Lactate in fetal scalp blood and umbilical artery blood measured during normal labor with a test strip method.

A new test strip method was used to determine the lactate concentration in fetal scalp blood during normal labor. Sixty-six fetal scalp blood samples were collected at cervical dilatations between 4 cm and 10 cm. The mean lactate value was 1.7 +/- 0.8 mmol/l simultaneously (IS.D.) and the mean pH sampled simultaneously was 7.36 +/- 0.04 (IS.D.). The corresponding values for base deficit was 2.1 (+/- 1.9) and for pCO2 5.8 (+/- 0.8). No difference was seen in lactate concentrations or pH values in early compared to late first stage of labor. The mean lactate concentration in the umbilical artery immediately after delivery was 3.7 mmol/l +/- 1.2 (IS.D.). The method was easy to handle and gave the result within 60 seconds.

Microsurgical replantation of a total scalp avulsion. Case report.

In June 1982, a 9-year-old girl sustained a total scalp avulsion including the entire right eyebrow, the upper third of the skin of the dorsum of the nose and the medial half of the left eyebrow. On both sides the temporal skin was included and in the neck a border of just 1 cm of hairbearing area was left intact. The scalp was successfully replanted. The operative procedures, the pre-operative and post-operative treatment are described and discussed. The follow-up time is 3 years and the sequelae have been found to be minimal.

Giant nevus of the scalp associated with intracranial pigmentation. Case report.

A case is reported of aggressive cellular blue nevus of the scalp. Intracranial pigmentation in association with a melanocytic nevus of the scalp may indicate either benign coexisting melanosis, local extension, or invasive malignancy. The importance of accurate diagnosis is discussed, and the need to be prepared to carry the excision deep enough to include the dura is illustrated.

Nonsurgical approach to congenital scalp and skull defects.

The management of congenital scalp and skull defects, as generally advocated, is surgical. The authors report such a case that was treated conservatively. At her 3-year follow-up review, the patient's scalp and skull defects and other associated cutaneous defects were fully reconstituted. Such a nonoperative approach, while rarely reported, emphasizes the natural course that some of these lesions may follow. The literature on aplasia cutis congenita is briefly reviewed.

Traumatic arteriovenous fistula of the scalp. Case report.

A case of an arteriovenous fistula resulting from an air-rifle pellet injury to the scalp is reported. Traumatic arteriovenous fistulas of the scalp are rare lesions. A suggested pathogenesis is a disruption of the arterial wall and its vasa vasorum with endothelial proliferation to adjacent veins. Classically, these fistulas are described as single channels, but more commonly they consist of multiple connections. Angiography is necessary to delineate the full extent of the lesions unless they are extremely small. Careful complete excision is the definitive management, as recurrences are common.

[A human case of tick bite by Ixodes nipponensis on the scalp].

A human case of tick bite on the scalp was found at a local hospital on June, 1984. The patient, 63-year old female, was attacked by a tick while working in a farm forest which located in the suburbs of Seoul. The clinical complaint was a (worm) mass on the scalp which she thought as a tumor. On admission the patient complained of facial edema and general malaise. After removal of the mass (tick), small bleeding and discoloration were observed around the biting site. The tick was morphologically examined and identified as Ixodes nipponensis. This is the 4th human case of tick bite reported in the literature of Korea.

A case of histologically diagnosed tick infestation on the scalp of a Korean child.

A scalp mass surgically excised from a 4-year-old Korean boy was identified as a tick through histological observations. In sections of the mass, characteristic features of a tick, including its gross contour, cuticular structures, well developed musculature and salivary glands, and the capitulum, were discovered. In particular, the capitulum is anteriorly protruded, which strongly suggests that the specimen be a hard tick of family Ixodidae. However, the present histological features were not enough to determine the genus and species of the tick, because information on sectional morphologies of different tick species is unavailable. This is a rare case of tick infestation on the scalp diagnosed in histological sections.

A case of alopecia universalis without the involvement of scalp hairs.

A case of alopecia universalis in a 45-year-old male was reported. The hair loss initiated on the eyebrows and progressed to the whole body, but the scalp hairs were well preserved. Histopathologic features of eyebrows were compatible findings with alopecia areata. This is a unique case of alopecia universalis without any involvement of scalp hairs.

Giant cavernous hemangioma of the scalp.

In this article, a quite rare giant cavernous hemangioma located in right frontoparietal region of a 16 year-old boy is presented. Cavernous hemangiomas are commonly seen in extremities, neck, face and sometimes scalp, cutaneous or subcutaneous in localization. Giant cavernous hemangioma in the right frontoparietal region have been seen in two cases so far. In this article, we discussed the differential diagnosis, characteristics and therapy methods of giant cavernous hemangioma of the scalp.

A research on scalp acupuncture for cerebral infarction.

In order to evaluate the clinical value of the describes in the Standard Nomenclature of Scalp Acupuncture Lines, 105 patients suffering from cerebral infarction have been treated by needling along the anterior and posterior oblique lines of vertex-temple, and the line 1 and line 2 lateral to vertex. The markedly effective rate was 71.43%, and the total effective rate 88.57%. After treatment, such symptoms as hemiplegia, lingual dysfunction, facial and tongue paralysis, and the laboratory indexes of blood fat, fibrinogen and hemorrheology were obviously improved (P < 0.01 or 0.05). The therapeutic effect of scalp acupuncture was obviously better than that of Western medicine (P < 0.01).

[A case of hemorrhagic non traumatic arteriovenous fistula of the scalp].

Arteriovenous malformation of the scalp in an uncommon disease and treatment for this lesion is difficult and controversial. A twenty-three-year-old male, who reported no history of head trauma, presented with spontaneous hemorrhage from the left temporal scalp. Neurologically he was normal except the tinnitus. Left external carotid angiography demonstrated arteriovenous malformation fed by the superior temporal and posterior auricular arteries. A dilated tortuous occipital artery was also recognized. The lesions were able to be surgically resected, alleviating intraoperative massive hemorrhage by proximal temporary occlusion of the external carotid artery at the left neck. Small feeding arteries from the meningeal artery which were not recognized on preoperative angiography were found at surgery. The arteriovenous fistula was successfully resected without any cosmetic problem.

Knobloch syndrome involving midline scalp defect of the frontal region.

We report on a 4-year-old boy with Knobloch syndrome. He has vitreoretinal degeneration, high myopia, cataract, telecanthus, hypertelorism, and a high-arched palate. He also has a defect of the anterior midline scalp with involvement of the frontal bone as documented by a computed tomography (CT) scan. The brain was normal on CT scan and magnetic resonance imaging. We present a review of the 23 published cases with this syndrome. Our patient illustrates the importance of investigating for underlying ocular and central nervous system pathology whenever midline scalp defects are present.

Angiosarcoma of the scalp and face: failure of an interferon alpha treatment.

Angiosarcoma of the scalp and face is a rare malignant endothelial tumor arising in elderly people. Treatment is disappointing and prognosis remains poor. We report two cases of angiosarcoma of the scalp and face relapsing after classical therapy with surgery and radiotherapy and treated with interferon alpha. The tolerance was poor and the disease progressed 2 and 5 months after the onset of the treatment. When used alone, interferon alpha does not appear as an effective treatment in this kind of angiosarcoma.

Brain electric source imaging: scalp Laplacian mapping and cortical imaging.

This article reviews recent progress in high-resolution EEG methodologies, in particular two widely studied approaches: scalp Laplacian mapping and cortical imaging. The common theoretical background behind these two high-resolution EEG approaches is discussed. The state of the art of the two methodologies are reviewed with examples illustrating their applications in imaging brain electrical activity. The emphasis is placed on the treatment of the mathematical and engineering methods of high-resolution EEG techniques, and reviews of our recent research in both scalp Laplacian mapping and cortical potential imaging.

Scalp vein detected using internal carotid angiography that did not result in venous sinus compromise.

We present an unusual case of a scalp vein detected by using angiography of the internal carotid artery. The vein arose from the superior sagittal sinus and drained into the deep posterior cervical vein via the parietal emissary vein. This scalp vein may be a collateral pathway for venous sinuses; however, the patient had no evidence of venous sinus occlusive disease or intracranial hypertension.
