    Notes: Summary We have examined pathological criteria in 16 cases of infratentorial ependymomas of childhood using a conventional histological approach, with immunohistochemistry and silver nucleolar organizer region staining (AgNORs). We have found that some of these criteria are of prognostic value. The following histological features were evaluated in each case: cellular density, cellular or nuclear pleiomorphism, mitosis, focal necrosis, endothelial proliferation and complete loss of differentiation. The expression of the following antigens was also studied: epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), human natural killer (HNK1), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and vimentin. Only three histological criteria have been retained as indicative of bad prognosis, i.e., high mitotic index, a large amount of necrosis and complete loss of differentiation. These criteria distinguish ependymomas from anaplastic ependymomas. GFAP was expressed in all tumors while other antigens were more variable. In addition tumors expressing large amounts of GFAP were statistically associated with a better prognosis. Increased vimentin expression associated with a decrease of GFAP immunoreactivity correlated with anaplasia and short survival. EMA was not directly correlated with postoperative survival but may be considered as a further prognostic factor. Finally AgNORs values were not statistically correlated with postoperative survival.

    Notes: Summary 24 cases of choroid plexus tumours (16 papillomas and 8 carcinomas) were observed in the Department of Paediatric Neurosurgery, HÔpital des Enfants de la Timone, Marseille France between 1975 and 1989. The case records were reviewed and the clinical, surgical, and pathological results are presented here. 14 (58%) were infants and 10 (42%) of these were aged less than 1 year at presentation. In 11 (46%) the tumour arose in the lateral ventricle, in 7 (29%) it was located in the IIId ventricle, and in 6 (25%) the tumour was found in the IVth ventricle. 5 of the 8 carcinomas had their origin in the IVth ventricle. 17 cases (75%) required ventriculoperitoneal shunt procedures before surgery of the tumour and in all these it was left in place post-operatively. One child required shunting de novo after removal of the tumour. A total excision was achieved in 20 children (83%) out of 23 operated upon. The operative mortality (mortality within one month of surgery) was 8%, the overall mortality was 25%. One child with a IIId ventricle papilloma died before surgery from a large gastro-intestinal haemorrhage. 5 children under the age of 3 years with carcinomas on the IVth ventricle died. The 3 children with supratentorial carcinomas are alive respectively 2 months, 8 years, and 13 years after treatment. Among 15 children with papillomas alive, 10 (67%) are neurologically intact and 5 (33%) have sequelae.

    Ocular findings in trigonocephaly (1994)
    Springer
    Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology 232 (1994), S. 728-733

    Notes: Abstract • Background: Trigonocephaly, caused by premature closure of the metopic suture, is a rare form of craniosynostosis. The aim of this study was to assess the visual outcome in children operated on for trigonocephaly • Methods: We present eight cases of children with trigonocephaly surgically corrected by the same craniofacial technique. CT with 3D reconstruction was performed in all cases. Genitori defined three types of trigonocephaly according to the severity of the deformity of the skull base only types II and III were included in this study directed at evaluation of the ocular disorder. A complete eye examination was performed on all children by the same observer, with a follow-up of 2–6 years • Results: 3D-CT reconstruction of the skull base showed that the frontozygomatic region was affected by the deformation. Ocular examination showed considerable astigmatism in most children with late operation. A low degree of strabismus was observed in most children • Conclusion: This study demonstrated that reconstructive surgery should be performed by the age of 6 months, given the immaturity of the visual system up to that time. Close cooperation between neurosurgeons, pediatricians and ophthalmologists is of paramount importance in order to prevent this bone deformation exerting an adverse effect on visual development. The ophthalmologist must possess a basic understanding of the various craniosynostoses.

    Weaning children from tube to oral feeding (1996)
    Springer
    Child's nervous system 12 (1996), S. 590-594 
    Details
    ISSN: 1433-0350
    Keywords: Child ; Infant ; Tube feeding ; Oral feeding resistance ; Dysphagia

    Notes: Abstract Most of the children seen by specialists in neonatalogy, neuropaediatrics or neurosurgery do not have any problems in starting with oral feeding after a period of tube feeding lasting between 15 and 20 days. Children who have been tube fed for a longer period, however, can find it very difficult or even impossible to re-establish oral feeding when they have sufficiently recovered from their underlying problem. To cope with this situation we propose a procedure based on the after-entation or re-afferentation of the oropharyngeal cavity by sensory stimulations and by re-establishment of the biological clock (circadian rhythm) by applying these stimulations during tube feeding at regular hours. In 19 children who showed difficulties oral feeding became possible a short time after such a procedure had been applied. If the principles of swallowing neurophysiology and the biological rhythm are respected, this procedure, which also involves a contribution from the family, leads to quicker oral feeding and shorter stay in hospital.

    The skull base in plagiocephaly (1994)

    Keywords: Craniosynostosis ; Plagiocephaly ; Skull base ; Computed tomography ; Three-dimensional ; Anthropometry
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract Between 1975 and 1992, 426 children with craniofacial malformations were treated in the Department of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the Hôpital des Enfants de la Timone in Marseille. Plagiocephaly was present in 71 (16.6%). The authors present a reproducible analysis of the skull base in plagiocephaly based on these 71 patients. A control group of Mediterranean children (n = 20) was used for comparison. Clinical anthropometric patterns were analyzed in all cases. Comparison with the control group showed a difference only in the nasion-lambda distance. Data obtained from clinical anthropometry were compared for the involved and the uninvolved sides. A threedimensional reconstruction was possible in 20 cases. The statistical correlation between the basal angles (nasion-pterional, nasion-petrosal, nasion-clino-basion, and zygomatic angles) of the involved and uninvolved sides allows a new nosographic identification of this complex malformation.

    Investigations of nontumoral hydrocephalus in children (1978)
    Springer
    Neuroradiology 16 (1978), S. 24-25 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1920

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary An analysis was made of 175 cases of pediatric nontumoral hydrocephalus. CT scan by itself permits a precise diagnosis in only one-third of the cases. However, when the clinical context suggests that hydrocephalus is secondary to certain conditions such as infection, bleeding, or trauma, CT scan may suffice, unless more advanced investigation permits more efficient treatment. When hydrocephalus is associated with brain malformations, however, more complete investigation is needed for a better understanding of the condition. Conventional contrast studies are quite safe, especially ventriculography which is easy to perform in this type of patient, who is usually investigated during the first 12 months of life.
