The sinusoidal portion of its endothelium contains muscle cells in adults. Is this the same presentation observed in fetuses? Objective: To describe the sigmoido-jugular junction in fetuses. Materials and Methods: Over a period of seven months, a histochemical and immunohistochemical study was conducted on 30 sigmoido-jugular junctions taken from 15 fetuses aged at least 32 weeks of gestation. These fetuses were obtained following expulsion due to intrauterine death, after informed consent from the parents. Results: Three portions can be identified: sigmoid, junctional, and jugular. Histochemical preparations revealed the existence of two constant layers and a third layer present only at the jugular level. From the inside out, the layers are as follows: 1) Inner Layer (Endothelium): This layer is clearer from the junction and reveals the presence of smooth muscle cells at the sigmoid level in immunohistochemistry. 2) Outer Layer: At the sigmoid and junctional levels, this layer consists of collagen fibers and becomes median at the jugular level, where it is composed of elastic and muscular collagen fibers. 3) Third Layer: Present only at the jugular level, this layer corresponds to the adventitia. Conclusion: The architecture of the sigmoido-jugular junction in fetuses, which is identical to that in adults, excludes the metaplastic hypothesis regarding endothelial smooth muscle cells in the sigmoid portion. Instead, it favors their role in regulating encephalic venous drainage.展开更多

Among these, PT is usually associated with sigmoid sinus symptoms, such as sigmoid sinus wall defect or diverticulum, for which various surgical treatments are available. We have discussed the clinical efficacy of surgery for sigmoid sinus-associated PT via the transmastoid approach in this study.Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 4 patients who underwent surgery for sigmoid sinusassociated PT via the transmastoid approach at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January to December2020. Of these, 2 patients had sigmoid sinus wall defect and 2 had sigmoid sinus diverticulum. Postoperative tinnitus grading and surgical efficacy were determined.Results: After surgery, PT dissolved in 3 patients, while tinnitus significantly decreased in 1 patient.During the follow-up period of 12-18 months, none of the 4 patients showed complications related to increased intracranial pressure or venous sinus thrombosis, and tinnitus symptoms disappeared in 3patients without recurrence, although 1 patient occasionally developed tinnitus. Postoperative thin-slice CTA of the temporal bone indicated that the sigmoid sinus bone wall defect or diverticulum was completely repaired with a thick soft tissue coverage.Conclusion: Surgical repair of sigmoid sinus-associated PT via the transmastoid approach deserves clinical promotion as it exhibited better efficiency while being relatively less invasive.展开更多

It is the recurrence of a twisting of the sigmoid loop around its mesenteric axis initiating an occlusion by strangulation. The risk factors of colonic volvulus are: a dolichosigmoid, a chronic constipation, a tumor, …In Western countries, recurrences of sigmoid volvulus after surgery are rare and due to a non resection of a dolicho-megacolon. Most African studies do not report any recurrence of sigmoid volvulus after sigmoidectomy. This work aims to describe three original cases of recurrence of sigmoid volvulus after sigmoidectomy recorded at the University Hospital of Brazzaville and to analyze their causes and surgical management. Clinical Observation: We studied the cases of three male patients, whose average age was 73 years, each of them having a history of chronic constipation and sigmoidectomy for sigmoid volvulus with an average delay of recurrence of 5.3 years. They all underwent emergency laparotomy for acute intestinal obstruction on scarred abdomen. The surgery permitted to unfold a recurrent volvulus of the sigmoid associated with circumferential scar fibrosis on the volvulated sigmoid loop. A second colectomy was performed. The histological results of the surgical specimens were normal for two patients and revealed signs of tissue necrosis for the third patient. The postoperative outcome was without incident for two patients. The third patient died after developing a septic shock. Conclusion: Recurrent sigmoid volvulus after sigmoidectomy is rare. The etiological factors for our three patients were incomplete sigmoidectomy during the first operation and chronic constipation.展开更多
