It is emerging as one of the most promising procedures for patients with painful bone metastasis who are unsuitable for surgery or who show resistance to radiotherapy and/or analgesic therapies. However, there are only scarce reports regarding osteoplasty in painful sternal metastases. Subjects and Method We report four patients with sternal metastases suffered with severe pain of anterior chest wall. The original tumors included lung cancer and thyroid cancer. For the initially pain medication failing, all the four patients received POP procedure under fluoroscopic and cone-beam CT (CBCT) guidance, and obtained satisfying resolution of painful symptoms at 6-month postop follow-up. Conclusion POP is a safe and effective treatment for pain caused by metastatic bone tumors in the sternum. In practice, however, percutaneous puncture of pathologic sternal fractures can be a challenge because of the long flat contour and the defacement by lytic tumor of bony landmarks. We find that the use of fluoroscopic and CBCT can facilitate POP for flat bone fractures with displacing the trajectory planning, needle advancement, and cement delivery in time.","PeriodicalId":508214,"journal":{"name":"International Medical Case Reports Journal","volume":"65 2","pages":"439 - 445"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141049077","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}

Methods Two cases of bleb-associated endophthalmitis were treated with vitrectomy using 0.025% PI in the irrigation solution. The RETevel electroretinographic (ERG) system with skin electrodes was used to assess the physiology of the retina pre- and postoperatively. Case Case 1 was a 46-year-old man who had atopic keratoconjunctivitis and underwent trabeculectomy with the creation of a bleb after there was a rise in the intraocular pressure. One month postoperatively, a mild filtering bleb-associated endophthalmitis developed, and the eye was treated with intravitreal and subconjunctival injections of vancomycin (VCM) and ceftazidime (CAZ). After three days, the fundus was not visible and B-mode echography showed an area of high brightness in the retina. Vitrectomy with irrigation with VCM and CAZ, and 0.025% PI was performed successfully. Pre- and postoperative ERGs showed an improvement in both the a- and b-wave amplitudes and the b/a ratio was stable at 2.0. Case 2 was a 63-year-old man who had undergone trabeculectomy for glaucoma. Five years later, the eye developed blebitis which was treated with topical and subconjunctival injections of VCM and CAZ. Three days later, vitreous opacities appeared and a high brightness area was seen in the B-mode echographic images. Vitrectomy with VCM and CAZ, and 0.025% PI irrigation was successfully performed. Comparisons of the pre- and postoperative ERGs found that the a- and b- wave amplitudes of the ERGs increased and the b/a ratio was stable at approximately 1.5. Conclusion Vitrectomy with 0.025% PI irrigation is safe and ERG recordings with skin electrodes can be used to evaluate the pre- and postoperative retinal physiology safely.","PeriodicalId":508214,"journal":{"name":"International Medical Case Reports Journal","volume":"18 8","pages":"447 - 454"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141043927","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}
