Opis:
Vascular tumours and malformations are revealed at birth and do not subside. The aim of the study was to present the principles and outcomes of treatment of patients with arteriovenous malformations treated at the Clinic of Plastic Surgery in Polanica Zdrój in the years 2009- 2010. Only one patient, who had not been treated previously, had the lesion on the cheek removed subtotally and the defect was closed by means of local repair. In the remaining patients, with primary lesions located in the auricle, scalp, and cheeks, the indications for operation included recurrent infections, ulcerations, and first of all, massive, life-threatening haemorrhages. All the patients, treated for many years in other centres, had underwent numerous resection procedures, vessel ligations, embolizations and obliterations. The patients were followed up after the surgery every 6 months. The therapy aim was achieved in all the patients. Vascular tumours were removed totally or subtotally, the lost structures were reconstructed and permanent healing of the wound was achieved. None of the patients developed recurrence of the disease, infection, or bleeding.

Opis:
Hunting Law regulations strictly determines which males of quarry species may be harvested during the season. The age and the antlers of the individual play here an important role. The exceptions are the individuals with malformed and long spiked antlers, that is in a form significantly different from the desirable forms described in guidelines by the Chief Hunting Council. Anomalies in shape, structure and size of antlers are obligatory condition for harvesting the individual. It is generally accepted that such individuals are weaker, less valuable, have defective genes, are sick or injured, and are dangerous for conspecific during the rut. The scientific explanations for the development of an antler abnormalities point out many different factors, including the environmental ones. For many years antlers are used to determine the environmental pollution by heavy metals accumulated in it’s bone tissue what gives precise annul data. The aim of this work was to check whether the frequency of antlers deformation in cervidae species present in the Opole Voivodeship correlate in any way with ontogenetic features (age and body weight), population features (density and size of population) and environmental factors (woodiness, competition). Results could set new directions in researches for causes of antler malformations in cervidae family.
Regulacje Prawa Łowieckiego ściśle określają, które samce zwierzyny płowej mogą zostać pozyskane w danym sezonie. Kluczową rolę odgrywają tu wiek oraz forma poroża danego osobnika. Wyjątek stanowi ą tzw. „myłkusy” oraz „szydlarze”, czyli osobniki mające poroże w formie istotnie odbiegającej od wytycznych określanych przez Naczelną Radę Łowiecką. Anomalie w kształcie, budowie i rozmiarach poroża stanowią obligatoryjny warunek do pozyskania mającego je osobnika, którego uważa się za niepożądanego w łowisku. Powszechnie uznaje się takie osobniki za słabsze, mniej wartościowe, mające wadliwe geny, chore lub zranione, a także niebezpieczne dla innych w okresie rui. Naukowe uzasadnienia powstawania anomalii w porożu jeleniowatych wskazują na wiele różnych czynników, w tym środowiskowych. W ostatnich latach podjęto również prace nad określaniem skażenia środowiska bytowania jeleni metalami ciężkim w oparciu o oznaczanie tych pierwiastków w rogowej tkance poroża, które w cyklu rocznym jest nakładane i następnie zrzucane. Celem tej pracy było sprawdzenie, czy częstość występowania deformacji w porożu u jeleniowatych na terenie województwa opolskiego w jakikolwiek sposób koreluje z cechami osobniczymi (wiek oraz waga tuszy), wewnątrzpopulacyjnymi (zagęszczenie i wielkość populacji) oraz środowiskowymi (lesistość, konkurencja). Wyniki mogą wyznaczyć nowe kierunki w badaniach nad przyczynami powstawania deformacji w porożu jeleniowatych.

Opis:
Objective: Cervico-facial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are complex and rare vascular lesions, and present in 0.1% of the population. Of traumatic or congenital origin, they are characterized by variable growth, and their complications can be disfiguring and potentially fatal. The treatment of choice is embolization followed by surgery if necessary. The main complications are recurrence and postoperative bleeding. Case report: We report the rare case of a 59-year-old female patient who underwent embolization of a right upper labial and jugal AVM, followed by complete necrosis of the right hemi-palatal mucosa associated with dental mobility and pain. Follow-up at 6 months showed complete reepithelialisation of the palate.  Conclusions: Soft tissue necrosis after AVM embolization is a rare event and is more commonly described after embolization for epistaxis. The evolution is generally favourable within a few weeks.

Opis:
Stroke due to paradoxical embolism can be a complication of certain peripheral venous procedures in patients with coexisting patent foramen ovale. There is an established link between venous sclerotherapy and stroke, however there are no known reports of this complication following peripheral arteriovenous embolization.We present a case of a 36-year- old woman who experienced symptoms of disorientation and apraxia following a hypoxic event during percutaneous alcohol embolization of a large arteriovenous malformation in her right gluteal region. An MRI scan revealed multiple foci of restricted diffusion in both cerebral hemispheres corresponding to acute ischemic stroke lesions. As the subsequent work-up revealed patent foramen ovale, we speculate on the pathomechanism of stroke and conclude with a recommendation to screen for patent foramen ovale in patients undergoing peripheral venous procedures including arteriovenous malformation embolization.

Opis:
Hemangiomas belong to one of the most common type of tumors occurring in childhood. They are benign and often do not require any treatment, with the tendency to. frequently disappearing spontaneously at the age of 5-7 years. The tumors usually develop in the head and neck area, whereas vascular malformations (AVMs) are rare congenital anomalies, which may occur anywhere. In upper limb, they may amount to 30-60% of cases. It is common for these changes not to require any surgical treatment. In case they do, the main indications for such treatment of upper limb AVMs may be as follows: signs of compression of the peripheral nerves, limited mobility of the fingers because of the tumor, which entails difficulties in the functioning of the whole arm, pain and aesthetic considerations. Aim of the study was to present the results of surgical treatment of vascular tumors (hemangiomas and AVMs) in the upper limb that was applied in our department, as well as a broader discussion on epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of these changes. Material and methods. In 2003-2011 period we treated 11 patients aged 24-39, suffering from vascular tumors (hemangiomas / vascular malformations) in the upper limb; the group included 3 men and 8 women. In this group we diagnosed 2 cases with arm hemangiomas, 2 cases of intramuscular hemangiomas of the forearm, 2 cases of hemangiomas in metacarpal area, 2 cases of AVMs of the finger and metacarpal area, and 4 cases of isolated vascular malformations (mainly arteriovenous malformations) of the fingers. All preparations were examined histologically. Results. No complications or recurrence were found in 7 cases, recurrences of AVMs were observed in 4 patients with finger changes. In one patient with AVMs of the index finger, we observed a treble recurrence, which severely impaired functioning of his hand. We eventually suggested to him the finger amputation, to which the patient agreed Conclusions. Upper extremity is a rare location of hemangiomas and other vascular malformations requiring surgery. hemangiomas are more common in women, and the occurrence of AVMs in both males and females is similar. Surgical treatment of hemangiomas and AVMs of the upper extremities is doubtlessly an arduous task, which calls for great microsurgical skills.

Opis:
Recent development of medicine allows early intervention during pregnancy or just after delivery in many types of detected congenital malformations. Frequently these tests are followed by significant psychological problems of parents experiencing the unfavourable diagnosis. They have to face a necessity of making a dramatic decision to continue their pregnancy and prepare themselves to living with a handicapped child or to terminate. The aim of conducted research was to recognize experiences, ways of coping and subjectively perceived support of women (21, at the average age of 27), who were found out to be expecting a child with congenital malformation. The pregnant patients, from different medical centres in Poland, were referred to the Department for Diagnosis and Prevention of Congenital Malformations at the Research Institute Polish Mother’s Memorial Hospital in Ło´ dz´ for the final diagnosis and to have further medical treatment planned. The applied research methods were: psychological conversation and the questionnaire prepared especially for that purpose. The main aim of research is to find principles of psychological intervention and the role of psychologist in the multidisciplinary medical team taking care of pregnant woman and child with congenital malformation.

Opis:
Introduction: Some patients with profound sensorineural hearing loss have inner ear malformations. Initially, those were believed to be a contradiction to cochlear implantation. However, with the advance of cochlear implant surgery and technology, it has become possible to treat this group of patients. However, cochlear implantation in the case of inner ear malformations can be associated with numerous surgical difficulties and possible complications. Purpose: The paper aims to present: (1) modern classification of inner ear malformations, (2) surgical and clinical challenges related to all types of malformations, and (3) cases of inner ear malformations identified in the authors’ centers. Material and methods: Of 111 children enrolled for cochlear implantation in three clinical centers, a group of patients with malformations of the inner ear was selected. We analyzed: preoperative imaging studies of patients performed prior to cochlear implantation, hearing tests, surgical protocols of cochlear implantation, results of intraoperative measurements and intraoperative imaging studies. We discuss what is currently believed to be the leading classification of inner ear malformations. Results: In 19/111 (17%) children, we diagnosed severe inner ear malformations in 35 ears. In 13/19 (68%) patients the malfor mations were bilateral and symmetrical, while 6/19 (32%) patients had different malformations in the right and left ear or one-sided malformation. All inner ear malformations described in the classification were found, except for rudimentary oto cyst. The most common are: cochlear hypoplasia, incomplete partition, and enlarged vestibular aqueduct. Discussion: Severe inner ear malformations are a major diagnostic and clinical challenge in children qualified for cochlear implantation. They can preclude or considerably complicate cochlear implantation and postoperative care. Inner ear malformations are found in imaging studies even in 20 to 30% of patients with profound hearing loss.

Opis:
Naczyniaki jamiste(CM) to łagodne zmiany o typie hamartoma. Rozpowszechnienie ich w populacji ogólnej waha się 0,4-0,8% i stanowi ok. 15% wszystkich wad naczyniowych. W częstości występowania szacuje się, że są drugie w kolejności po rozwojowych malformacjach żylnych. Większość ma charakter zmian pojedynczych. W badaniu tomografii komputerowej (CT) zmiany często mogą być nie widoczne, szczególnie gdy towarzyszą im świeże krwawienia. W badaniu rezonansu magnetycznego (MRI) obraz zmian nie jest charakterystyczny z powodu występowania produktów rozpadu hemosyderyny. Naczyniaki jamiste(CM) charakteryzują się dużą zmiennością w czasie. Mogą szybko się powiększać, bądź zmniejszać, rzadko pozostają bez zmian. Badacze przypuszczają, że za szybki wzrost mogą odpowiadać mikrokrwawienia i rekanalizacje po powstaniu zakrzepów. Naczyniaki jamiste w 40% przypadków są objawowe i mogą powodować występowanie bólów głowy, drgawek oraz ubytków neurologicznych. W pracy przedstawiamy przypadek niespełna 6 letniego chłopca, który po raz pierwszy trafił do Kliniki Neurologii i Rehabilitacji Dziecięcej UDSK w Białymstoku z powodu wystąpienia w 16 miesiącu życia pierwszego w życiu napadu drgawkowego o ogniskowym początku z zaburzeniami świadomości. W trakcie 5 letniej obserwacji napady padaczkowe nie powtarzały się. Utrzymano leczenie kwasem walproinowym. Mnogość i/lub lokalizacja malformacji naczyń mózgowych często uniemożliwiają podjęcie skutecznego i bezpiecznego przyczynowego leczenia zabiegowego. Napady padaczkowe u dziecka z potwierdzoną malformacją naczyń mózgowych wymagają włączenia leczenia przeciwpadaczkowego mimo dyskusyjnego związku przyczynowego napadów z anomalią.
Cavernous hemangiomas(CM) are benignlesionsofthe hamartoma type.Their prevalence in the general population ranges from 0.4-0.8% and accounts for 15% of all vascular defects. CM incidence is estimated to be second only to developmental venous malformations taking. Most of CM have the characteristic of single changes. On CT changes may often not be visible, especially when accompanied by fresh bleeding. On MRI the lesion picture is characteristic due to the presence of hemosiderin break down products. CM are characterized by high variability over time. They can either increase or decrease rapidly, and rarely remain the same. Researchers speculate that microbleeding and recanalization after clot formation may be responsible for the rapid growth. CM are symptomatic in 40% of cases and may cause headaches, convulsions and neurological deficits. We present a case of a nearly 6-year-old boy who was first admitted to the Department of Child Neurology and Rehabilitation UDSK in Bialystok at 16-month of age due to the occurrence of the first focal seizures with impaired awareness. During the 5-year follow-up, epileptic seizures did not repeat. Treatment with valproic acid was continued. The multiplicity and/or localization of cerebral vessels malformations often make it impossible to undertake effective and safe causal surgical treatment. Epileptic seizures in a child with confirmed cerebrovascular malformation require antiepileptic treatment despite the questionable causal relationship between seizures and the anomaly.

Opis:
Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) may vary in size and be located in any area of the human brain. In general, FCD causes epilepsy and it is usually associated with mental retardation. Even in case of epilepsy various types of treatment are identified, there is no complete educational therapy for developmental delays caused by FCD. Moreover, there are no works that synthetically discuss the possibilities of supporting such therapy by technology-based solutions. Method: Here, we investigate this issue using a systematic literature review. Results: Despite the fact that we were dealing with the lack of studies on technology-based educational therapy for students with cognitive problems due to FCD, we point out several potential benefits of this type of assistance. Discussion and conclusions: Our study clearly demonstrates that technology may strongly enhance educational therapy for developmental delays caused by focal cortical dysplasia and that there is a need for further neuro-edu-techno (NET) studies on this topic.

Objectives: To investigate the association between per capita pesticide consumption and infant mortality rates from CNS and CVS congenital malformations in microregions in the South and Southeast Region of Brazil. Material and Methods: An ecological study was conducted using data on pesticide expenditure in 1985 and 1996, and deaths caused by CNS and CVS malformations in infants under 1 year old in 1986-1990 and 1997-2001, respectively. Per capita pesticide consumption and infant mortality rates were calculated for each microregion. Microregions were grouped according to quintiles of pesticide consumption, taking the first quintile as reference. The association between pesticide consumption and infant mortality was examined by calculating Spearman correlation coefficients (r) and mortality rate ratios (RR), stratifying by gender and type of microregion (urban or rural). Results: Significant and positive correlations between per capita pesticide consumption and rates of mortality due to CNS and CVS defects were observed in rural but not urban microregions. In general, mortality RRs for the 2 types of malformations in rural microregions were significantly higher in each quintile of pesticide consumption compared to the lowest quintile in the 2 study periods, with elevations ranging between 10% and 30%. Likewise, mortality RRs in these microregions showed significant trends of increase across quintiles of pesticide consumption in both study periods. In urban areas, however, mortality RRs from both CNS and CVS malformations were weak and not statistically significant, and a trend of increase of mortality with increasing pesticide usage was not observed. Conclusions: The results show the relevance of pesticide exposure in rural areas with intense agricultural activity, suggesting that such prenatal exposures may be related with the occurrence of certain congenital defects.

Objectives The aims of this study were: to evaluate the prevalence of abdominal wall defects in the Polish population, to analyze temporal trends in the prevalence, to identify areas (clusters) of high risk of abdominal wall defects, and to characterize, with respect to epidemiology, children with abdominal wall defects and their mothers in the area defined as a cluster. Material and Methods We used isolated congenital malformations (gastroschisis Q79.3 and omphalocele Q79.2 according to the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th revision (ICD-10, the extended version)) data reported to the Polish Registry of Congenital Malformations (PRCM) over the years 1998– 2008 based on the population of 2 362 502 live births. We analyzed 11 administrative regions of Poland with complete epidemiologic data. Results Of 11 regions, 2 had a significantly higher standardized prevalence of isolated gastroschisis: Dolnośląskie (1.7/10 000 live births, p = 0.0052) and Śląskie (1.9/10 000 live births, p < 0.0001). Furthermore, within the region of Dolnośląskie, we defined a clear prevalence of the isolated gastroschisis cluster (p = 0.023). We comprehensively examined demographic and socio-economic risk factors for abdominal wall defects in this area, and we found that these factors failed to account for the cluster. Conclusions We identified a distinct prevalence cluster for isolated gastroschisis, although a precise reason for the disease clustering in this region remains unknown. Cluster identification enables more focused research aimed at identification of specific factors with teratogenic effects.

Introduction: Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are one of the most common vascular malformations of the central nervous system. Symptoms of CCMs are not typical; the disease can be asymptomatic or be manifested by a wide range of neurological symptoms. Purpose: To evaluate chosen epidemiologic and clinical issues as well as advanced imaging diagnostics of CCMs in computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Materials and methods: The study was based on retrospective analysis of CT and MRI examinations from the 5 years period. The analysis covered 61 persons, 29 males, and 32 females. The CCMs were diagnosed based on MRI examination in 43 patients and CT in 13 patients. Results: The rate of CCMs occurrence in own material was 0.2%. Single lesions were present in 90.2%, while multiple in 9.8% of cases. Supratentorial CCMs were observed in 77% of cases whereas subtentorial in 23%. Mean size of CCMs in the supra- and subtentorial area equaled 10.6±6.3 and 15.1±5.8 mm, respectively (p<0.05). Clinical symptoms occurred in 65.8% of patients, most frequently in patients with CCMs above 5 mm or with subtentorial lesions. All CCMs were hyperdense in CT images, with calcifications in 13.1%. In MRI, malformations showed diverse intensity of the central part with peripheral low-intensity rim of hemosiderine deposits in T2-weighted images. Conclusions: The clinical symptoms occur in most cases of CCMs. These patients require periodic follow-up MRI examinations, specifically those with haemorrhagic incidents or epileptic seizures, with large size or subtentorial CCMs.

It is essential to assess whether the basic criteria necessary for implantation are met. Diagnostic imaging is crucial not only in determining candidacy, but also determining the feasibility of cochlear implantation as it allow to anticipate surgical difficulties which could preclude or complicate the implantation of the device. The aim of the study is to present the protocol for the evaluation of preoperative imaging studies with particular focus on the factors potentially affecting clinical decisions in children qualified for cochlear implantation. Material and method: Preoperative imaging studies of 111 children performed prior to cochlear implantation were analyzed: high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of temporal bones and MRI. The assessment was made according to the presented protocol. Results: Pathologies and anomalies identified during the assessment of preoperative imaging studies significantly altered clinical decisions in 30% of patients. In the study group, in 17% of patients inner ear malformations were identified. 2.7% of children were disqualified from a cochlear implantation due to severe congenital inner ear malformations. 9% of the patients have had bacterial meningitis. In 50% of them difficulties related to complete or progressive cochlear ossification occurred. In 4.5% of patients less common surgical approaches other than mastoidectomy with a posterior tympanotomy were applied. Discussion: Preoperative imaging allow for the identification of significant pathologies and anomalies affecting qualification decisions and further treatment. HRCT and MRI are complementary to each other for preoperative imaging. The two modalities in combination allow accurate and optimal evaluation of the anatomical structures prior to implantation. Inner ear malformations and cochlear ossification following meningitis are relatively frequently encountered in children qualified for a cochlear implant.

Opis:
Cel: Celem niniejszej pracy była analiza i ocena poziomu jakości życia osób z malformacją kapilarną znamienia winnej plamy oraz rozpoznanie problemów psychicznych i społecznych w codziennym funkcjonowaniu z chorobą.Materiał i metody: W badaniu posłużono się metodą sondażu diagnostycznego, techniką ankiety przy użyciu autorskiego kwestionariusza ankiety. Badaniem objęto grupę 10 osób, kobiet i mężczyzn w wieku od 19 do 56 lat, którą stanowili chorzy ze zdiagnozowaną malformacją kapilarną znamienia winnej plamy (PWS).Wyniki: Z przeprowadzonego badania wynika, że 9 osób uważa, iż życie z malformacją kapilarną nieco różni się od życia zdrowych ludzi. Aż 6 badanych (nie jest w pełni pogodzona z istniejącym w ich życiu schorzeniem, a 8 osób czuje się „inna” („gorsza”) z powodu obecności znamienia. W opinii 9 osób obecność malformacji ma negatywny wpływ na poczucie pewnosci siebie. U 9 badanych obecność PWS wywołała stany depresyjne. Aż 8 osób deklaruje, że choroba negatywnie wpływa na podejmowane przez nie kontakty towarzyskie. 5 badanych dopatruje się negatywnego wpływu choroby i odmiennego wyglądu na zdobycie stanowiska pracy. Czterech respondentów twierdzi, iż obecność znamienia winnej plamy negatywnie wpływa na ich samoocenę.Wnioski: Obecność znamienia winnej plamy powoduje problemy w funkcjonowaniu psychicznym i społecznym chorego. W związku z tym, zasadne staje się otoczenie osób z PWS specjalistyczną opieką psychologiczną oraz zastosowanie wczesnej laseroterapii wśród dzieci pozwalające zapobiegać potencjalnym problemom w późniejszym życiu. Należy podejmować działania edukacyjne wśród społeczeństwa, mające na celu przeciwdziałanie marginalizacji i ukształtowanie pozytywnych postaw wobec osób cierpiących z powodu PWS oraz innych znamion mogących znacznie wpływać na wygląd zewnętrzny.
Aims: The aims of this work were to analyze and assess the quality of life of people with capillary malformation as well as to check if they experience mental and social problems in everyday life.Materials and methods: A diagnostic survey, a questionnaire prepared for this particular study, was used as a data collection method. The sample consisted of 10 people, both men and women, aged 19-56. The participants were all suffering from port-wine stain.Results: The results showed that 90% of the respondents (9 people) believed that because of capillary malformation their lives are different comparing to those of healthy people. 60% (6 people) did not come to terms with the affliction and 80% (8 people) had an impression of being different, meaning worse, because of the skin marks. 90% admitted that PWS contributed to their depressive state. 80% declared having problems with establishing new contacts. 50% believed finding a job was negatively influenced by the disease and their different look. 40% claimed to have a lower self-esteem because of port-wine stains.Conlusions: The study provided evidence to a claim that people with capillary malformation may experience both mental and social problems. Thus, psychological care is crucial for people with PWS. Furthermore, laser therapy should be introduced among children as it would diminish their chances of having such problems in the future. As far as environment is concerned, there should be an educational program established which would act against marginalization of those suffering from not only capillary malformation but also other types of diseases causing skin changes. Moreover, such programs could help to build positive attitudes towards those people.
