C1-C2 fusion: postoperative C2 nerve impingement—is it a problem?
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this comparison case study is to show a potential complication associated with atlantoaxial fusion, and the preoperative evaluation that could help to avoid it. BACKGROUND DATA The use of lateral mass screw fixation in atlantoaxial fusion has provided surgeons the ability to create rigid fixation, with a high success rate of fusion. While the use of screws for fixat...
متن کاملSurgical approach to C1-C2 nerve sheath tumors.
BACKGROUND C1 and C2 nerve sheath tumors (NST) are unique in presentation, relationship to neighbouring structures and surgical approaches when compared to their counterparts in other regions of the spine. AIM The strategies involved in the surgery for C1-C2 NST are discussed SETTING AND DESIGN Retrospective study. METHODS 21 patients with C1 (n=6) and C2 (n=15) NST were operated based on...
متن کاملC1 and C2 nerve sheath tumors: analysis of 32 cases.
BACKGROUND C1 and C2 nerve sheath tumors are to be considered as a separate clinical entity because of their unique clinical presentation, relation to the adjacent structures and surgical approaches when compared to their counterparts in other regions. AIM To present the clinical characteristics, radiological findings, operative approaches, and outcomes. SETTING AND DESIGN Of the 32 patient...
متن کاملImproving C1-C2 Complex Fusion Rates: An Alternate Approach
The surgical repair of atlantoaxial instabilities (AAI) presents complex and unique challenges, originating from abnormalities and/or trauma within the junction regions of the C1-C2 atlas-axis, to surgeons. When this region is destabilized, surgical fusion becomes of key importance in order to prevent spinal cord injury. Several techniques can be utilized to provide for the adequate fusion of t...
متن کاملPreoperative flexion-extension radiographs can't exclude c1/c2 reducibility in c1/c2 subluxation
Background: According to the findings of previous studies, treatment of C1/C2 subluxation especially in congenital anomaly depends on preoperative dynamic radiograph and site (anterior or posterior) of cord compression. Evolution of new technique for instrumentation intraoperative manipulation is more feasible. We present our experience of treating 5 cases “apparently” irreducible atlantoaxial ...
