Background/Objectives: Lumbopelvic fixation (LPF) is essential for stabilizing the lumbosacral junction (LSJ) in cases of trauma, tumors, and other pathologies. While minimally invasive percutaneous techniques are preferred when feasible, open LPF remains necessary direct sacral access required. This study describes a modified technique designed to minimize invasiveness while maintaining effective stabilization. Methods: We present case metastasis requiring LPF. The surgical involves linear...
Background: Spinal metastases affect approximately 40% of patients with systemic cancers; metastatic epidural spinal cord compression (MESCC) occurs in up to 20% cases and leads potential significant morbidity. Recent advancements high-dose conformal radiation techniques, such as Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) Radiosurgery (SRS), enable histology-independent ablative treatments, yet optimal dose fractionation remains undetermined. Methods Results: This case vertebral high-grade...
Thoracic disc herniations (TDHs) are rare, and surgery is typically reserved for patients with radiculopathy, myelopathy, or intractable back pain. Despite established algorithms, the optimal surgical strategy remains debated. What clinical, surgical, radiological outcomes of anterior posterior approaches TDHs over a 10-year period? A retrospective analysis 54 who underwent (2013-2022) was performed. Patients were grouped by approach: (34 patients) (20 patients). Data included preoperative...
Background: This study aims to evaluate how surgical timing and the radiological characteristics of fragment blocks can affect effectiveness ligamentotaxis, in restoring spinal canal area, local kyphosis adults with traumatic thoracolumbar A3 burst fractures without neurological impairment treated percutaneous short-segment fixation. Methods: A retrospective observational was conducted between January 2016 December 2022 on neurologically intact adult patients a single fracture. Data...
Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a progressively growing pathology to afford by spinal surgeon due the aging of population, associated with better treatment management and best diagnosis solutions are greatly discussed. Nowadays that scientific literature increasing identify gold standard in can be very challenging. This particularly evident surgery many different indications not only countries but also same local reality. In this scenario, neurosurgical societies works some...
Superficial siderosis of the central nervous system (SSCNS) is an uncommon and often unrecognized disorder that results from recurrent persistent bleeding into subarachnoid space. Currently, there no effective treatment for SSCNS. The identification surgical resolution cause remains most reliable method treatment, but not apparent. identified sources have typically included neoplasms, vascular malformations, brachial plexus or nerve root injury avulsion, previous head spinal surgery. An...
With the increasingly widespread illicit use of cocaine, a broad spectrum clinical pathologies related to this form drug abuse is emerging. The most frequently used method administration powdered cocaine intranasal inhalation, or “snorting.” Consequently, adverse effects on nasal tract are common. Habitual insufflations can cause mucosal lesions. If becomes chronic and compulsive, progressive damage mucosa perichondrium leads ischemic necrosis septal cartilage perforation septum....
In Brief Study Design. Case report of a patient with transient paraplegia and spine instability because sarcoidosis 2 vertebral bodies. Objectives. To rare case accompanied by neurologic symptoms instability, to discuss the diagnostic therapeutic management. Summary Background Data. Vertebral is condition, only few reports exist in literature. most cases, treatment steroids improves associated symptoms. Operative intervention necessary cases spinal progressive destruction impending or...
Aneurysmal bone cyst is a pseudotumoral lesion. Complete resection prior to selective arterial embolization seems be the treatment of choice for more extensive and destructive lesions. In these cases maintaining stability cervical spine critical. This can very challenging in children adolescents whom axial skeleton still growing. this case young girl presented with voluminous aneurysmal encaging both vertebral arteries spinal cord. The lesion was treated aggressive surgical resection,...
Anterior spinal surgery has a predominant role in the treatment of traumatic lesions subaxial cervical spine. Plating is considered indispensable to achieve stability but may cause dysphagia, dysphonia, and adjacent-level ossification. Zero-P (Synthes GmbH, Oberdorf, Switzerland), an anchored interdisc spacer, can be used without associated plate. The present study aimed test if this new implant would with low rate dysphagia other short-term complications compared standard for anterior...
A 56-year-old female with a giant partially thrombosed unruptured carotid-ophthalmic aneurysm was treated Pipeline flow diverter. Three months after the procedure, in concomitance discontinuation of one antiplatelet medications, patient suffered from minor stroke and relapsing transient ischemic attacks. The angiography demonstrated occlusion internal carotid artery, perfusion-weighted CT scan showed condition hypoperfusion. underwent double-barrel extraintracranial bypass. postoperative...
