简介:胆脂瘤是由一种能产生角蛋白的鳞状上皮聚集于中耳、上鼓室、乳突、岩尖而形成的,在中耳表现为独立生长、代替中耳黏膜、吸收骨质的三维上皮结构。它不是一种肿瘤,但对患者有潜在的危险。1829年,法国Cruveilhier首先描述多中心的白色“tumeursperlees”(瘤株),1838年,Miiller第一个使用“cholesteatoma”(胆脂瘤)这一术语来描述颅内角化物的堆积。1922年,Cushing提出先天性胆脂瘤的可能起源,1953年,House报道了经典的鼓膜完整的中耳胆脂瘤。事实上,胆脂瘤是一种良性的角化上皮细胞囊,由3种成分组成:囊内容、基质、基质外层。

简介:目的:评价羊膜移植几种手术方法治疗大泡性角膜病变的临床效果。方法:对18例大泡性角膜病变患者,分别采取角膜层间烧烙术、新鲜羊膜移植术、角膜灼烙联合羊膜嵌入移植手术。结果:18例大泡性角膜病变患者,术后1~5d疼痛消失,7~12d角膜上皮修复,7~21d后羊膜植片常规溶解。角膜层间烧烙术1眼、新鲜羊膜移植术3眼术后1~2mo再次出现角膜大泡及角膜刺激症状而再次手术。角膜灼烙联合羊膜嵌入移植术,术后当天疼痛消失,14d角膜上皮光滑,角膜大泡消失。随访6~18mo无1例复发,部分患者视力有不同程度的提高。结论:角膜灼烙联合羊膜嵌入移植对大泡性角膜病变具有明显的治疗效果.
简介:目的:评价大剂量甲基强的松龙对原田病急性期浆液性视网膜脱离的治疗作用.方法:对2001-12/2003-07就诊本院患者11例(22眼)在临床诊断当天即给予甲基强的松龙静脉滴注,剂量为500mg,1次/d,连续用3d后迅速减量,于7d内减为强的松口服.OCT和间接眼底镜观察炎症渗出吸收情况,检查视功能恢复情况.结果:大剂量甲基强的松龙静脉滴注次日即可观察到22眼视网膜下液均明显减少,静滴3d后浆液性视网膜脱离基本消失,视网膜复位,出院时21眼视网膜下液完全吸收,14眼(64%)视力恢复至0.5以上.结论:甲基强的松龙冲击疗法可促进原田病急性期视网膜下液迅速吸收,恢复视功能,疗效可靠,值得临床推广.
