Pancoast Syndrome
Granuloma, Lethal Midline
A condition that is characterized by inflammation, ulceration, and perforation of the nose and the PALATE with progressive destruction of midline facial structures. This syndrome can be manifested in several diseases including the nasal type of EXTRANODAL NK-T-CELL LYMPHOMA and GRANULOMATOSIS WITH POLYANGIITIS.

Complex Regional Pain Syndromes
Conditions characterized by pain involving an extremity or other body region, HYPERESTHESIA, and localized autonomic dysfunction following injury to soft tissue or nerve. The pain is usually associated with ERYTHEMA; SKIN TEMPERATURE changes, abnormal sudomotor activity (i.e., changes in sweating due to altered sympathetic innervation) or edema. The degree of pain and other manifestations is out of proportion to that expected from the inciting event. Two subtypes of this condition have been described: type I; (REFLEX SYMPATHETIC DYSTROPHY) and type II; (CAUSALGIA). (From Pain 1995 Oct;63(1):127-33)
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
A syndrome characterized by retropatellar or peripatellar PAIN resulting from physical and biochemical changes in the patellofemoral joint. The pain is most prominent when ascending or descending stairs, squatting, or sitting with flexed knees. There is a lack of consensus on the etiology and treatment. The syndrome is often confused with (or accompanied by) CHONDROMALACIA PATELLAE, the latter describing a pathological condition of the CARTILAGE and not a syndrome.

Myofascial Pain Syndromes
Pulmonary blastoma: a report of two cases and a review of the literature. (1/35)
Pulmonary blastoma is the rarest malignant tumour of the lung. Two more cases are reported and the literature is reviewed. The first case, a woman, is the longest recorded survivor. An examination of all the reported cases shows that the tumour is less common and less agressive in women. (+info)Surgical management of superior sulcus tumors. (2/35)
Superior sulcus tumor refers to any primary lung cancer presenting with constant pain in the nerve distribution of the eighth cervical, first and second thoracic nerve roots and Horner's syndrome caused by invasion of the stellate ganglion. The pain is steady, severe, and unrelenting, involving the shoulder, the vertebral margin of the scapula and ulnar distribution of the arm to the elbow and finally to the ulnar surface of the forearm, and the small and ring fingers of the hand (Pancoast-Tobias syndrome). Weakness and atrophy of the hand muscles can also occur as the lesions spreads to involve the first and second ribs and vertebrae. Radiologically, there is a small shadow at the extreme apex of the lung with rib and possible vertebral body invasion. Pulmonary symptoms are less frequent because of the peripheral location of the lesions. Since Shaw and Paulson approached superior sulcus tumors in 1961 by using preoperative radiation-therapy (30 to 45 Gy in four weeks including the primary tumor, mediastinum and supraclavicular region) followed by surgical resection, this radiosurgical approach shortly became the standard treatment yielding better disease control and survival than that offered by other treatment modalities. It has now become evident that en bloc resection of the chest wall, involved adjacent structures as well as lobectomy must be considered the standard surgical approach for superior sulcus tumors combined with external radiation (preoperative, postoperative, or both). The goal of the operation is the complete and en bloc resection of the upper lobe in continuity with the invaded ribs, transverse processes, subclavian vessels, T1 nerve root, upper dorsal sympathetic chain and prevertebral muscles. (+info)Pitfalls and delay in the diagnosis of Pancoast tumour presenting in orthopaedic units. (3/35)
Pancoast tumours present a difficult and peculiar problem. Their clinical manifestations may be extrapulmonary. The underlying lesion may be missed in patients presenting with predominantly orthopaedic symptoms. We present four consecutive cases, which were referred to our clinic and the diagnosis was made with mean delay of 18.5 months from the beginning of symptoms. (+info)Pain-relieving posterior rod fixation with segmental sublaminar wiring for Pancoast tumor invading the vertebrae. (4/35)
We describe the case of a 44-year-old male patient with Pancoast lung cancer invading the vertebrae. Because irradiation did not relieve his symptoms, we conducted tumor resection with posterior rod fixation with segmental sublaminar wiring of the vertebrae. This enabled the patient to walk and to discontinue morphine immediately after surgery. Although the tumor recurred within the region of the fixation 4 months after surgery, the patient complained of no pain until his death. Although Pancoast lung cancer with extensive vertebral invasion cannot be cured surgically, posterior rod fixation with segmental sublaminar wiring with tumor resection can improve a patient's quality of life by providing immediate, long-term pain relief. (+info)Hepatocellular carcinoma with Pancoast's syndrome as an initial symptom: a case report. (5/35)
Pancoast's syndrome refers to a condition consisting of Horner's syndrome and arm pain that is most commonly found in patients with a lung tumor of the superior sulcus invading the upper ribs or spine, lower brachial plexus and sympathetic chain. We report a 76-year-old female who had a thoracic inlet mass that presented as Pancoast's syndrome, showing profound pain, numbness and weakness of the left upper limb. Further evaluation revealed an increased level of serum alpha-fetoprotein (24278 ng/ml), cryptogenic liver cirrhosis and primary hepatocellular carcinoma with protruding T3 vertebra metastasis that resulted in Pancoast's syndrome. To our knowledge, it is a rare case and only one case has been reported previously. (+info)Sequence variability and candidate gene analysis in two cancer patients with complex clinical outcomes during morphine therapy. (6/35)
In this case report, we present genetic differences in two morphine-related gene sequences, UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B7 (UGT2B7) and mu opioid receptors (MOR1), in two cancer patients whose clinical responses to morphine were very different [i.e., sensitive (patient 1) and low responder (patient 2)]. In addition, allelic variants in the UGT2B7 gene were analyzed in 46 Japanese individuals. Amplified DNA fragments for the two genes of interest were screened using single strand conformation polymorphism and then sequenced. In the UGT2B7 gene, 12 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were newly identified with an allelic frequency ranging from 0.022 to 0.978. Six SNPs in the promoter region (A-1302G, T-1295C, T-1111C, G-899A, A-327G, and T-125C) and two coding SNPs (UGT2B7*2 in exon 2 and C1059G in exon 4) appeared to be consistently linked. Remarkable differences in the nucleotide sequence of UGT2B7 were observed between the two patients; in contrast to patient 1 who had "reference" alleles at almost SNP positions, but a rare ATTGAT*2(AT)C haplotype as homozygosity, patient 2 was a homozygous carrier for the predominant GCCAGC*1(TC)G sequence. Serum morphine and two glucuronide concentrations in patient 2 suggest that the predominant GCCAGC*1G sequence was not associated with a "poor metabolizer" phenotype. In the MOR1 gene, patient 1 had no SNPs, whereas patient 2 was a heterozygous carrier for both the G-1784A and A118G alleles. The present study describes substantial differences in genotype patterns of two genes of interest between the two patients. The results necessitate larger trials to confirm these observations in larger case control studies. (+info)Superior sulcus tumors: a mini-review. (7/35)
The management and outcome for superior sulcus tumors have remained unchanged for 40 years. The rarity of these tumors has led to varying treatment techniques spanning decades, from which no solid conclusions can be drawn. Recent advances in combined-modality therapy have offered the first inkling that a paradigm shift is on the horizon. Here, we review the history and new advances in treating this challenging pulmonary neoplasm. (+info)Endovascular management of an unusual cause of pancoast syndrome. (8/35)
Vascular conditions presenting with Pancoast syndrome are rare. A case of vertebral artery pseudoaneurysm presenting with Pancoast syndrome is reported. The aneurysm was successfully treated by proximal coil embolization. (+info)Pancoast Syndrome is a rare thoracic malignancy, typically a non-small cell lung cancer, involving the apex of the lung and resulting in invasion of surrounding structures such as the brachial plexus, stellate ganglion, and sympathetic nerves, leading to upper extremity pain and sensorimotor deficits, Horner's syndrome, and possible atrophy of hand muscles.
Pancoast syndrome is a constellation of symptoms resulting from the invasion and compression of various neurological and vascular structures at the apex (top) of the lung, most commonly caused by a specific type of lung cancer known as Pancoast tumor or superior sulcus tumor. The syndrome is characterized by shoulder pain, Horner's syndrome (meiosis, ptosis, and anhidrosis), and weakness or atrophy of the hand muscles due to involvement of the lower brachial plexus.
A granuloma is a type of inflammatory lesion, and when it occurs in the midline of the face or neck and contains necrotic tissue, it is referred to as a "lethal midline granuloma," which is a rapidly progressive and destructive condition that can be fatal if left untreated.
A lethal midline granuloma (LMG) is a rare and aggressive form of necrotizing granulomatous inflammation that typically involves the nasopharynx, paranasal sinuses, and/or the central nervous system. It is called "lethal" because of its rapid progression and high mortality rate if left untreated.
LMG is a type of granuloma, which is a collection of immune cells that form in response to chronic inflammation or infection. In LMG, the granulomas are characterized by extensive necrosis (tissue death) and vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels).
The exact cause of LMG is not fully understood, but it is believed to be associated with a variety of factors, including infections (such as fungal or mycobacterial infections), autoimmune disorders, and lymphoproliferative diseases. Treatment typically involves a combination of surgical debridement, antimicrobial therapy, and immunosuppressive drugs. Despite treatment, the prognosis for LMG is generally poor, with a high rate of recurrence and significant morbidity and mortality.
The stellate ganglion is a cluster of sympathetic nerves located at the junction of the 7th cervical and 1st thoracic vertebrae, responsible for innervation to the head, neck, upper extremities and heart. (26 words)
The Stellate Ganglion is a part of the sympathetic nervous system. It's a collection of nerve cells (a ganglion) located in the neck, more specifically at the level of the sixth and seventh cervical vertebrae. The stellate ganglion is formed by the fusion of the inferior cervical ganglion and the first thoracic ganglion.
This ganglion plays a crucial role in the body's "fight or flight" response, providing sympathetic innervation to the head, neck, upper extremities, and heart. It's responsible for various functions including regulation of blood flow, sweat gland activity, and contributing to the sensory innervation of the head and neck.
Stellate ganglion block is a medical procedure used to diagnose or treat certain conditions like pain disorders, by injecting local anesthetic near the stellate ganglion to numb the area and interrupt nerve signals.
'Atlas (Anatomy)' is a formal term that refers to a comprehensive illustrated collection of anatomical charts, diagrams, or maps depicting the structures and relationships within the human body, often used for educational or reference purposes in the field of medicine.
An "atlas" in the medical context refers to a collection of anatomical plates or illustrations, often accompanied by detailed descriptions or explanations. A medical atlas is a type of textbook that focuses primarily on providing visual representations of human anatomy, physiology, or pathology. These atlases are used by medical students, healthcare professionals, and researchers to learn about the structure and function of the human body, as well as to identify and understand various diseases and conditions.
Medical atlases can cover a wide range of topics, including gross anatomy, histology (the study of tissues), embryology (the study of embryonic development), pathology (the study of disease), and radiology (the use of medical imaging to diagnose and treat diseases). Some atlases may focus on specific regions or systems of the body, such as the nervous system, musculoskeletal system, or cardiovascular system.
Medical atlases are often used in conjunction with other educational materials, such as textbooks, lectures, and hands-on dissections. They can be a valuable resource for students and practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of human anatomy and related fields.
Complex Regional Pain Syndromes (CRPS) are chronic, progressive neurological disorders characterized by spontaneous or evoked pain and sensory, autonomic, motor, and/or trophic changes, typically affecting a limb after an injury or trauma, with two types differentiated mainly by the presence or absence of a defined nerve lesion.
Complex Regional Pain Syndromes (CRPS) are a group of chronic pain conditions that typically affect a limb after an injury or trauma. They are characterized by prolonged, severe and often debilitating pain that is out of proportion to the severity of the initial injury. CRPS is divided into two types:
1. CRPS-1 (also known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy): This type occurs without a clearly defined nerve injury. It usually develops after an illness or injury that didn't directly damage the nerves.
2. CRPS-2 (also known as Causalgia): This type is associated with a confirmed nerve injury.
The symptoms of CRPS include:
* Continuous, burning or throbbing pain in the affected limb
* Changes in skin temperature, color and texture
* Swelling and stiffness in the joints
* Decreased range of motion and weakness in the affected limb
* Sensitivity to touch or cold
* Abnormal sweating pattern in the affected area
* Changes in nail and hair growth patterns
The exact cause of CRPS is not fully understood, but it is thought to be related to a dysfunction in the nervous system's response to injury. Treatment for CRPS typically involves a combination of medications, physical therapy, and psychological support. In some cases, more invasive treatments such as nerve blocks or spinal cord stimulation may be recommended.
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome is a condition characterized by pain in the front of the knee, specifically at the patellofemoral joint, which can be caused by various factors including overuse, muscle imbalance, or abnormal tracking of the patella, resulting in degeneration and inflammation of the articular cartilage.
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) is a broad term used to describe pain arising from the front of the knee, specifically where the patella (kneecap) meets the femur (thigh bone). It is often described as a diffuse, aching pain in the anterior knee, typically worsening with activities that load the patellofemoral joint such as climbing stairs, running, jumping or prolonged sitting.
PFPS can be caused by various factors including overuse, muscle imbalances, poor biomechanics, or abnormal tracking of the patella. Treatment usually involves a combination of physical therapy to improve strength and flexibility, activity modification, and sometimes bracing or orthotics for better alignment.
"Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, typically described in terms of severity such as mild, moderate, severe or excruciating, and intensity, which may be acute or chronic." (Based on International Association for the Study of Pain definition)
Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage. It is a complex phenomenon that can result from various stimuli, such as thermal, mechanical, or chemical irritation, and it can be acute or chronic. The perception of pain involves the activation of specialized nerve cells called nociceptors, which transmit signals to the brain via the spinal cord. These signals are then processed in different regions of the brain, leading to the conscious experience of pain. It's important to note that pain is a highly individual and subjective experience, and its perception can vary widely among individuals.
A syndrome is a set of symptoms that collectively indicate a specific disease, disorder, or condition, often representing a common pathway or pattern of underlying physiological processes and/or anatomical abnormalities.
A syndrome, in medical terms, is a set of symptoms that collectively indicate or characterize a disease, disorder, or underlying pathological process. It's essentially a collection of signs and/or symptoms that frequently occur together and can suggest a particular cause or condition, even though the exact physiological mechanisms might not be fully understood.
For example, Down syndrome is characterized by specific physical features, cognitive delays, and other developmental issues resulting from an extra copy of chromosome 21. Similarly, metabolic syndromes like diabetes mellitus type 2 involve a group of risk factors such as obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels that collectively increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
It's important to note that a syndrome is not a specific diagnosis; rather, it's a pattern of symptoms that can help guide further diagnostic evaluation and management.
Myofascial Pain Syndromes are chronic pain conditions characterized by the presence of trigger points, which are hyperirritable spots in the fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles), that can cause local and referred pain, stiffness, and autonomic symptoms when pressed or overloaded.
Myofascial pain syndromes (MPS) are a group of chronic pain disorders characterized by the presence of trigger points in the musculoskeletal system. A trigger point is a hyperirritable spot within a taut band of skeletal muscle, which is often tender to palpation and can cause referred pain, meaning that the pain is felt in a different location than where the trigger point is located.
MPS can affect any muscle in the body, but they are most commonly found in the muscles of the neck, back, shoulders, and hips. The symptoms of MPS may include local or referred pain, stiffness, weakness, and reduced range of motion. The pain is often described as a deep, aching, or throbbing sensation that can be aggravated by physical activity, stress, or anxiety.
The exact cause of MPS is not fully understood, but it is believed to be related to muscle overuse, injury, or chronic tension. Other factors that may contribute to the development of MPS include poor posture, vitamin deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and emotional stress.
Treatment for MPS typically involves a combination of physical therapy, trigger point release techniques, pain management strategies, and self-care practices such as stretching, relaxation, and stress reduction. In some cases, medication may be prescribed to help manage the pain and reduce muscle spasms.
The term 'Cervical Atlas' refers to the uppermost and smallest vertebra in the human spine, designated as C1, which supports the skull and allows for its rotational movement.
The Cervical Atlas, also known as C1 or the atlas vertebra, is the uppermost and most superior of the seven cervical vertebrae in the human spine. It plays a crucial role in supporting and facilitating the movement of the head, as it articulates with both the occipital bone (forming the joint called the atlanto-occipital joint) and the axis (or C2) vertebra (forming the atlantoaxial joint). The unique structure of the cervical atlas lacks a body, instead having an anterior and posterior arch with two lateral masses that form the facet joints for articulation with the axis. This arrangement allows for a wide range of motion in the neck, including flexion, extension, lateral bending, and rotation.

Diagnosing Horner syndrome1
- One of the clinical challenges in diagnosing Horner syndrome is differentiating it from physiologic anisocoria, because the pupillary reaction to light is normal with both conditions, and physiologic anisocoria may also be greater in dim light. (aao.org)

Lungs2
Horner23
- [ 9 ] (These carcinomas also cause Horner syndrome . (medscape.com)
- In general, causes of anisocoria that have a mechanical or inflammatory origin tend to produce a sluggish pupillary response to light, unlike Horner syndrome and physiologic anisocoria. (aao.org)
- The presence of a lesion at any point along the oculosympathetic pathway results in Horner syndrome, which is characterized clinically by ipsilateral miosis (from unantagonized action of the iris sphincter), facial anhidrosis, ipsilateral upper eyelid ptosis, and mild lower eyelid elevation (upside-down ptosis). (aao.org)
- One key difference is that pupillary dilation is intact in physiologic anisocoria, whereas there is dilation lag in Horner syndrome. (aao.org)
- In Horner syndrome, the weakened dilator muscle causes the pupil to dilate more slowly, producing an anisocoria that is greatest at 4-5 seconds and less if remeasured at 15 seconds. (aao.org)
- The presence of dilation lag is sufficient to differentiate Horner syndrome from physiologic anisocoria. (aao.org)
- In Horner syndrome, little or no norepinephrine is released into the synaptic cleft. (aao.org)
- A postcocaine anisocoria of 1 mm or greater is diagnostic of Horner syndrome on the side of the smaller pupil (see Fig 10-1). (aao.org)
- In addition, after instillation of topical phenylephrine 10% (a strong, direct-acting sympathomimetic drug), a mechanically restricted pupil will remain small, but in Horner syndrome, it will readily dilate. (aao.org)
- Topical apraclonidine (0.5% or 1%), which is an α2-adrenergic agonist and a weak α1-adrenergic agonist, is used routinely as a pharmacologic diagnostic test for Horner syndrome (Fig 10-2). (aao.org)
