The authors report the case of a 16-year-old boy with pre-B cell acute lymphocytic leukemia diagnosed 2 weeks earlier. On workup for diffuse headaches he was found to have 10-mm bilateral subdural hygromas with compression of the underlying gyri. He was followed clinically, and 4 days after his initial presentation he underwent MRI studies of the brain, which showed complete resolution of the subdural fluid collections. No change in management was noted during these 4 days. This case is the first known instance of rapid, spontaneously disappearing bilateral subdural hygromas in a pediatric patient.

Reduced Mobility

In Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia motility of lymphocytes is associated with dissemination of malignancy and establishment of metastatic foci. Normal and leukemic lymphocytes in circulation reach solid tissues where due to in adequate perfusion some cells get trapped among tissue spaces. Although normal lymphocytes reenter into circulation leukemic lymphocytes are thought to remain entrapped owing to reduced mobility and form secondary metastasis. Cell surface, transmembrane interactions, cytoskeleton and level of cell differentiation are implicated in lymphocyte mobility. An attempt has been made to correlate ultrastructural information with quantitative data obtained by Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV). TEM of normal & leukemic lymphocytes revealed heterogeneity in cell populations ranging from well differentiated (Fig. 1) to poorly differentiated cells (Fig. 2). Unlike other cells, surface extensions in differentiated lymphocytes appear to originate by extrusion of large vesicles in to extra cellular space (Fig. 3). This results in persistent unevenness on lymphocyte surface which occurs due to a phenomenon different from that producing surface extensions in other cells.

Dose Methotrexate

Background: High-dose methotrexate (HDMTX) is likely to cause a number of side effects and manifest itself as hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, mucositis, and neurotoxicity. A several studies demonstrated the efficacy of extracorporeal detoxification methods such as plasma exchange, hemodialysis (HD), HD filtration, and hemoperfusion for the treatment of MTX delayed clearance. However, none of the existing methods as effective as expected and limited for general implementation due to a procedure-related complication. Case Report: Here, we report a successful implementation of HA-230 hemoadsorption procedure to remove cumulated MTX from the body and reduce its toxicity in a child with ALL after high-dose chemotherapy. Results and Conclusion: Based on our results, single-hemoadsorption procedure with the HA-230 adsorber in case of delayed methotrexate clearance was safe and well-tolerated in a pediatric patient with ALL and would significantly improve the patient’s condition. Further studies need to demonstrate its safety and efficacy in a large number of pediatric patients.
