“…1,3,13,17) One mechanism for the pathogenesis of hygromas is that head injury causes a connection between the cyst and the subarachnoid space. Flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) into the cyst with a flap-valve mechanism increases the size and pressure of the cyst, which leads to rupture of the cyst.…”

Arachnoid cysts are well known to induce chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) after head injury. However, histological observations of the arachnoid cyst and hematoma membrane have only been rarely described. An 8-year-old boy and a 3-year-old boy presented with CSDH associated with arachnoid cyst. Surgical removal of the hematoma and biopsy of the hematoma membrane and cyst wall were performed. Clinical courses were good and without recurrence more than 1.5 years after surgery. Histological examination suggested that the cysts did not contribute to hematoma development. Pediatric hematoma membranes, similar to adult hematoma membranes, are key in the growth of CSDH. Therefore, simple hematoma evacuation is adequate as a first operation for CSDH associated with arachnoid cyst.

“…[9][10][11] Las dos principales cuestiones que se plantean ante un niño con QA son identificar qué quistes deben ser tratados quirúrgicamente y cuál es la técnica más adecuada para cada paciente 2 . La actitud expectante debe considerarse en los quistes de pequeño volumen y, sobre todo, en los asintomáticos diagnosticados al practicar un estudio neurorradiológico por otro motivo, pues en alguna ocasión, el QA puede incluso remitir espontáneamente.…”

“…11,12 Sin embargo, ante una opción conservadora, debe valorarse el riesgo de una complicación aguda del quiste, que requerirá cirugía de urgencia, como es la ruptura del QA, tanto espontánea como tras un traumatismo craneal. 9 La segunda cuestión es seleccionar el mejor tratamiento para cada caso. La craneotomía con fenestración de las membranas es una técnica eficaz que, en nuestra opinión, debe reservarse para niños mayores y adultos ya que supone una mayor agresividad, su índice de complicaciones oscila en 10-20% y, para Boutarbouch et al, 13 existe un alto índice de recidivas de los quistes después de la cirugía.…”

Glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. A case seriesResumen Describimos las características clínicas y de laboratorio de 50 individuos con deficiencia de glucosa-6-fosfato deshidrogenasa (D-G6PD). La D-G6PD representó el 1,1% de los diagnósti-cos realizados. Se detectó la coexistencia de D-G6PD con otra eritropatía: G6PD/Hb S en 2 pacientes y G6PD/esferocitosis congénita en 1 paciente. Todos los varones (100%) presentaron una prueba de Brewer (PB) positiva, pero sólo el 56% de las mujeres la presentaron. La actividad enzimática media (AEM) de los varones fue de 0,85 ± 0,52 U/g Hb. La AEM de las mujeres con PB positiva fue de 3,82 ± 1,26 U/g Hb y fue de 5,65 ± 2,84 U/g Hb en las mujeres con PB negativa. Todos los individuos recibieron asesoramiento genético y la lista de fármacos y alimentos con efecto oxidante. Resaltamos la importancia de incluir una prueba de pesquisa en el estudio de las anemias, para detectar individuos asintomáticos y la coexistencia con otras eritropatías. Palabras clave: enzimopatía, G6PD, anemia hemolítica, ictericia. AbstRActWe describe the laboratory and clinical characteristics of 50 patients with glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD). G6PD deficiency represented 1.1% of all the diagnosis made. Coexistence of G6PD with other erythropathy was detected as follow: G6PG/HbS 2 patients and G6PG/hereditary spherocytosis 1 patient. A positive Brewer's test was found in 100% of males but in only 56% of women. Males had a mean enzymatic activity (MEA) of 0.85 ± 0.52 U/g Hb. Women, with positive Brewer's test, showed a MEA of 3.82 ± 1.26 U/g Hb, while the MEA of women with negative Brewer's test was 5.65 ± 2.84 U/g Hb. Genetic counseling and the list of food and drugs potentially harmful was given to all patients. The inclusion of simple screening tests, such as Brewer's test, in the study of anemia, enables us to detect asymptomatic males and carriers in whom this enzymopathy was co-inherited with another erythropathy.
