Methods： The course and therapeutic outcome of 12 cases of glomus tumor which were resected and confirmed by histology examination were analyzed. Results：All cases were followed up for six months up to 2 years, no recurrences were observed, the shape of the nait was normal. Conclusion： Microsurgical treatment of glomus tumors of the nail bed is effective.展开更多

We attempt to make the surgical procedure less invasive by treating selected pediatric patients with trephination minicraniectomy. Methods： We retrospectively reviewed the clinical courses, radiological findings, surgical procedures, and prognoses of the pediatric patients who were treated in our departments for traumatic PFEDH from January 2010 to January 2015. Results： During this period, a total of 17 patients were surgically treated for PFEDH and 7 were managed with trephination mini-craniectomy for hematoma evacuation. The outcomes were good in all 7 patients as evaluated with Glasgow Outcome Score. There was no mortality in this series. The on average 30-month clinical follow-up showed that patients experienced satisfactory recoveries without complications. Conclusion： Our results suggest that trephination mini-craniectomy is a safe surgical technique for selected PFEDH patients with moderate hematoma volume and stabilized neurological functions. However, standard craniectomy is recommend when there are rapid deteriorations in patients＇ neurological functions or the hematomas are large and exerted severe mass effects.展开更多
