Prophylactic Use

Sclerosing peritonitis is a rare complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD). In encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS), the most severe form of the disease, the intestine is entrapped in a fibrous tissue, causing intestinal obstruction. Patients are typically seriously ill, with evidence of infection and requirement for parenteral nutrition. A mortality rate of 73% has been reported. There is no established medical treatment and surgery has offered variable results. Our unit provides renal replacement therapy for a population of about 2 million. The prevalent population of PD patients averages 110. The cumulative PD population since January 1993 is 643, with an EPS prevalence of 0.6%. Influenced by the first case reported by Allaria in 1999 suggesting benefit of tamoxifen in treating EPS, we have treated with tamoxifen the four consecutive cases of EPS that have presented since 1999. All 4 patients have survived and recovered intestinal function. All showed prior evidence of peritoneal dysfunction with ultrafiltration failure and were characterized by long duration of PD therapy rather than multiple episodes of peritonitis. We conclude that tamoxifen is a highly promising therapy in EPS, hitherto a usually fatal condition. This description of its efficacy in acutely ill patients with EPS complements its possible prophylactic use in patients with the earlier and milder disease, sclerosing peritonitis. A high index of clinical suspicion for sclerosing peritonitis is desirable, perhaps facilitated by routine screening of at-risk patients.

Legal Consequences

We report two cases of femoral vein thrombosis after arterial PTA and subsequent pressure stasis. We discuss the legal consequences of these complications for information policies. Because venous thrombembolism following an arterial PTA might cause serious sequel or life threatening complications, there is a clear obligation for explicit information of the patients about this rare complication.

Occluding Balloon

Acquired renal arteriovenous fistula is a rare complication following a nephrectomy and its diagnosis may be made many years after the intervention. The closure of the fistula is advisable in most cases, since it represents a risk for heart failure and rupture of the vessel. There are an increasing number of publications describing different techniques of occlusion. The case of a 70-year-old woman with abdominal discomfort due to a large renal arteriovenous fistula, 45 years after nephrectomy, is presented and current literature is reviewed. Percutaneous embolization was performed by placing an occluding balloon through the draining vein followed by the release of nine coils through arterial access. One day after successful occlusion of the fistula, clinical symptoms disappeared.

Internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of deep neck infections. The authors report the case of a 17-year-old male who presented to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology with an acute tonsillitis requiring tonsillectomy. Four weeks after the surgery the patient was readmitted because of progressive swallowing, trismus, and worsening headache. Computed tomography revealed a pseudoaneurysm of the left internal carotid artery in the extracranial segment. A bare Wallstent was implanted primarily and a complete occlusion of the pseudoaneurysm was achieved. The endovascular approach is a quick and safe method for the treatment of a pseudoaneurysm of the internal carotid artery.

AbstractNonketotic hyperglycemic chorea-ballism (NKHCB), also known as diabetic striato-pathy (DS) by some, is a rare complication of diabetes mellitus and uncommon in children. We report a case of a 10 11/12-year-old boy of Asian descent with uncontrolled type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and multiple food allergies presenting with bilateral chorea-ballism. His brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed developmental venous anomaly in right parietal lobe and right cerebellum, no focal lesions or abnormal enhancements. Choreiform movements resolved with correction of hyperglycemia. Children and adolescents with a movement disorder should be evaluated for diabetes mellitus, especially with increasing prevalence and insidious nature of T2DM associated with obesity.
