Anterior Cervicothoracic Junction Approach
Surgical approaches to the cervicothoracic junction frequently involve complicated dissection because of the restricted accessibility during the procedure and the close proximity of the great vessels. Common indications for surgical intervention include infections, neoplasms, and fractures. Approaches described here are useful for pathologies of the difficult-to-access upper thoracic spine (T1–...
متن کاملThe Manubriotomy is a safe option for the anterior approach to the cervico-thoracic junction.
The cervicothoracic junction (CTJ) is defined as the area extending from vertebral segments C7 to T4. Because most pathological processes occur in the anterior segment of the vertebrae, the anterior approach is usually the best surgical option, allowing neural decompression, stabilization and restoration of anatomical spinal alignment. Nevertheless, it represents a big challenge for the spinal ...
متن کاملAnterior Trans Cervicothoracic Approach for Complete Resection of Cervicothoracic Mediastinal Neurogenic Tumors
Introduction:Neurogenic mediastinal tumors comprise a wide range of benign and malignant diseases. A group of these tumors, located at thoracic apex, sometimes spread to cervical spaces causing numerous surgical difficulties. In thoracotomy approaches, due to proximity of the tumors to major blood vessels, complete removal of these tumors from cervical spaces is impossible or may cause intraope...
متن کاملAnterior approach for dumbbell type cervical neurinoma.
A one-stage anterior approach was performed in four patients for total removal of dumbbell type neurinoma at the cervical level. In each case, the neurinoma compressed the spinal cord in the cervical canal, developed anteriorly through the intervertebral foramen, and compressed the vertebral artery. A conventional cervical anterior approach at the tumor site was performed, followed by confirmat...
متن کاملCervicothoracic junction instability after cervical fusion.
A 70-year-old woman with a history of motor vehicle versus train accident, previous thoracic and lumbar fusion, and recent cervical fusion was admitted for severe upper back pain, difficulty with balance, weakness of lower extremities, and progressive kyphosis. On examination, the patient was found to have diffused myelopathy and paraparesis throughout her lower extremities. She requires a walk...
