Abstract

The authors report on a case of multiple vitelliform retinal cysts which were observed by chance during an examination for an expert opinion on a bulbar contusion. It is shown that these cysts are hard to recognize by simple ophthalmoscopy, but may be visualized by fluorescein angiography in the form of bright circular areas, sometimes differently colored. The developmental mechanism is illustrated with histologic pictures.

Partial nephrectomy in a cystic partially differentiated nephroblastoma.

Cystic partially differentiated nephroblastoma (CPDN) is a rare neoplastic disorder consisting of a well-demarcated cystic lesion of the kidney where blastemal or other embryonic cells are present in the septa of the cysts. Magnetic resonance imaging can detect the cystic character of the lesion and will produce imaging features that are highly suggestive of either CPDN or cystic nephroma (CN) (synonym: multilocular cyst of the kidney), a benign entity. Although malignant potential exists in CPDN, all cases reported to date have had a favorable prognosis after surgery alone. Partial nephrectomy is considered safe, and the treatment of choice in the newborn period. We report a case of CPDN in a newborn that was successfully treated with partial nephrectomy. More than five years after nephron sparing surgery, the involved kidney shows normal anatomical structure except for a diminished upper pole, no evidence of tumor recurrence and good renal function.

Rathke's cleft cyst: a clinical and radiographic review.

We report the case of a 62-year-old woman, who had a 4-year history of progressive visual acuity deficit. On neurological examination, visual acuity was 5/20 in the right and 4/20 in the left eye. A hormonal study revealed hypophyseal hypofunction. CT and MRI scans showed an intra-suprasellar cystic lesion, hyperintense in T1 and hyperintense in T2-weighted sequences. At surgery, the cyst wall was opened and the cavity placed in communication with the subarachnoid space. Histological examination showed a Rathke's cleft cyst. After four years of follow-up the patient's visual deficit remained unchanged, whereas the results of the hormonal assays were normal. An MRI scan confirmed the absence of the cyst. We review 216 reported cases of Rathke's cyst and discuss its pathogenesis, clinical features and treatment.
