Retrospective radiographic analysis of lumbar spine range motion (ROM) after monosegmental fusion and posterior dynamic stabilization at the level L4-L5.Comparison segmental ROM index cranial caudal adjacent levels global stabilization.The postulated advantage nonfusion technology compared with is based on assumption that preservation treated segment reduces incidence effects. Therefore, it imperative to provide evidence devices avoid hypermobility segments because this might substantiate a...
There is a wide variation in the clinical presentation of spinal gunshot wounds ranging from isolated minor stable fractures to extremely severe injuries with catastrophic neurological damage. we aim analyze risk factors for early complications and impact surgical treatment patients wounds. This multicentre retrospective case-control study compare who had those did not. The following matching criteria were used: sex (1:1), injury level (1:1) age (±5 years). Univariate multivariate analyses...
<h3>ABSTRACT</h3> <h3>Background:</h3> Thoracic and lumbar spine injuries may require surgical management, particularly AO Spine types B C injuries. Open reduction fixation using pedicle screws, with or without fusion and/or decompression, is the gold standard treatment for unstable Recent advances in instrumentation design have resulted less-invasive surgeries. However, literature sparse about effectiveness of these procedures The objective to compare outcomes conventional open surgery...
Abstract Background Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative condition characterized by impaired cognitive function. It results in high morbidity, including large number of hospitalizations, and mortality, generating costs to health systems. Objective The present epidemiological analysis evaluated the hospitalizations deaths AD as main diagnosis Brazil between 2010 2020. This endeavor should contribute better understanding its implications. Methods analytical, observational,...
<h3>Background</h3> Factors influencing the length of spinal instrumentation have been mostly evaluated in burst fractures, receiving more attention than other unstable thoracolumbar injuries. We aimed to evaluate clinical factors affecting surgical decision-making and associated complications. <h3>Methods</h3> This was a multicentric retrospective cohort study. Outcomes patients with AO Spine injury classification types B2, B3, C operated through an open posterior-only approach were...
Down syndrome is the most frequent genetic cause of mental retardation. Although usually presenting dysmorphic features and organ malformations, it rarely associated with congenital hydrocephalus. The case male neonate whose hydrocephalus was detected since pregnancy discovered to have at birth reported. Chromosomal analysis confirmed disorder, treated ventriculoperitoneal shunt because abnormal increase head circumference. patient has been accompanied his development considered normal when...
The cerebral proliferative angiopathy (CPA) is an uncommon vascular malformation of the brain, representing approximately 3.4% arteriovenous (AVM) cases, with complex morphology and poorly understood origin. Thus, we present case a woman patient aged 27 years, who performed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain because headache. Extensive was identified right frontoparietal, presence tissue mixed vessel. CPA multiple feeder arteries, absence nidus slowing flow into venous system, confirming...
Abstract The occurrence of herniated disc simulating diseases in neuroimaging it's an uncommon situation. However, due to changes that occur sequestered fragment, some cases can mimic spinal neoplasms. Thus, we present the case a female patient, 60 year-old, with left back pain and leg weakness. Left lower limb presented strength grade IV, positive 45 degress Lasègue's signal patellar areflexia. Lumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed expansive centro-lateral lesion at L4-L5...
Study Design: Cross-sectional survey. Objectives: Assessment of subaxial cervical facet injuries using the AO Spine Subaxial Cervical Injury Classification System is based on CT scan findings. However, additional radiological evaluations are not directly considered. The aim this study to determine situations in which spine surgeons request exams after a fracture. Methods: A survey was sent members from Latin America. evaluation considered demographic variables, routine use Classification, as...
Fasciculations are symptoms present in a broad spectrum of conditions, ranging from normal manifestations to motor neuron diseases. They also represent the main picture benign fasciculation syndrome. We report case such syndrome: 48-years-old woman complaining about fasciculations for three decades who remained with even after compensation disclosed hyperthyroidism. The introduction gabapentin rendered control her fasciculations. available data literature therapeutic approaches revised, as...
Our aim was to evaluate differences in neurosurgeons versus orthopedists access technologies needed perform minimally invasive spine surgeries (MISS) Latin America.We sent a survey members of AO Spine America (January 2020), and assessed the following variables; nationality, level hospital (primary, secondary, tertiary), number spinal operations performed per year, pathologies addressed, performed/year, MISS technology between orthopedists.Responses were returned from 306 (25.6) representing...
Paracoccidioidomycosis is the most prevalent endemic mycosis in Latin America, with a great incidence Brazil. Although common disease, its medullary form rare. We present case report of paracoccidioidomycosis presenting subacute, progressive, spinal cord symptoms, and multiple expansive lesions into cervical thoracic cord. The patient was treated itraconazole showed good clinical radiologic recovery upon six months follow-up.
Objetivo: Presentar una serie de casos pacientes con fracturas cervicales tipo “masa lateral flotante” énfasis en describir el rol la lesión discal potencial inestabilidad segmentaria.
 Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo retrospectivo facetarias flotante”, aisladas, diagnosticadas entre 1 enero 2016 2022. incluyeron lesiones según clasificación AO, por tomografía computarizada y, al menos, 6 meses seguimiento. excluyó a aquellos patológicas, fragilidad ósea...
