Traumatic Spinal Cord Injuries Due to Motor Vehicle Accidents
Background and Aim: Spine trauma is an important health problem. Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) due to Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) might have a different epidemiologic pattern in Guilan province of Iran owing to its geographical characteristics. Therefore, the present study was conducted to the study epidemiology of SCI injuries due to road accidents in a trauma referral center in Guilan. ...
متن کاملGiant chest wall arteriovenous malformation with spinal cord compression.
Congenital arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) may occur in any organ. Skin AVMs are common, but AVMs of the chest wall or extradural space are uncommon. We report a patient with an extensive AVM that involved skin, chest wall, and extradural space. Definitive treatment of such an AVM is difficult. A 23-year-old man presented with progressive lower extremity weakness. A large cutaneous 'haemangi...
متن کاملSurgical stabilization of traumatic flail chest.
Since 1970 we have stabilized the ribs to correct paradoxical movement of the chest wall in chest injuries, using an original technique, in order to avoid as far as possible the need for long-term chest wall stabilization by intermittent positive pressure respiration (IPPR). The technical details of surgical stabilization are described, and the different types of stainless steel struts are show...
متن کاملPOST-TRAUMATIC CHRONIC SPINAL CORD INJURY: ASSESSMENT WITH MRI
The initial experience concerning the use of magnetic resonance imaging in 94 patients who had sustained chronic cord injury showed its specific advantages over traditional imaging modalities. A variety of 84 cord abnormalities were identified including myelomalacia in 47%, cord cysts in 37%, focal atrophy in 11 % and cord transection in 5%. Canal stenosis was seen in twenty-five patients, ...
متن کاملAn original technique for surgical stabilisation of traumatic flail chest.
The treatment of chest wall injuries with severe paradoxical movement remains controversial. Intermittent positive-pressure respiration may be appropriate, but in some, especially those requiring exploratory thoracotomy for a visceral lesion, surgical fixation is desirable. We present a simple method using two or three stainless Kirschner wires placed in the chest wall. Results in five cases ha...
