Spinal cord compression by multistrand cables after solid posterior atlantoaxial fusion. Report of three cases.
The sublaminar wiring procedure has been commonly used for stabilizing the atlantoaxial complex. Multistrand braided cables were introduced in the early 1990s. In previous biomechanical studies these cables were demonstrated to be superior to monofilament wires in terms of their flexibility, mechanical strength, and fatigue-related characteristics. To the authors' knowledge, they are the first ...
متن کاملSpinal Solid Cord Compression Malignant Tumors Caused By Children
The medical records of 154 children with solid malignant primary tumors outside the central nervous system were retrospectively reviewed to achieve a better understanding of the incidence, presentation, outcome and treatment options for metastatic spinal cord disease. Of the 154 total, 12 children had symptomatic and 5 had asymptomatic spinal metastases (total 17 cases; 11%). In eight cases, th...
متن کاملMigration of titanium cable into spinal cord and spontaneous C2 and C3 fusion
INTRODUCTION Atlantoaxial instability is a common and serious injury of the upper cervical spine. Brooks' procedure is widely used to reconstruct the unstable atlantoaxial joint. The migration into spinal cord of titanium cable and spontaneous fusion between C2 and C3 has been little reported and the management of such a patient is difficult. We describe an unusual case of fatigue failure of po...
متن کاملSpinal cord compression.
Back pain and suspected spinal cord compression remains one of the most frequent reasons for neurologic consultation in cancer patients. While treatment generally results in stabilization or improvement, early diagnosis remains the cornerstone of improving neurologic outcome. This article reviews the clinical features, differential diagnosis, and management of neoplastic epidural spinal cord co...
متن کاملMetastatic Spinal Cord Compression
According to recent Canadian statistics, an estimated 186,400 new cases of cancer and 75,700 deaths from cancer are expected in Canada in 20121. In general, between 40% and 70% of patients with advanced solid tumours such as those of breast, prostate, and lung will develop bone metastases2. The spine is the most common site for bone metastasis, affecting up to 30% of cancer patients3. Overall, ...
