    Abstract von Hippel-Lindau disease (vHLD) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder with multiple benign and malignant tumors of different organs. We report a papillary cystadenoma of the mesosalpinx found in close association with an adenomatoid tumor discovered incidentally following tubal ligation in a patient with vHLD.

    Abstract Objective: Gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) has emerged as an important therapeutic alternative for different intracranial lesions. We have reviewed our institution's first 1,000 cases of radiosurgeries.
    Materials and methods: We performed a retrospective review (2000-2013) of 1,017 radiosurgeries in 911 patients with various intracranial lesions including vestibular schwannoma (82), meningioma (136), metastatic brain tumors (298), astrocytoma (49), pituitary adenoma (92), arteriovenous malformation (85) and trigeminal neuralgia (169).
    Results: GKRS in different intracranial lesions showed significant variations in outcome and complications. Overall, the local tumor growth control for benign and malignant tumors was 89 percent and 70 percent respectively. The rate of obliteration of arteriovenous malformation nidus was 79 percent. The complete and partial relief of pain in the patients with trigeminal neuralgia was 55.6 percent and 22.4 percent respectively.
    Conclusion: At recent follow-up, GKRS showed good control of different tumor growth, obliteration of AVM nidus and remission of trigeminal neuralgia pain, good overall and progression free survival rate, possible preservation of neurological functions, lesser number of complications, and improvement of quality of life. Therefore, GKRS is an important treatment option for patients with different benign intracranial tumors, AVM and trigeminal neuralgia. However, GKRS is not effective for recurrent malignant tumors in the brain.

    Abstract Objective To review the outcomes and complications of meningiomas treated with gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) as a primary treatment as well as an adjunct therapy. Materials and Methods We performed a retrospective review (2000-2013) of 136 patients with meningiomas who received GKRS. Of 136 patients, 68 patients had recurrent or residual tumors after microsurgical resection, and the other 68 patients received GKRS alone. The study population was evaluated clinically and radiographically after GKRS treatment. Results GKRS in meningiomas showed significant variations in tumor growth control (decreased in 69 patients [50.7%], arrested growth in 47 patients [34.6%], and increased tumor size in 20 patients [14.7%]). Progression-free survival rates after GKRS at 3, 5, and 10 years were 98%, 95% and 85%, respectively. Overall improvement of signs and symptoms after GKRS was 30% (71% versus 41%) compared with pretreated sign and symptoms (p = 0.0001). The Karnofsky performance scale was significantly improved after GKRS compared with the pretreated status (92 versus 80). Twenty patients (14.7%) required resection after initial GKRS. Conclusion These study findings revealed that GKRS offers a high rate of tumor control, preservation of multiple nerve functions, and a good quality of life in both new and recurrent patients with meningiomas.

    Abstract Objectives: Recent sweat chloride guidelines published by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation changed the intermediate sweat chloride concentration range from 40-59 mmol/L to 30-59 mmol/L for age > 6 months. We wanted to know how this new guideline would impact detection of cystic fibrosis among patients who previously had sweat tests done at Texas Children's Hospital.
    Methods: We revisited sweat chloride test results (n = 3012) in the last 5 years at Texas Children's Hospital based on the new guidelines on diagnosis of cystic fibrosis from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
    Results: We identified 125 patients that would be reclassified in the intermediate sweat chloride value with the new guidelines that were classified as "unlikely to have CF" in the previous guidelines. 8 (32%) patients with CFTR gene testing were positive for CFTR gene mutation(s). 4 (50%) of these patients were identified to have 2 CFTR mutations. One had variant combination that was reported to cause CF but all were diagnosed with CFTR-related metabolic syndrome.
    Conclusion: Our findings concur with the new CF diagnosis guidelines that changing the intermediate cut-off to 30-59 mmol/L sweat chloride concentration in combination with CFTR genetic analysis enhances the probability of identifying individuals that have risk of developing CF or have CF and enables for earlier therapeutic intervention.
