CT guided direct transoral approach to C2 for percutaneous vertebroplasty.
BACKGROUND Percutaneous vertebroplasty is a well-established procedure consisting of the percutaneous injection of a biomaterial, usually Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), into a vertebral body. In most cases, this procedure affords significant pain relief and strengthens the bone. Vertebroplasty is most typically performed successfully with patients with acute compression fractures. OBJECTIVE ...
متن کاملFluoroscopic-guided Biopsy for Pathological Fracture of C2: Transoral Approach
Biopsy of the cervical spine poses special problems because of the proximity to many vital organs with the potential for bleeding and damage to nerves and spinal structures. Although the transoral approach to the atlanto-axial region is generally an open surgical procedure, for patients for whom diagnosis is required before treatment, a needle biopsy can be done. This report is of a patient for...
متن کاملTransoral approach to CT-guided C2 interventions.
BACKGROUND Lesions involving C2 are unique as it is challenging to approach these lesions. The transoral approach to C2 lesions has been extensively used by surgeons and increasingly used by interventional radiologists for vertebroplasty as it is safer and less demanding than other approaches like anterolateral and posterolateral (transpedicular). However, using this approach for image-guided b...
متن کاملVertebroplasty using transoral approach in painful malignant involvement of the second cervical vertebra (C2): a single-institution series of 25 patients.
BACKGROUND Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive procedure demonstrated to be safe and effective in the treatment of painful osteoporotic and malignancy related fractures when performed in the thoracolumbar spine. Multiple randomized and nonrandomized reports have demonstrated its effectiveness. Conversely, transoral vertebroplasty (TOV) to treat the second cervical vertebra (C2) has been desc...
متن کاملCatheter-directed percutaneous transpedicular C2/C3 vertebroplasty in a patient with fibrous dysplasia using seldinger technique.
A 35-year-old man with polyostotic fibrous dysplasia and a massively enlarged skull presented with Lhermitte sensations due to an unstable, mulitseptated, lytic C2/3 vertebral body complex. Enlarged extracranial vasculature made open surgery a high-risk option and limited percutaneous access. A 5F catheter was directed by using a guidewire into the C2/C3 vertebral body complex via a transpedicu...
