Ventilatory dysfunction resulting from bilateral anterolateral high cervical cordotomy. Dual beneficial effect of aminophylline.
Because of metastatic pain resistant to medical treatment after left pneumonectomy for squamous cell carcinoma, a 46-year-old patient underwent a bilateral cervical cordotomy at the C1-C2 anterolateral level, in two phases. The second intervention was followed by severe ventilatory problems requiring mechanical ventilation, and at a later stage, the implantation of a phrenic pacemaker on the ri...
متن کاملCordotomy for Thalamic Pain
Mr. E., a paper-hanger, married and father of one child, suffered a gonorrheal infection in 1919. In 1929, when he was 46 years of age, he was troubled one evening with a pain of moderate severity in his right hand and forearm. The following morning there was a continuous dull ache in this hand and forearm and at least every half hour a spasm of severe pain which would last for several minutes....
متن کاملLong-term changes in purposive and reflexive responses to nociceptive stimulation following anterolateral chordotomy.
Macaca nemestrina monkeys received unilateral interruption of the spinothalamic tract, producing contralateral hypalgesia and a bilateral decrease in amplitude of the flexion reflex. These effects on operant escape and reflex responses to electrocutaneous stimulation (ES) were monitored for months to evaluate relationships between the extent of each lesion and the presence or absence of recover...
متن کاملPrimate spinothalamic pathways: I. A quantitative study of the cells of origin of the spinothalamic pathway.
In six monkeys spinothalamic (STT) cells were retrogradely labeled by injecting 2% wheat germ agglutinin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase into the somatosensory thalamus. Following a 5-day survival period, the animals were perfused and the tissue was removed and processed with the tetramethyl benzidine technique. In all animals there were HRP-labeled STT cells in all segments of the spinal cor...
متن کاملVoice Outcomes Following Posterior Cordotomy With Medial Arytenoidectomy in Patients With Bilateral Vocal Fold Immobility.
IMPORTANCE Voice quality-of-life (VQOL) and perceptual voice outcomes are presumed to worsen following posterior cordotomy with medial arytenoidectomy for bilateral vocal fold immobility (BVFI); however, subjective and objective voice outcomes are not well studied in this postsurgical patient population. OBJECTIVE To evaluate VQOL and perceptual voice outcomes following posterior cordotomy wi...
