Abstract
- Objectives: To investigate the causes of space-occupying tumor bed cysts formed early after glioma resection by measuring the osmotic pressure gradient between cystic fluid, serum, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and propose a new method of bedside ultrasound-assisted puncture and drainage (UAP&D) under local anesthesia for treatment.<br />Methods: Bedside UAP&D under local anesthesia was performed through a burr hole on the skull flap.Following a successful puncture, cystic fluid was collected, while blood and CSF were obtained through vein and lumbar puncture, respectively. The osmotic pressure of all fluids collected was measured. The appearance, biochemical composition, and results of microbial culture of cystic fluid and CSF were analyzed. Within 24 h after UAP&D, a CT examination and Glasgow coma scale (GCS) were assessed.<br />Results: The osmotic pressure of cystic fluid was higher than that of serum and CSF. White blood cell count and protein concentration were higher in the cystic fluid compared to the CSF. Conversely, the concentration of chloride ions and glucose were lower. CT scan confirmed the correct placement of the cysts' drainage tube and that the cysts' volume decreased significantly with continued drainage. Accompanied by a reduction in the volume of cysts, there were significant improvements in GCS score within 24 h after UAP&D. All drainage tubes were removed within 2-5 days, and no puncture tract hemorrhage or infection was observed.<br />Conclusion: The osmotic pressure gradient between cystic fluid, serum, and CSF caused the formation of early post-operative space-occupying tumor bed cysts for glioma. UAP&D aligns with the concept that micro-invasive neurosurgery is an effective treatment method for such cysts.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Ltd.
