PURPOSE One of the most important prognostic factors in the thrombolytic treatment of acute ischemic stroke is the time to recanalization. To shorten the recanalization time, an antiplatelet agent, abciximab (platelet glycoprotein receptor IIb/IIIa antagonist), was administered intravenously before the initiation of local intraarterial urokinase thrombolysis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of this combined therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 26 patients with acute ischemic stroke (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score >10) were enrolled in this study. In the earlier phase of this study, conventional local intraarterial urokinase thrombolysis was performed in 16 patients (urokinase group). In the later phase, combined use of intravenous abciximab and local intraarterial urokinase thrombolysis was performed in 10 patients (urokinase + abciximab group). Recanalization rate (Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction grade >or=2), total amount of urokinase used, incidence of symptomatic hemorrhage, and better functional outcome rate (modified Rankin scale <or=2) were compared between the two groups with use of the Fisher exact test or Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS The recanalization rate in the urokinase + abciximab group (90%, nine of 10) was significantly higher than that in the urokinase group (43.8%, seven of 16) (P =.037). The mean amount of urokinase required for recanalization was significantly lower in the urokinase + abciximab group (828,000 IU vs 418,000 IU; P <.005). As for the incidence of symptomatic hemorrhage, no significant difference was noted between the two groups (four of 16 vs three of 10) (P = 1.0). The urokinase + abciximab group showed a trend of better functional outcome (50% vs 80%; P =.2). CONCLUSIONS Combined therapy employing intravenous abciximab and local intraarterial urokinase thrombolysis showed a marked improvement in recanalization rate and showed a trend of better functional outcome. The safety of this regimen still remains to be justified with modification of the indication and regimen dosage.

Objective We wanted to investigate the relationship between the magnetic resonance (MR) findings and the clinical outcome after treatment with non-surgical transforaminal epidural steroid injections (ESI) for lumbar herniated intervertebral disc (HIVD) patients. Materials and Methods Transforaminal ESI were performed in 91 patients (50 males and 41 females, age range: 13-78 yrs) because of lumbosacral HIVD from March 2001 to August 2002. Sixty eight patients whose MRIs and clinical follow-ups were available were included in this study. The medical charts were retrospectively reviewed and the patients were divided into two groups; the successful (responders, n = 41) and unsatisfactory (non-responders, n = 27) outcome groups. A successful outcome required a patient satisfaction score greater than two and a pain reduction score greater than 50%. The MR findings were retrospectively analyzed and compared between the two groups with regard to the type (protrusion, extrusion or sequestration), hydration (the T2 signal intensity), location (central, right/left central, subarticular, foraminal or extraforaminal), and size (volume) of the HIVD, the grade of nerve root compression (grade 1 abutment, 2 displacement and 3 entrapment), and an association with spinal stenosis. Results There was no significant difference between the responders and non-responders in terms of the type, hydration and size of the HIVD, or an association with spinal stenosis (p> 0.05). However, the location of the HIVD and the grade of nerve root compression were different between the two groups (p< 0.05). Conclusion MRI could play an important role in predicting the clinical outcome of non-surgical transforaminal ESI treatment for patients with lumbar HIVD.

PURPOSE To demonstrate the usefulness of ultrasonography (US) in the detection of anatomic variations in the first extensor compartment of the wrist in patients with de Quervain disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS The institutional review board approved this study protocol and waived the informed consent requirement. Fifteen wrists in 13 women (age range, 41-62 years) in whom de Quervain disease was clinically diagnosed and who underwent surgery for intractable pain were included. A musculoskeletal radiologist performed US before surgery. The absence or presence and extent of subcompartmentalization within the first extensor compartment and the number of abductor pollicis longus (APL) and extensor pollicis brevis (EPB) tendon slips were evaluated and recorded. Preoperative US findings were compared with surgical records and photographs. RESULTS Subcompartmentalization within the first extensor compartment was observed during surgery in 11 of the 15 wrists (73%), including four (27%) that had subcompartmentalization only in the distal portion of this compartment. US was used to identify all 11 wrists showing subcompartmentalization within this compartment (sensitivity, 100%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 74%, 100%), as well as three of the four wrists with distal incomplete subcompartmentalization. There was one wrist with false-positive distal incomplete subcompartmentalization. US had a positive predictive value in the detection of subcompartmentalization of 73% (95% CI: 47%, 91%). The number of tendon slips in this compartment detected with US was identical to that identified at surgery with one exception. CONCLUSION US can be used to depict various types of anatomic variations in the first extensor compartment in patients with de Quervain disease.

The purpose of this study is to present the characteristic HRCT findings of the lung parenchyma in patients with proximal interruption of the right main pulmonary artery. HRCT findings of proximal interruption of the right pulmonary artery demonstrated reticular opacities, septal thickening, subpleural consolidation, cystic lung changes, and pleural thickening in all 5 patients; bronchial dilation and bronchial wall thickening in 4 patients; and subpleural ground glass opacity (GGO) in 3 patients. The changes may be caused by absent pulmonary artery perfusion and development of systemic vessel collateralization.

Ultrasonography for nerve compression syndromes of the upper extremity

Soo-Jung Choi; Jae Hong Ahn; Dae Shik Ryu; Chae Hoon Kang; Seung Moon Jung; Man Soo Park; Dong-Rock Shin

Nerve compression syndromes commonly involve the nerves in the upper extremity. High-resolution ultrasonography (US) can satisfactorily assess these nerves and may detect the morphological changes of the nerves. US can also reveal the causes of nerve compression when structural abnormalities or space-occupying lesions are present. The most common US finding of compression neuropathy is nerve swelling proximal to the compression site. This article reviews the normal anatomic location and US appearances of the median, ulnar, and radial nerves. Common nerve compression syndromes in the upper extremity and their US findings are also reviewed.

Treatment of Internal Carotid Artery Dissections with Endovascular Stent Placement: Report of Two Cases

Deok Hee Lee; Seung Ho Hur; Hyeon Gak Kim; Seung Mun Jung; Dae Sik Ryu; Man Soo Park

Extracranial carotid artery dissection may manifest as arterial stenosis or occlusion, or as dissecting aneurysm formation. Anticoagulation and/or antiplatelet therapy is the first-line treatment, but because it is effective and less invasive than other procedures, endovascular treatment of carotid artery dissection has recently attracted interest. We encountered two consecutive cases of trauma-related extracranial internal carotid artery dissection, one in the suprabulbar portion and one in the subpetrosal portion. We managed the patient with suprabulbar dissection using a self-expandable metallic stent and managed the patient with subpetrosal dissection using a balloon-expandable metallic stent. In both patients the dissecting aneurysm disappeared, and at follow-up improved luminal patency was observed.

Objective We observed patients in whom the fluid collection in the right lateral portion of the superior aortic recess on computed tomography (CT) scans mimicked a right anterior mediastinal mass on chest PA radiographs. The purpose of this study was to assess chest PA and CT features of these patients. Materials and Methods All chest PA radiographs and CT scans in 9 patients were reviewed by two radiologists on a consensus basis; for the presence of pleural effusion, pulmonary edema and heart size on chest PA radiographs. For the portion of the fluid collection in the superior aortic recess (SAR), a connection between the right lateral portion of the SAR (rSAR) and posterior portion of the SAR (pSAR) on CT scans, and the distance between the right lateral margin of the rSAR and the right lateral margin of the superior vena cava. Results Fluid collection in the rSAR on CT scans caused a right anterior mediastinal mass or a bulging contour on chest PA radiographs in all women patients. All patients showed cardiomegaly, five patients had pleural effusion, and two patients had mild pulmonary edema. Further, eight patients showed a connection between the rSAR and the pSAR. Conclusion The characteristic features of these patients are the right anterior mediastinal mass-like opacity due to fluid collection in the rSAR, are bulging contour with a smooth margin and cardiomegaly regardless of pulmonary edema on the chest PA radiographs, and fluid connection between the rSAR and the pSAR on CT scans.
