IIH’s prevalence is high among obese women of childbearing age and subsequently coincides with pregnancy. Symptoms vary among patients and commonly present headaches and visual impairment. If untreated, it may steer persistent headaches and lasting visual impairment such as diplopia and scotoma or even blindness. Case Report: We hereby present the uncommon case of an epidural anesthesia for cesarean section in a patient with idiopathic intracranial hypertension and Lumbo-peritoneal shunt that presented to our obstetrics department in labor. First, epidural labor anesthesia (ELA) with a catheter placed above the LP shunt scar was the chosen course of action. However, ELA was converted to an epidural surgical anesthesia (ESA) for acute fetal distress secondary to a placental abruption. Conclusion: IIH usually occurs in pregnant women at any trimester. If undiagnosed or poorly managed, it can lead to drastic complications. As uncommon as it may be, all medical practitioners should be familiar with this pathology even though its diagnostic and treatment are exacting. While the optimal anesthetic management is still controversial, epidural anesthesia proved to be very effective.","PeriodicalId":380400,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surgery & Anesthesia Research","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127503036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bladder diverticula are classified as congenital or acquired. Congenital ones usually appear in young ages with a maximum incidence before 10 years and are usually unique, almost exclusively in males, located posteromedially to the ureteral ostium and resulting from the weakness of the bladder wall in this portion. Acquired ones generally are due to high intra-vesical pressure caused by infra-vesical obstruction or detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia. More rarely are due to wall debility after bladder surgery. Often develop in males after sixth decade, in about 12% of patients with infra-vesical obstruction. Usually multiple and associated with important trabeculation of the bladder wall. If the ureteral ostium is included in the bladder diverticulum, it is called Hutch diverticulum, which is a rare entity, typically in young ages, with few cases identified in the adult.

MRI is the most significant technological advancement in the diagnostic examination of the pediatric spine. The aim of this study was to evaluate the distance between the skin and the epidural space through MRI at three thoracic segments in children aged 0 to 13 years. Methods: Retrospective study with 105 children aged 0 to 13 years in the supine position underwent MRI, and the 2nd, 5th, and 10th thoracic segments were measured. The following parameters were evaluated: skin and the epidural space; needle entry angle between the skin and intervertebral space; and distance corrected by an angle between skin and the epidural space. To compare the proposed data between the samples, we used the Kruskal-Wallis test. The Kruskal-Wallis rank test is a non-parametric method for testing whether samples come from the same distribution. Results: This study evaluated 60 male and 45 female children. The mean distance between Skin-EpiS was 29.27 mm at T2, 26.52 mm at T5, and 24.28 mm at T10, with a significant difference, being the greatest distance found in T2. The Skin-EpiS at T10 was shorter than the other two measurements. Regarding needle entry angle between skin and the three intervertebral spaces, the smallest angle was observed (T2=27.16º) significantly smaller than in the other two spaces (T5=38.68º, T10=39.08º). However, this difference in angle did not result in a significant difference in the distance between the skin and epidural space corrected by the entry angle in the three intervertebral spaces, being practically the same, T2=33.0 mm, T5=34.60 mm, T10=32.1 mm. Conclusion: Precise Skin-EpiS distance information can facilitate accurate needle placement in children’s epidural space and thus decrease the risk of complications. This study in children aged 0 to 13 years provided important information for performing single shots or continuous thoracic epidurals, reducing the potential for complications during its performance.","PeriodicalId":380400,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surgery & Anesthesia Research","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125867603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
