摘要

Objective and Importance: Brachytherapy with the GliaSite? balloon system, is a recently-developed treatment option for recurrent malignant glioma. We report a complication with the intent of supplementing the limited published clinical experience with this device.Clinical Presentation: Following resection of recurrent glioblastoma in the right temporal lobe of a 66 year-old man, a GliaSite? balloon was implanted. Ninety minutes postoperatively, the patient developed left hemiparesis. Imaging revealed an acute infarct within the distribution of the right posterior cerebral artery.Technique: Prior reported clinical experiences were explored to elucidate the potential frequency of neurological deficits associated with balloon inflation, with emphasis on the relative geometries of the balloon and resection cavity.Conclusion: Risk of acute neurological deficits and possible stroke may be underappreciated with the GliaSite? system. Additional investigations into the pressure-volume relationships as a function of resection cavity deviation from spherical shape may be helpful in patient selection and device utilization. Objective and Importance Despite advances in surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, long-term survival of patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remains poor, with the vast majority of patients suffering recurrent tumor. Options for treating recurrent GBM include surgery, chemotherapy (systemic or implanted), and/or radiation. Retreatment with radiation requires focal therapy to minimize the volume of normal brain tissue receiving high cumulative doses. Consequently, various forms of brachytherapy have been used to administer radiation in the setting of recurrent GBM. Recently, brachytherapy using the GliaSite? (Proxima Therapeutics Inc., Alpharetta, Georgia, USA) intra-cavitary radiation system has been reported for recurrent malignant glioma.1,2 The GliaSite? device consists of a silicone balloon that comes in a variety of sizes which can be intraoperatively fitted to relatively spherical resection cavities. The device is then after-loaded by filling with an aqueous iodine-125 solution. Consistent spatial localization of the radiation dose is achievable with this relatively rigid spherical balloon system.3 We present a complication associated with use of this system that may be more common than previously recognized. Clinical Presentation A 66 year-old man presented for resection of a recurrent right temporal GBM (Figure 1).

(Proxima Therapeutics Inc.,美国乔治亚州阿尔法利塔)据报道,腔内放射系统可用于复发性恶性神经胶质瘤。1,2,GliaSite?装置由各种尺寸的硅胶气囊组成,可以在手术中安装到相对球形的切除腔中。然后通过填充碘125水溶液对设备进行后装。使用这种相对刚性的球形球囊系统可以实现辐射剂量的一致空间定位。3我们提出了与使用该系统相关的并发症,这种并发症可能比以前认识到的更为普遍。临床表现一名66岁的男性被提出切除复发的右颞颞部GBM(图1)。
