چکیده

Received March 5, 1984; accepted May 18, 1984. On physical examination, there was tenderness in the L 1 area. Neurologic examination was normal. Initial radiographs (fig. 1A) of the lumbosacral spine revealed a compression fracture of the L 1 vertebra; subsequent myelography demonstrated an extradural block at the same level. At surgery, a standard posterior exposure of the dorsal arches of T10-L3 was performed. Distraction hooks were placed carefully under the laminae of T10 and L3 after hemilaminectomies at these levels. Harrington rods were passed through the hooks, and the injury site was distracted until the normal vertebral height and adjacent interspace integrity was reestablished . All the exposed facet joints were then drilled out and autogenous iliac graft fragments impacted into the defects. The laminar surfaces were decorticated and additional iliac

Coronal clefts in infants - rare differential diagnosis of traumatic injuries of vertebral bodies in battered children.

Accidental and nonaccidental spinal injuries are generally rarely seen in infants. If affected, vertebral bodies usually present compression fractures due to forced hyperflexion or hypertension. Radiographic examination of the infantile skeleton can reveal a radiolucent band running through a vertebral body. These so called vertebral clefts are mainly visualized in the lateral spinal radiograph...

Kyphosis correction after vertebroplasty in osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.

Percutaneous vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive method of treating vertebral compression fractures aimed mainly at reduction of pain. It has been observed that fractured vertebral bodies filled in with cement might also influence the increase of their height and thus lead to reduction of post-traumatic spine kyphosis. The aim of the research was to assess the possibility of reducing the kyp...

Multiple lumbar vertebral fractures following a single idiopathic seizure in an otherwise healthy patient a case report

 It has been reported that fractures are more common in epileptic patients relative to the general population. Seizures by repeated muscular contractions can increase fracture risk throughout the skeleton, but the reported papers about non traumatic vertebral fractures following a single episode of seizure are rare and mostly located in thoracic spine with only one or two vertebral fr...

Kyphoplasty for the treatment of an atypical osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture of the lumbar spine: A case report

Vertebral augmentation is a minimally invasive but sometimes technically challenging intervention typically reserved for the treatment of older patients with painful vertebral compression fractures due to osteoporosis or neoplasms. We report the successful treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures of the first lumbar vertebral body (L1) using kyphoplasty in a paraplegic young pa...

Traumatic lumbar vertebral ring apophysis fracture with disk herniation in an adolescent

We present a case of a 15-year-old male with history of back pain and bilateral lower limb radiculopathy due to fall. The magnetic resonance imaging scan showed disc bulge at L2-L3 level causing compression on contained nerve roots. In this case, computed tomography scan was indispensable for diagnosis and classification of the vertebral apophyseal fracture and to guide appropriate further mana...
