This aims to outline the therapeutic criteria clarify best surgical options for different types of basilar invagination (BI). Summary Background. BI is a complex developmental malformation which many remedies have been proposed without clear consensus. Material Methods. Using PubMed, authors reviewed on treatment published from 2011 2022 looking at options. panel spine surgeons members WFNS Spine...
Pain generator-based lumbar spinal decompression surgery is the backbone of modern spine care. In contrast to traditional image-based medical necessity criteria for surgery, assessing severity neural element encroachment, instability, and deformity, staged management common painful degenerative conditions likely be more durable cost-effective. Targeting validated pain generators can accomplished with simplified procedures associated lower perioperative complications long-term revision rates....
Abstract Purpose: This study aims to analyze the epidemiological profile of operated patients victims thoracolumbar fractures. Methods: was a retrospective cross-sectional descriptive study. The sample composed total 223 cases fractures between 2015 and 2019. Data (sex, age, site origin, etiology injury, Frankel scale neurological deficit, affected vertebral segment) were extracted from records who trauma thoracic lumbar spine surgically treated in institution. Results: analyzed, which 164...
ABSTRACT Type II odontoid fractures with irreducible posterior displacement are uncommon, and can cause spinal cord compression, respiratory failure even death. Treatment is usually surgical, transoral decompression fusion or reduction of C1-C2 by the approach. We describe a case type fracture atlantoaxial dislocation that was treated exclusively approach osteosynthesis odontoid, thus preserving functional segmental mobility. Level Evidence III; therapeutic study.
Epidermoid cysts have a benign etiology and can be either congenital, usually associated with malformations, or acquired, related to external events, even iatrogenic. As for their location, they are classified as extradural, intradural, extramedullary, intramedullary. Intradural intramedullary epidermoid quite uncommon, few cases reported in literature so far. Because of its slow growth, there may delay diagnosis. Its symptoms depend on lesion’s topography, total cyst removal is recommended...
