1. Transcanal Cochlear Implantation Under Endoscopic Guidance with Canal Closure in a Pediatric Patient with CHARGE Syndrome: A Case Report and Surgical Technique.
PMID:日期:2026-08Cochlear implantation (CI) in patients with CHARGE syndrome presents unique surgical challenges due to complex external, middle, and inner ear malformations. We describe the case of a 3-year-old Japanese boy for whom simultaneous transcanal CI under endoscopic guidance and external auditory canal closure were performed. This approach enabled safe electrode placement and resulted in favorable auditory outcomes, representing a potential novel surgical option for CI in patients with CHARGE syndrome. There are few reports of this type of surgical intervention, and the present case highlights the feasibility and clinical benefits of individualized surgical planning for CI in anatomically complex patients.

2. Spinous Process Plate Fixation Alone for an AO Spine Osteoporotic Fracture (OF) 5 Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (DISH)-Associated Thoracolumbar Fracture in a Nonagenarian.
PMID:日期:2026-08Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) predisposes the spine to highly unstable fractures because of long lever-arm biomechanics. Unstable injuries, including AO Spine Osteoporotic Fracture (OF) type 5, are typically treated with long-segment posterior instrumentation; however, pedicle-screw fixation may be infeasible in very elderly patients with severe osteoporosis, critically narrow pedicles, and/or significant comorbidities. A 93-year-old Japanese woman presented with severe back pain without apparent trauma. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a T12 fracture with DISH, classified as OF5. The pedicles were critically narrow (3.7-4.1 mm), and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry confirmed severe osteoporosis. Because conventional pedicle-screw fixation was considered technically unsafe and excessively invasive, limited posterior stabilization was performed using a single spinous process plate spanning T10-L1. The operative time was 48 min and the estimated blood loss was 10 ml. Immediate postoperative CT confirmed appropriate implant positioning and maintained alignment. At the 1-year follow-up, CT demonstrated solid bony union with preserved alignment and no implant failure; the patient had remained pain-free and ambulatory. This case demonstrates that spinous process-plate fixation can be a minimally invasive salvage option for carefully selected very-elderly patients with DISH when pedicle-screw instrumentation is not feasible.

3. Hemorrhage from a Jejunal Lymphangioma.
PMID:日期:2026-08Lymphangioma is a benign tumor arising from lymphatic vessel proliferation and most commonly occurs in the head, neck, or axilla. Involvement of the small intestine is rare and is often overlooked as a source of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. Because jejunal lymphangiomas frequently present with nonspecific symptoms and may escape detection by conventional upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy or cross-sectional imaging, diagnosis is often delayed. Advances in balloon-assisted enteroscopy have enabled direct visualization of small intestinal lesions, facilitating accurate diagnosis and appropriate therapeutic decision-making. Here, we report a case of jejunal lymphangioma presenting with severe anemia due to active bleeding, which was detected by double-balloon endoscopy and successfully managed by laparoscopic-assisted resection. This case highlights the importance of considering small intestinal lymphangioma in the differential diagnosis of unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding and underscores the clinical utility of deep enteroscopy in identifying rare but clinically significant small bowel tumors.

4. Post-Tracheostomy Fistula Formation Between the Trachea and Left Common Carotid Artery in a Pediatric Patient with Trisomy 18.
4. 18三体综合征患儿气管造口术后气管与左颈总动脉之间形成瘘管PMID:日期:2026-08The long-term survival of individuals with trisomy 18 has improved, and the need for tracheostomy in this population has thus increased. We describe the case of a 3-year-old Japanese boy with trisomy 18 who developed a tracheoarterial fistula involving the left common carotid artery (LCCA). He underwent an emergency tracheostomy for respiratory failure secondary to pneumonia. Massive hemorrhage from the tracheostoma occurred on postoperative day 31, leading to his death. The autopsy revealed that the LCCA originated from the brachiocephalic trunk and coursed medially, forming a fistulous connection with the trachea. This case highlights the clinical importance of preoperative vascular mapping in patients with chromosomal abnormalities.

5. Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Resection of an Upper Mediastinal Ectopic Parathyroid Adenoma.
PMID:日期:2026-08Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is typically caused by a parathyroid adenoma, although some cases arise from ectopic glands. Accurate preoperative localization is essential for guiding surgical strategy, particularly for mediastinal lesions. We report successful video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for an upper mediastinal parathyroid adenoma. A 68-year-old woman was referred for hypercalcemia during evaluation for recurrent ureteral stones. Laboratory tests revealed elevated serum calcium (13.2 mg/dl) and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels (266 pg/ml). Contrast-enhanced computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and 99mTc-methoxyisobutylisonitrile scintigraphy identified a 20-mm mass adjacent to the right esophageal wall. VATS was performed due to the tumor's mediastinal location. The lesion was resected with intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) to avoid recurrent laryngeal nerve damage. Postoperatively, iPTH and calcium levels rapidly normalized. Transient hypocalcemia and mild hoarseness occurred but resolved with calcium supplementation and conservative management. Pathological examination confirmed a parathyroid adenoma without malignancy. VATS offers a safe and minimally invasive approach for upper mediastinal parathyroid adenomas. IONM and vigilant calcium management are crucial for minimizing these complications. This case highlights the importance of comprehensive imaging, surgical planning, and postoperative care in managing upper mediastinal pHPT.

6. Regional Prevalence of Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacterales and Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacterales in Okayama and Neighboring Prefectures, Japan.
6. 日本冈山和邻近县产碳青霉烯酶肠杆菌和产超广谱β-内酰胺酶肠杆菌的区域流行率PMID:日期:2026-08Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) and extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) are representative antimicrobial-resistant pathogens. We investigated the prevalence of CPE and ESBL-E in Okayama, Japan to clarify their current epidemiology and potential clinical burden. Active surveillance for CPE and ESBL-E was performed first, using stool samples submitted to the Okayama Medical Laboratory (Japan) in the years 2024-2025. Screening was performed using a selective agar (CHROMagar mSuper CARBA/ESBL). Phenotypic identification was conducted with the use of a modified carbapenem inactivation method and double-disk phenotypic confirmatory tests. Clinical information including patient age, sex, sampling date, and hospital address were collected, and the data were analyzed according to specimen origin (hospitals, clinics, and health checkups). A total of 2,000 stool samples were screened, of which two CPE isolates (0.1%) and 285 ESBL-E isolates (14.3%) were identified. By specimen origin, the ESBL-E positivity rate was significantly higher in hospitals (17.4%) than in clinics (11.8%). By age category, the late elderly (> 75 years) exhibited the highest ESBL-E positivity rate (22.6%) compared to other age groups. In the clinics and health checkups, infants (0 years) demonstrated high ESBL-E positivity rates (18.2% and 14.3%, respectively). Escherichia coli was the most common ESBL-E organism in the hospitals (77.2%), clinics (88.8%), and health checkups (87.5%). Our active screening demonstrated that the prevalences of CPE and ESBL-E were within the reported ranges; however, in this era of increasing internationalization, continuous surveillance of these notifiable pathogens is warranted.

7. The Impact of Migraine on Cerebral Artery Dissection.
PMID:日期:2026-08The impact of migraines as a risk factor for cervicocerebral artery dissection was retrospectively investigated in patients who had a cervicocerebral artery dissection. We first evaluated the patients' medical records and history of migraine and then calculated the proportion of patients with migraine as well as the relevant vascular risk factors. The prevalence of migraine with respect to the location of the cervicocerebral artery dissection was also identified. Sixty-two patients (37 men, 25 women) had both a cerebral artery dissection and a record of migraine. Among them, 93.5% presented with an isolated headache, and 6.5% presented with a related stroke. Regarding the locations of the artery dissection, 56 (90.3%) were in the intracranial vertebral artery (VA), three (4.8%) were in the internal carotid artery, and one case each (1.6%) was in an anterior cerebral artery, basilar artery (BA), and both the VA and BA. Among the patients with VA dissection, 42 (73.7%) presented with migraines. Among the four patients with dissection of an artery of anterior circulation, only one (25%) had a migraine history. The frequency of migraines tended to be higher in the patients with VA dissection compared to those with a dissection of arteries of anterior circulation. These data suggest that (i) migraine is a potent risk factor for cerebral artery dissection, especially intracranial VA dissection, and (ii) the intracranial VA may be more susceptible to dissection compared to arteries of anterior circulation.

8. Determination of the Side Responsible for Bilateral Pneumothorax due to Pleural Communication.
PMID:日期:2026-06Simultaneous bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax associated with pleuro-pleural communication is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition, most commonly occurring after major thoracic surgery. We report the case of an 81-year-old man with severe emphysema and a history of esophagectomy who presented with sudden-onset dyspnea. Chest computed tomography revealed bilateral pneumothorax with pleuro-pleural communication. Although bilateral chest tube drainage was performed, the primary side of air leakage could not be identified preoperatively. After induction of general anesthesia, a double-lumen endotracheal tube clamping test identified the right pleural cavity as the source of air leakage, thereby enabling appropriate thoracoscopic surgery.

9. Common Bile Duct Stone Formed Around an Ingested Fish Bone.
PMID:日期:2026-06An 86-year-old man presented with epigastric pain. He had previously undergone distal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a 32×17 mm common bile duct (CBD) stone with an internal 20 mm linear hyperdense component. Endoscopic removal was unsuccessful due to the size and impaction of the stone. Open choledochotomy retrieved multiple stones and a calcified fish bone, which was confirmed by infrared spectroscopy using the potassium bromide (KBr) wafer method. Although fish bone ingestion is relatively common, this case highlights that such foreign bodies can occasionally serve as a nidus for CBD stone formation, leading to unexpected and clinically significant pathologies. When CT demonstrates a linear high-attenuation intraductal structure, clinicians should suspect a bone fragment and follow a stepwise approach, considering early surgical intervention when endoscopic extraction is unsuccessful or likely to be challenging.

10. A Novel Flap Design to Reduce Urethral Complications in Anterolateral Thigh Phalloplasty: The Pipe Flap Technique.
PMID:日期:2026-06Phalloplasty is one of the most challenging procedures in gender-affirming surgery, and urethral complications remain common despite numerous preventive efforts. No definitive solution has been established, and many patients still require subsequent corrective procedures. We designed a novel anterolateral thigh flap that creates a planned external fistula at the penile base to mitigate urethral complications. The fistula was closed in a second-stage procedure one year later, and the postoperative course was uneventful. We report a case of a transgender man treated with this two-stage "pipe flap" technique, resulting in satisfactory urinary function. This approach may offer a safe and less invasive option for mitigating urethral complications in phalloplasty.
