✓ Acute subdural spinal hematoma occurs rarely; however, when it does occur, may have disastrous consequences. The authors assessed the outcome of surgery for this lesion in relation to causative factors and diagnostic imaging (computerized tomography [CT], CT myelography), as well eventual preservation subarachnoid space. reviewed 106 cases nontraumatic acute (101 published five their own) terms cause, diagnosis, treatment, long-term outcome. Fifty-one patients (49%) were men 55 (51%)...
OBJECT Spinal metastasis is common in patients with cancer. About 70% of symptomatic lesions are found the thoracic region spine, and cord compression presents as initial symptom 5%-10% patients. Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) has recently been advocated a useful approach for spinal metastases, aim decreasing morbidity associated more traditional open surgery; furthermore, recovery time reduced after MISS, such that postoperative chemotherapy radiotherapy can begin sooner. METHODS...
To compare the success in repair of dural tears (DTs) using two different surgical sealants non-instrumented lumbar spinal surgery and evaluate incidence associated short- long-term complications.Twenty-three patients undergoing with intraoperative DTs were included both retrospectively prospectively this study. External signs CSF leakage, neurological deficits, infection-related complications investigated postoperatively. The persistence low-back pain was also evaluated postoperative MRI...
To validate the AO Spine Subaxial Injury Classification System with participants of various experience levels, subspecialties, and geographic regions.A live webinar was organized in 2020 for validation System. The consisted 41 unique subaxial cervical spine injuries associated computed tomography scans key images. Intraobserver reproducibility interobserver reliability were calculated injury morphology, subtype, facet injury. classification system categorized as slight (ƙ = 0-0.20), fair...
OBJECTIVE Over the last few decades, many surgical techniques for lumbar interbody fusion have been reported. The anterior-to-psoas (ATP) approach is theoretically supposed to benefit from advantages of both anterior and lateral approaches with similar complication rates, even in L5–S1. At this segment, (ALIF) requires retroperitoneal dissection retraction major vessels, whereas iliac crest does not allow transpsoas approach. This study aimed investigate clinical-radiological outcomes...
✓A spinal epidural hematoma is an extremely rare complication of cervical spine manipulation therapy (CSMT). The authors present the case adult woman, otherwise in good health, who developed Brown–Séquard syndrome after CSMT. Decompressive surgery performed within 8 hours onset symptoms allowed for complete recovery patient's preoperative neurological deficit. unique feature this was magnetic resonance image showing increased signal intensity paraspinal musculature consistent with a...
Background: Radiological evidence of adjacent segment disease (ASD) has been reported to have a prevalence more than 30% and several risk factors reported. The aim this study is evaluate the clinical radiological outcomes patients with symptomatic ASD treated stand-alone OLIF compare results posterior revision surgery cohort. Methods: This retrospective case-control study. Clinical-patient-reported were obtained at preoperative, postoperative final follow-up visits using Short Form (SF-36)...
In Brief Study Design. A unique case of pseudo-aneurysm a lumbar artery after injury the thoracolumbar spine was presented. Objective. To describe exceptional occurrence flexion-distraction fracture junction and to discuss mechanism formation therapeutic solution. Summary Background Data. Injury represents potential cause massive, life-threatening, retroperitoneal bleeding. It may be associated with lesions abdomen, lower limbs, pelvic bones, spinal column. Fracture transverse process...
To analyze different terms used in literature to identify lumbar extradural cysts and propose a common scientific terminology; elaborate new morphological classification of this pathology, useful for clinical surgical purposes; describe the best approach remove these cysts, order avoid iatrogenic instability or treat pre-existing one.We retrospectively reviewed 34 patients with symptomatic ganglion treated spinal canal decompression without fixation. Microsurgical was main procedure...
Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a common degenerative condition that occurs in the spine with increasing age. Clinically, LSS causes progressive reduction walking autonomy, resulting poor quality of life and impaired functional capacity. The aim this study was to evaluate clinical outcome elderly patients presenting associated comorbidities after 5-year follow-up who were treated an interspinous process device (IPD). Sixty > 75 years age symptomatic included. All IPD under local anesthesia....
To determine the variation in global treatment practices for subaxial unilateral cervical spine facet fractures based on surgeon experience, practice setting, and surgical subspecialty.A survey was sent to 272 members of AO Spine Subaxial Injury Classification System Validation Group worldwide. Questions surveyed preferences with regard diagnostic work-up fracture types F1-F3, according Cervical System, various associated neurologic injuries.A total 161 responses were received. Academic...
