Navigated Percutaneous Lung Ablation under High-Frequency Jet Ventilation of a Metastasis from a Wilms’ Tumour: A Paediatric Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
This is a case report of microwave energy being used to ablate an inoperable metastasis of a Wilms' tumour in a 6-year-old boy using state-of-the-art navigated computed tomography targeting and high-frequency jet ventilation to reduce organ displacement and the potential risk of procedure-related pneumothorax. After the ablation, the young boy had high-dose chemotherapy followed by an autologous stem cell transplantation with rapid reduction of three recurrent right-sided lung metastases.

Case Report High-frequency jet ventilation for minimizing breathing-related liver motion during percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of multiple hepatic tumours
Movements of the liver caused by spontaneous breathing (during sedation or local anaesthesia) or by ventilation during anaesthesia are a source of concern in CT-guided procedures because of the limited spatial and contrast resolution of unenhanced imaging, artifacts caused by the probes and the relatively low temporal resolution of the fluoroscopy mode. During CT-guided radiofrequency ablation ...

Hepatoid variant of yolk sac tumor of ovary is an unusual tumor with an aggressive behavior. It is usually observed in young females, presents with abdominal complaints and is associated with raised α-fetoprotein (AFP) levels. It should be differentiated from other hepatoid tumors involving the ovary. A complete patient evaluation with gross, microscopy, and immunohistochemistry can identify th...

Abstract Background: Transtracheal jet ventilation is an alternative ventilatory approach in airway surgery. The purpose of this study was to compare respiratory efficacy of percutaneous transtracheal with endotracheal, low frequency jet ventilation during microlaryngeal surgery. Methods: Ninety ASA class I-II patients aged between 16 and 70 years undergoing elective microlaryngeal surgery wer...
متن کاملMicrowave Tumor Ablation of Vertebral Bone Metastasis: A Case Report
Introduction: Thermal ablation by microwave (MWA) has proven efficacy in treatment of primary and metastatic cancers. Soft tissue tumors could be ablated completely using MWA. However, bony tissue metastasis particularly spinal vertebral metastasis ablation has not reported yet. Case presentation: A 50 year old male patient with primary diagnosed colon cancer undergone surgical resection of ...
متن کاملAdult Wilms’ Tumour: Case Report and Review of Literature
Wilms' tumour (nephroblastoma) is the most common renal tumour in children. Wilms' tumour in adults is extremely rare and has a poorer prognosis than paediatric Wilms' tumour. It is difficult to differentiate adult Wilms' tumour from renal cell carcinoma based on radiological findings alone. The diagnosis in adults is often serendipitous following nephrectomy for presumed renal cell carcinoma. ...
