The patient was a 46-year-old man who presented with fatigue for 6 months. His activities of daily living (ADL) gradually worsened and he transported to our hospital’s emergency room because difficulty in walking due muscle weakness the extremities. weight had decreased by 20 kg months, almost bedridden. Upon arrival, emaciation, hypotension, predominantly proximal portions. However, showed no ...

At 2 months of age, a radiograph of the spine was repeated, and a hemivertebra was demonstrated at the L5 level, as bowel shadows were less prominent (Fig 1). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine was performed to investigate spinal dysraphism at the age of 5 months (Fig 2). The conus was at L2/3 level, and there were no other associated findings of cord tethering (thickened filum, fila...

STUDY DESIGN Prospective case series. PURPOSE To study the safety and feasibility of cotransplantation of bone marrow stem cells and autologous olfactory mucosa in chronic spinal cord injury. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Stem cell therapies are a novel method in the attempt to restitute heavily damaged tissues. We discuss our experience with this modality in postspinal cord injury paraplegics. ...

Fifteen patients with acquired spinal subarachnoid cysts (14 surgically proved, one presumed) were evaluated preoperatively with immediate and/or delayed CT myelography (seven patients), MR (11 patients), or both (three patients). CT myelography separated subarachnoid cyst from myelomalacia and/or intramedullary cysts in four cases but failed to diagnose them in three, while MR accurately diagn...

Fiber tractography is a technique capable of depicting the three-dimensional structure and connectivity of nerve fibers using serial magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). To establish fiber tractography and DTI methods in veterinary clinical medicine, we evaluated fiber tractography and DTI parameters: apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and fractional anisotropy (FA) value...

PURPOSE To 1) correlate spinal MR features and modes of clinical presentation associated with symptomatic neurologic deterioration following longstanding spinal trauma; 2) correlate degree of neurologic deficit with spinal MR appearance in these patients; and 3) determine the relationship between new symptoms and ongoing cord compression. METHODS Retrospective examination of MR images, and co...

S y r i n g o m y e l i a i . e . I m p a i r e d neuromuscular transmission is a rare cause (0.01%) of type 2 respiratory failure. Here i am discussing a case who presented with hypercapnic respiratory failure and on evolution found to be afflicted with extensive syrinx involving cervical spinal cord. A prediabetic 45 yrs old lady presented in our casualty with complaints of cough with expecto...

ABSTRACT: Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is considered the gold standard for optimizing treatment of humans in intensive care units. However, this procedure not commonly performed veterinary medicine because limitations and complications method. There are some new promising non-invasive techniques ICP, but they have been validated medicine. This study aimed to correlate intracranial (NI...

conclusions this case report supports the beneficial role of erythropoietin in function, maintenance, and recovery of neurons. erythropoietin is a double-edge sword, as long-term erythropoietin therapy has some complications, like thromboembolism and stroke. recent studies suggested that erythropoietin should be given as single high dose to exert a rapid neuro-protective effect with minimal hem...
