Traumatic Cervical Nerve Root Avulsion with Pseudomeningocele Formation
Cervical nerve root avulsion is a well-documented result of motor vehicle collision (MVC), especially when occurring at high velocities. These avulsions are commonly traction injuries of nerve roots that may be accompanied by a tear in the meninges through the vertebral foramina with associated collections of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), thereby resulting in a pseudomeningocele. We present a case...
متن کاملSpinal nerve root herniation into a pseudomeningocele associated with lumbar spondylolysis: a case report.
A 38-year-old man presented with low back pain and sciatica on the left side. Magnetic resonance imaging showed spinal nerve root herniation into a pseudomeningocele associated with lumbar spondylolysis. After closure of the dural defect, the sciatic pain was relieved and subsequently the patient was able to return to work.
متن کاملSpinal Cord Herniation: Why Anterior Thoracic? Abstract Background: Spinal cord herniation and thoracic anterior adhesion syndrome
Background: Spinal cord herniation and thoracic anterior adhesion syndrome make up the two extremes of a rare condition; characterized by anterior dural adhesion or protrusion of the spinal cord through the arachnoideal and dural membrane into the extradural space, respectively. Summary: We present the main features of the condition by our case series and forward a hypothesis for the consistent...
متن کاملSymptomatic thoracic spinal cord compression caused by postsurgical pseudomeningocele.
We report the first case of symptomatic thoracic spinal cord compression caused by postsurgical pseudomeningocele. A 49-year-old man sought treatment for progressive loss of strength in the lower extremities ten months after full neurological recovery for a thoracic (T11) intradural-extramedullary schwannoma. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a postsurgical thoracic (T11-T12) pseudomeningocel...
