Posterior Spinal Reconstruction with Pedicle Screws, Multiple Iliac Screws and Wisconsin Spinal Wires in a Patient with Neurofibromatosis Scoliosis: A Case Report

چکیده
A 54-year-old female with neurofibromatosis type 1 presented with progressing truncal shift owing to spinal deformity. On plain radiograph, the Cobb angle was 54 degree in coronal plane. Radiological examinations showed severe dystrophic change with dysplastic pedicles, bony scalloping, neural foraminal widening from dural ectasia. The patient underwent deformity correction and reconstruction surgery from the T9 to the pelvis using multiple iliac screws and Wisconsin interspinous segmental instrumentation by wiring due to maximize fixation points. The postoperative course was uneventful. One-year follow-up radiographs showed a successful curve correction with solid fusion. We report a case of pedicle dysplasia and dystrophic change treated by posterior segmental spinal instrumentation and fusion with help of multiple iliac screws and modified Wisconsin interspinous segmental wiring.

Segmental pedicle screw fixation for a scoliosis patient with post-laminectomy and post-irradiation thoracic kyphoscoliosis of spinal astrocytoma.
Spinal deformity is an important clinical manifestation after surgery for spinal cord tumors. One-third of patients who receive laminectomies and irradiation of the spinal column develop scoliosis, kyphosis, or kyphoscoliosis. Recent reports indicate good results after scoliosis surgery using segmental pedicle screws and a navigation system, but these reported studies have not included surgery ...

Orthopaedic involvement is the most common clinical presentation of Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) patients with the spinal abnormalities more frequently affected. In the spinal deformities of NF-1 patients, despite the scoliosis is the most frequent finding, several distinctive radiographic features, such as dural ectasia, defective pedicles, and spondylolisthesis, are relatively less common....

Abstracts: Dural ectasia is circumferential expansion or dilatation of the dural sac, and has been frequently reported in association with type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF1). It should be differentiated from posterior mediastinal tumors such as neurofibroma, neuroblastoma, and ganglioneuroma because NF-1 has a high risk of tumor formation. In the spinal deformities of NF-1 patients, despite the sco...
متن کاملPosterior and Anterior Spinal Fusion for the Management of Deformities in Patients with Parkinson's Disease
Introduction. Spinal scoliosis and kyphosis in elderly people sometimes cause severe low back pain. Surgical methods such as osteotomy are useful for correcting the deformity. However, complications during and after surgery are associated with the osteotomy procedure. In particular, it is difficult to manage deformity correction surgery for patients with Parkinson's disease. Here, we present tw...
متن کاملPedicle screw fixation in the spine.
In August 1993, in the USA, an FDA advisory committee of experts reviewed the scientific data on pedicle screws and decided that not enough was known about the shortterm problems or the long-term safety and effectiveness of these devices to allow their use to be approved. Manufacturers were therefore forbidden to promote the use of screws in the spine, and patients were warned that pedicle scre...
