. Laryngeal paraganglioma in a five-year-old child--the youngest case ever recorded.

    A paraganglioma is a neuroendocrine neoplasm that originates from the paraganglion cells of the parasympathetic system. The average age of presentation is in the fifth decade. We report a case of laryngeal paraganglioma in a five-year-old child, the youngest case ever recorded. The features of paraganglioma which differentiate it from other tumours are also discussed.

2/59. Intraosseous ganglion cysts of the ankle: a report of three cases with long-term follow-up.

    Three cases of intraosseous ganglion cysts of the ankle are presented with an average follow-up of 68 months (range, 48-78 months). review of the literature revealed 251 cases of intraosseous ganglion cysts, with 75 located in the ankle and a recurrence rate of 6.1%. In the three cases presented, a satisfactory long-term result was obtained with bone graft and curettage in two cases and currettage alone in one case. No recurrences or complications occurred.

3/59. Recurrent intraneural ganglion cyst of the tibial nerve. Case report.

    Different theories have evolved to explain the pathogenesis and the cell of origin of intraneural ganglion cysts. Reportedly only three cases of intraneural ganglion of the tibial nerve have been located within the popliteal fossa, and all of these were thought to arise within the nerve. The authors report a case of a recurrent tibial intraneural ganglion in which a connection to the proximal tibiofibular joint was demonstrated on magnetic resonance (MR) images and at surgery. Surgical ligation of the articular branch and evacuation of the cyst led to symptomatic relief, and an MR image obtained 1 year after surgery documented no recurrence. This case reinforces the fact that surgeons need to consider and search for an articular connection in all cases of intraneural ganglia, especially in those that have recurred.

4/59. Histopathology and vascular endothelial growth factor in untreated and diode laser-treated retinopathy of prematurity.

    OBJECTIVES: We had the unique opportunity to compare the eyes of a premature infant with stage 3 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in both eyes after the condition was treated by diode laser photocoagulation in one eye only. After the infant's death, we investigated the extent of structural damage incurred with the diode laser and examined the effect of treatment on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression. methods: The eyes were fixed and embedded in paraffin. Adjacent 6 microns sections were either stained for histopathologic analysis or used for in situ hybridization. VEGF messenger rna (mRNA) was detected by using radiolabeled antisense riboprobes. RESULTS: In the treated eye, histopathologic results demonstrated the clinically evident dose-response effect, with sparing of inner retinal elements with mild laser burns and full-thickness retinal cell disruption with severe burns. Scleral and ciliary nerve effects were absent. VEGF mRNA was localized primarily in the ganglion cell layer but was also found in the inner nuclear layer. In the untreated eye, an increase in VEGF mRNA was detected at the peripheral edge of the vascularized retina anterior to the ridge. In the laser-treated eye, VEGF mRNA expression was dramatically upregulated in the ganglion cell layer in areas adjacent to laser burns. CONCLUSIONS: VEGF mRNA was found to be elevated in the peripheral, avascular retina of the untreated eye, consistent with the hypothesis that retinal hypoxia stimulates VEGF expression. In the treated eye with recurrent ROP, VEGF mRNA was not detected in the photocoagulated areas of retina but was increased between laser scars. This finding confirms the results of prior animal studies and validates the use of these models.

5/59. Late recurrence of neuroblastoma stage 4S with unusual clinicopathologic findings.

    The authors present unusual clinicopathologic findings of a patient with neuroblastoma stage 4S that recurred 11 years after induction of complete remission with chemotherapy. A 12-year-old girl presented with recurrent tumor in the liver. Urinary catecholamine metabolites were within normal range in contrast to the increased values at initial presentation. She underwent left lateral segmentectomy and biopsy of the right lobe. Histologic analysis of the recurrent tumor showed undifferentiated neuroblastoma intermingled with mature ganglioneuromatous lesions. There also were scattered ganglioneuromatous lesions throughout nontumorous area of the liver. Although multimodal intensified treatments including autologous bone marrow transplantation were performed, the patient died of obstinate recurrent tumor at age 14 years. The clinicopathologic findings suggested dedifferentiation from the ganglioneuromatous lesion rather than ordinary recurrence of the primary tumor. The current case and the literature review may indicate that long-term follow-up would be necessary for neuroblastoma stage 4/4S cases. J Pediatr Surg 36:953-955.

6/59. Recurrent and migratory reflex sympathetic dystrophy in children.

    reflex sympathetic dystrophy is a syndrome characterized by superficial pain and tenderness associated with swelling, vasomotor instability, and dystrophic changes of the skin. In children, it is rarely reported and is felt to have a more benign and self-limited course. This case illustrates that, in children, reflex sympathetic dystrophy can occur without any previous history of trauma, and may be recurrent and migratory. A review of the literature is included. An 11-year-old girl, with no history of trauma, presented in 1992 with spontaneous onset of right leg pain. She was diagnosed with reflex sympathetic dystrophy, and she was treated unsuccessfully with oral medications. Her symptoms then resolved in 2 weeks after receiving epidural anaesthesia and aggressive physical therapy. Over the next 5 years, she presented to the paediatric rehabilitation clinic three times with recurrent RSD in her bilateral arms. The first two times were refractory to conservative management and resolved with four stellate ganglion blocks. The third recurrence persisted with three stellate ganglion blocks and resolved with gabapentin.

7/59. Ipsilateral thalamic stimulation after thalamotomy for essential tremor. A case report.

    We report a patient with severe essential tremor who was treated with thalamic stimulation ipsilateral to a prior thalamotomy. Thalamotomy performed 30 years prior to stimulator implantation provided tremor reduction for one year before the tremor recurred. An electrode lead was implanted in the thalmaic nucleus ventralis intermedius (Vim) with nearly complete control of his tremor with sustained benefit over an 18-month follow-up period. Vim thalamic stimulation is an effective treatment option for recurrent tremor in patients who have undergone ipsilateral thalamotomy.

8/59. Trigeminocardiac reflex: a unique case of recurrent asystole during bilateral trigeminal sensory root rhizotomy.

    BACKGROUND: The trigeminocardiac reflex is the sudden-onset of dysrhythmia and hypotension during manipulation of any of the branches of the trigeminal nerve. The trigeminal nerve and cardioinhibitory vagus nerve constitute the afferent and efferent pathways in the reflex arc. The trigeminocardiac reflex has been reported to occur during craniofacial surgery, balloon-compression rhizolysis of the trigeminal ganglion, and tumour resection in the cerebellopontine angle. PATIENT & METHOD: A 2-year-old male patient with haemangioma near the sella turcica underwent rhizotomies of both sides of the dorsal sensory roots, of the trigeminal nerves for palliation of intractable trigeminal pain. RESULTS: In this report, we experienced two unexpected episodes of asystole after transection of the sensory roots of the trigeminal nerves. CONCLUSION: Sectioning of the intracranial dorsal sensory root of the trigeminal nerve provides clear evidence of the central role of the trigeminal nerve as the afferent pathway of the trigeminocardiac reflex arc.

9/59. A case of trigeminal-vagal neuralgia relieved by peripheral self-stimulation.

    A case of simultaneous trigeminal and vagoglossopharyngeal neuralgia is described. No microvascular compression was seen at the trigeminal complex while the origin of vagoglossopharyngeal pain could have been due either to Chiari malformation or microvascular compression of the IX-X nerve complex. Decompressive surgery was ineffective. The patient could completely block his facial painful fits by strongly pinching the anterior axillary fold. This case militates against peripheral theories of facial neuralgias, including microvascular compression and ganglion ignition focus theories, and supports a central origin thereof.

10/59. Pelvic presentation of a hip joint ganglion: a case report.

    ganglia may be found near any joint. The hip joint is one location where these lesions have been reported. In most instances the ganglia found around the hip are small, deep-seated, and not palpable. Palpable ganglia are commonly larger and present as a groin mass. We report a ganglion cyst that was not palpable due to its intrapelvic location.
