Intervention combined with surgery to eliminate epidermoid cysts Mr. Wu from Pingdingshan, 62 years old, the body has always been strong, but he got a strange disease early this year – the left side of the nasal congestion, the left eye face to face almost can not see the people, but also a headache. He first in the local treatment, ineffective, go to Beijing, Shanghai and other big cities to seek treatment, but almost the size of the country’s hospitals have run all over, there is no effect. Henan Provincial People’s Hospital Intervention Cao Guang Shao Lao Wu got what disease? These hospitals agreed that the old Wu suffered from a “malignant tumor of the skull base”, and the location of this tumor is relatively special, near the distribution of blood vessels and nerves more, the volume is also particularly large, the skull base bone has been destroyed, the tumor has grown into the middle cranial fossa. These hospitals said that the tumor can be surgically removed, but the risk is very high, and it is difficult to remove completely, therefore, the previous hospitals are not active in surgical treatment, which makes the old Wu’s heart is not bottomless. Until early May this year, he heard people say that the provincial people’s hospital intervention department can treat a lot of difficult cases, so with a try attitude to seek treatment here. As Wu in many hospitals have seen, CT, MRI and so on a variety of test results have a whole lot of, based on these data alone, enough to make the later admission of doctors to make the same diagnosis with the previous hospital, but careful attending physician of the Department of Liu Jian feel that not all the results of the examination are pointing to “malignant tumors of the base of the skull” in the end, what will be the disease? Take out some of the lesion tissue to do pathological examination to see the most authoritative. So he decided to use puncture biopsy to take out some lesions to see what kind of disease Zheng had. A check, there is really a big gain! –Old Wu suffered from a malignant tumor of the skull base, but a benign epidermoid cyst only. Due to the large size of the cyst, the cyst produced a lot of fluid and some thicker substances, forming a great compression of the skull base structures, the left side of the posterior nostril completely occluded. In addition, the cyst also has the characteristic of drilling into every crack, causing the adjacent cerebral nerves to be compressed, resulting in vision loss, nasal congestion and a series of problems. So, Wu’s attending physician, Professor Wang Zhenyu, who is the chief physician, master’s tutor, chief expert of Minimally Invasive Interventional Tumor Diagnostic and Treatment Center, chairman of Minimally Invasive Tumor Treatment Committee of Henan Provincial Anticancer Association, and vice chairman of Tumor Particle Therapy Committee of Chinese Anticancer Association, decided to pump out the cystic lesion fluid inside first. This pumping is really a lot, almost more than 60 milliliters, Lao Wu’s nasal congestion, vision loss and other symptoms immediately reduced a lot. After the operation, he bowed to Prof. Wang Zhenyu while he was still on the operating table. The fluid was withdrawn, the cyst wall still existed, and there was still a possibility of recurrence, how to solve it? Prof. Wang decided to take a two-step approach: first, he injected P32 (Phosphorus 32), a blue radioactive drug, into the cyst, causing it to emit rays 24 hours a day, destroying the diseased cells and thus achieving the goal of treatment. Soon, Wu’s cysts were getting smaller and smaller, and he was just waiting for surgery to remove them. Knowing that there is hope for his disease to be cured, Wu was so excited that he pulled his partner and had to kneel down for the doctor. Finally, on August 25th, the cysts were removed with the cooperation of Wang Bin, deputy director of neurosurgery, and outside experts, making the surgery a success. One interventional technique was used to determine the cause of the disease; another interventional technique was used to treat it, and combined with surgery to eliminate the disease in one fell swoop. Wu, who had been misdiagnosed for a long time and had no way to seek treatment, regained his health. Wu deeply touched the reporter said: “the provincial people’s hospital interventionalists are really responsible for the patient ah, do not blindly trust the results of many large hospitals in Beijing and other places, and there is no need to open the minimally invasive treatment method, too God!”
