To determine the presence of infectious microorganisms in the herniated discs of immunocompetent patients, using methodology that we hoped would be of higher sensitivity and specificity than has been reported in the past. Recent studies have demonstrated a significant rate of positive cultures for low virulent organisms in excised HNP samples (range 19–53%). These studies have served as the theore...... hiện toàn bộ
The indication for gamma probe-guided surgery of spinal osteoid osteomasEuropean Spine Journal - Tập 16 - Trang 1668-1672 - 2007
A. Hempfing, J. Hoffend, R. G. Bitsch, L. Bernd
The standard treatment for osteoid osteomas is CT-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA). This minimally invasive procedure is effective in terms of pain reduction as well as the recurrence rate. Nevertheless, the use for spinal lesions is limited due to a possible thermal damage of neural structures. Although the literature is contradictory, RFA should only be used when a cortical shell between the...... hiện toàn bộ
Sudden onset of paraplegia caused by hemorrhagic spinal epidural angiolipoma. A case reportEuropean Spine Journal - Tập 17 - Trang 296-298 - 2008
Ali Akhaddar, Abderrahmane Albouzidi, Brahim Elmostarchid, Miloudi Gazzaz, Mohamed Boucetta
Spinal epidural angiolipoma is a rare benign tumor containing vascular and mature adipose elements. A slow progressive clinical course was mostly presented and rarely a fluctuating course during pregnancy. The authors report the original case of spontaneous spinal epidural bleeding resulting from thoracic epidural angiolipoma who presented with hyperacute onset of paraplegia, simulating an extradu...... hiện toàn bộ
Myelopathy due to calcification of the cervical ligamenta flava: a report of two cases in West Indian patientsEuropean Spine Journal - Tập 8 - Trang 238-240 - 1999
H. Pascal-Moussellard, P. Cabre, D. Smadja, S. Kaidomar, Y. Catonne
Two cases of cervical myelopathy due to calcification of the ligamenta flava (CLF) are described for the first time in black patients from the French West Indies. A pre-operative CT scan differentiated the diagnosis from one of ossification of the ligamenta flava. Microanalysis on the operatively excised specimen in one patient revealed a mixture of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals and hy...... hiện toàn bộ
Anteriorly displaced transverse fractures of the sacrum in adolescents: report of two casesEuropean Spine Journal - Tập 6 - Trang 342-346 - 1997
G. Sapkas, A. Makris, D. Korres, J. Kyratzoulis, E. Meleteas, A. Antoniadis
A fracture of the sacrum at the level of the first and second segments, with forward displacement of the first segment, is a very rare injury in adolescents. The cases of two patients, who both suffered a displaced transverse fracture of the sacrum with resulting neural disturbance, are reported here. We consider that these unstable fractures may be treated surgically, by extensive laminectomies o...... hiện toàn bộ
