A successful vaginal delivery should be possible in these circumstances. This is particularly the case where the fetus weighs less than 3800g, is a frank or complete breech presentation, labour progresses at a satisfactory rate, and breech extraction is not required. The current accepted optimal mode of delivery of a fetus presenting by the breech is Caesarean section when labour occurs or close to term, because vaginal delivery is associated with a marked increase in risk to the fetus. Despite this knowledge, some patients would prefer to attempt a vaginal delivery. The accoucheur then has a responsibility to ensure this is not likely to be further complicated by an abnormality which would increase the fetal risks even more dramatically. Providing everything progresses normally, the risks to the fetus during labour and delivery would be low, and therefore awaiting spontaneous onset of labour is the correct response in this situation (E is correct). Ultrasound examination is required to rule out a footling breech or knee presentation, and extension of the fetal head. All of these would be associated with a high risk to the fetus if vaginal delivery was attempted. This test, although advisable, is not mandatory to assess fetal size, as its accuracy is ± 20%. X-ray pelvimetry is not necessary as she has already shown she has an adequate pelvis, having delivered a 3900g baby previously. Induction is best avoided in breech presentation for a number of reasons (cord prolapse, need for augmentation).
The critical points that lead to the diagnosis of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in this boy are his age, sex and the nature of the vomitus. Vomiting has become forceful and is not bile stained, suggesting that an obstruction is present proximal to the entrance of the bile duct. Small bowel obstructions are likely to present soon after birth in the immediate neonatal period, as they are atresias or stenoses or associated with obstruction to the duodenum as part of volvulus/malrotation of the large gut. Gastroenteritis should usually be associated with diarrhoea and would not have continued for ten days without the child looking unwell. The presentation of intussusception is of sudden onset of colic associated with vomiting over a matter of hours. While brain tumours are associated with vomiting in older children, they are unusual in this age. The pattern of vomiting is usually effortless and in the early morning. A 4-week-old infant has nonfused cranial sutures, so raised intracranial pressure results in an enlarged head rather than vomiting. The vomitus in pyloric stenosis may have a coffee grounds appearance after repeated vomiting due to tearing of the gastric mucosa and associated bleeding into the stomach. Usually the vomitus is of milk or whatever fluid has been taken and is not bile stained. The combination of these features make hypertrophic pyloric stenosis the only possible diagnosis (A is correct). This is a classical story and, as the muscle hypertrophies and obstructs the gastric outlet, vomiting becomes more projectile, the baby loses weight and eventually becomes very ill with gross electrolyte and fluid imbalance. In the early stages, the baby may remain fairly well and appear hungry as small amounts of fluid are retained. Treatment is by Ramstedt pyloromyotomy, splitting the muscle layer to the mucosa.
The scenario suggests a unilateral lower limb nerve palsy in this 64-year-old woman. Her symptoms of dragging her foot and numbness and pins and needles in the leg could be due to a peripheral neuropathy or a lesion at a higher level. Muscle weakness and sensory loss are the findings on examination. The details of her motor and sensory findings are required to determine the level of the lesion. Her motor losses are weakness of ankle dorsiflexion (extension) and of inversion/eversion. Ankle extensors, invertors and evertors are all supplied from the L5 nerve root via the lumbosacral plexus, sciatic nerve and common peroneal nerve (lateral popliteal nerve) distribution. No tendon reflex depends on the L5 motor root. The L5 nerve root dermatome involves the outer aspect of the leg below the knee, and extends to the dorsum of the foot, and to the great and inner toes. All the clinical features provided are thus consistent with an L5 nerve root lesion (B is correct). Clearly this is not an L4 nerve root lesion - L4 root fibres are distributed through femoral and obturator nerves, as well as the 'sciatic nerve' and would cause sensory loss on the inner side of the leg below the knee, not on the outer side. The motor weakness from an L4 root lesion could include weakness of the hip and knee extensors, as well as ankle extension and inversion, but not ankle eversion. The knee jerk (L3, L4) may also be affected. The other three responses involving peripheral nerves of the lower limb are also inconsistent with the clinical features. The superficial peroneal nerve (musculocutaneous nerve) is one of the terminal branches of the common peroneal (lateral popliteal) nerve. The common peroneal nerve follows the tendon of biceps femoris to the head of the fibula, winds round the neck of the fibula (where it is very vulnerable to extrinsic compression or trauma), and divides at this site into the superficial and deep peroneal nerves. The superficial peroneal nerve supplies the peroneal muscles longus and brevis, which evert the ankle, and the skin of the outer leg below the knee and virtually all the dorsum of the foot and toes. The ankle and toe extensors (tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus) are supplied by the deep peroneal (anterior tibial) nerve, which is almost entirely motor, with a small terminal sensory contribution to the skin on the dorsum between the great and second toes. The tibial nerve (medial popliteal/posterior tibial nerve) is the second terminal branch of the sciatic nerve, continuing its course down the midline of the posterior calf, supplying the posterior flexor muscles and then the short muscles of the foot, together with sensation to the sole and toes and back of the lower leg. The sciatic nerve is the largest of the main lower limb nerves and gives motor supply to virtually all the lower limb muscles except the extensors of the knee (femoral nerve) and adductors of the hip (obturator nerve). The sensory distribution is correspondingly widespread and covers all but the front and sides of thigh, and the inner side of lower leg to the level of the ankle. The sciatic nerve is vulnerable to trauma from posterior hip dislocations and from misplaced buttock injections, and divides above the popliteal fossa into common peroneal and tibial nerves. It can be seen that the peripheral nerve lesion which most closely could mimic an L5 nerve root lesion would be a lesion of the common peroneal nerve (not given as a distractor), which would give motor and sensory losses involving anterior and peroneal compartment muscular weakness and sensory loss similar to the L5 root lesion. Differentiation between a central L5 nerve root lesion and a peripheral common peroneal nerve lesion is usually apparent from the associated features of the patient's presentation. For example, by a history of back pain and sciatica and other features of radiculopathy (L5 nerve root); or by evidence of a knee injury or iatrogenic compression of the peripheral nerve (common peroneal nerve). Diabetes mellitus is an important contribution both to peripheral nerve neuropathies, and less commonly to lumbosacral plexus neuropathy (diabetic amyotrophy). Following is a summary of the major features of lower limb nerve palsies. • Nerve root lesions (radiculopathies) are usually associated with impingement from intervertebral disc injury of which L5/S1 and L4/L5 are the most common usually causing S1 and L5 radiculopathies respectively. • L4 radiculopathy gives impaired knee jerk reflex and quadriceps strength and impaired ankle inversion with sensory impairment of inner lower leg. • L5 radiculopathy gives no tendon reflex impairment, but causes foot drop and impaired strength of ankle and toe extension, specifically of extensor hallucis longus, with sensory impairment of outer lower leg and inner toes, and a high-stepping slapping gait. • S1 radiculopathy gives impaired ankle jerk and plantar reflex, weakness of ankle plantar flexion and sensory impairment of outer toes and sole. • Sciatic nerve palsy gives impaired knee flexion, and impaired ankle extension and flexion leading to foot drop, and widespread sensory loss. • Common peroneal nerve palsy gives findings very similar to an L5 nerve root impairment but is usually clearly distinguishable by the history of presentation.
手术推迟十天对预后或治疗有效性无影响。 常被患者及其家属忽视的一点是,医生的职责 - 特别是程序性医生 - 超越手术本身。 术后立即期可能比手术本身引起更多焦虑。许多程序性医生 - 特别是进行重大干预如本案例计划手术 - 努力确保如果他们离开工作,他们不留下任何潜在问题未受关注。这可能在大医院不是问题,因为其他专科人员可用,但它仍然是良好医疗实践提供患者进入医院直到他们离开时刻的直接护理。 因此,转诊医生能给予的最佳建议是支持专科医生的conscientiousness并让患者确信10天延迟对其治疗影响最小,最不可能影响其预后(E是正确的)。 严格来说,专科医生建议是正确的,但为何它对患者产生如此负面效果并引起如此多怨恨?外科医生是否以不同方式对待患者以实现更好结果? 该场景基本是关于向焦虑患者传达坏消息,其初始对立即治疗的期望被延迟和手术推迟粉碎。诊断和现实是癌症是毁灭性和极度焦虑引发对大多数患者及其支持网络。失眠,厌食和灾难性恐慌想法在早期调整期是通常反应。许多患者对疾病器官产生一种复仇感并想立即移除。 该男子对治疗延迟反应表明其外科医生,虽然谨慎和善意,无意中进一步创伤患者并添加感知伤害。有六类临床医生沟通风格:inexperienced;emotionally burdened;rough and ready;benevolent but tactless(可能该外科医生风格在此场景);distant;和empathic professional。大多数患者偏好最后品质在其临床医生,他们期望诚实,鼓励和希望。他们想要与其专科医生,无论外科医生或医生,建立良好关系,他们希望医生关注其警报和恐惧并以尊重和同情对待其担忧。 作为转诊医生,你应提供关注和rapport。外科医生自身可能需要学习更多关于患者中心沟通和向患者传达坏消息以更巧妙方式刺激希望并减轻焦虑。 所有其他回答都可能干扰患者与外科医生关系并强化焦虑。
