The purpose of this study was to evaluate the spectrum MR findings brain in asymptomatic patients affected with thalassemia intermedia or sickle cell-thalassemia disease prevent damage by identifying at risk for stroke so that transfusional pharmacologic treatment could be implemented.Forty-one who were younger than 50 years and minor hemoglobinopathies underwent imaging brain. Ischemic lesions classified as small, medium, large single multifocal. Atrophic changes graded subjectively mild,...
Background Treatment of spinal metastatic lesions by radiofrequency ablation (RFA) before cementation can potentially help in local tumor control and pain relief. This is often limited access location. study reports multicenter clinical imaging outcomes following targeted RFA (t-RFA) cement augmentation neoplastic the spine. Material methods A retrospective 49 patients with 72 painful vertebral lesions, evaluated for was undertaken. Visual Analogue Pain score (VAS) Oswestry Disability Index...
Vertebral augmentation has been used to treat painful vertebral compression fractures and metastatic lesions in millions of patients around the world. An international group subject matter experts have considered evidence, including but not limited mortality. These considerations led them ask whether it is appropriate allow subjective measure pain so dominate clinical decision proceed with augmentation. The discussions that ensued are related below.
The possibility of increasing Hb F in vivo using drugs like 5-azacy-tidine, hydroxyurea, and butyrate has been established. However, many cases this does not entail an increase total hemoglobin. We report on a patient with Lepore/β-thalassemia being treated hydroxyurea (30 mg/Kg/day) because the presence erythroid extra-medullary masses severe neurological abnormalities. During therapy showed remarkable improvement signs due to reduction masses, significant both hemoglobin (from 5.8 9.7...

Bone metastases account for 10% to 30% of secondary tumors in all cancer types. In patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), bone are usually treated by nonoperative procedures including pain medication, radiotherapy, hormone therapy, chemotherapy, and bisphosphonates. Surgical treatments include vertebrectomy, reconstruction a cage or polymethylmethacrylate cement, stabilization pedicle screws. Sacroplasty treat from HCC has been rarely reported the literature. We describe case...
Purpose Lumbar spinal canal stenosis and lumbar foraminal are common, degenerative pathologies which can result in neurogenic claudication have a negative impact on function quality of life. Percutaneous interspinous devices (PIDs) recently-developed, minimally-invasive, alternative treatment option. This study details 9 year single-centre experience with PIDs examines the complementary use spinous process augmentation (spinoplasty) to reduce failure rates. Methods A retrospective cohort...
Trigeminal neuralgia and cerebellopontine‐angle lipomas are very rare in children. We describe the history findings of an 8‐year‐old boy with right trigeminal a lipoma detected by magnetic resonance imaging at level root‐entry zone seventh cranial nerve. propose possible mechanism infiltration rootlets lipoma.
Lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSCS) is one of the most common degenerative diseases in elderly patients. Failure he treatment can occur, generally related to bone remodelling/fracture spinous processes. PMMA augmentation posterior arch (spinoplasty, SP) has recently been proposed case neoplastic involvement. This study evaluated efficacy SP as a prophylactic before introducing an interspinous spacer (IS). Moreover, we consider possibility treat patients who previously underwent IS implants...
Axial microinstability secondary to disc degeneration and consequent chronic facet joint syndrome (CFJS) is a well-known pathological entity, usually responsible for low back pain (LBP). Although posterior lumbar fixation (PIF) has been widely used spine instability LBP, complications related wrong screw introduction, perineural scars extensive muscle dissection leading dysfunction have described. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of joints zygapophyseal nerves conventionally treatment fails in...
The prevalence of sacroiliac Joint (SIJ) disease as a cause LBP is considered to range from 21% 25%. Nevertheless, SIJ instability frequently underestimated. Although conventional surgery has been used for several years in an attempt stabilize the SIJ, new percutaneous system proposed articular fusion. Recently “one-step” fixation procedure proposed. We describe case patient with painful treated fully CT-guided technique simple analogue sedation.
