Abstract

The lack of clarity about the opportunities for significant neurologic improvement, coupled with the risk of severe postoperative complications, decompression surgery for patients with giant tumors in the cervical spine accompanied by long-lasting advanced neurological deficits places a heavy moral burden on surgeons. Here we report a three-year follow-up after surgery for an immense spinal neurofibroma in which the patient was bedridden for the past fifteen years. Our findings suggest surgery remains beneficial for patients without major postoperative complications.

Abstract

Background: Cervical spine disease has the potential to reduce productivity in affected patients because of myelopathy and mood disorder (e.g. depression) which lead to decreasing of the patient’s quality of life.Objective: This study aims to elaborate on the most frequent symptoms and pathology of C-spine disease in patients who underwent a surgical procedure over the period time from January 2012 to December 2016.Method: This study is a retrospective. All patients who underwent surgery for the C-spine disease are included. The data was obtained from the records in our spine database.Result: The total number of surgical procedures for spine disease over the 5 years was 345 procedures, with 127 procedures in the C-spine which are the second most common procedures of spine surgery in Department of Neurosurgery FMUI. The C-spine diseases were more common in males, aged more than 50 years old. The most frequent disease or pathology is a degenerative disease, and yet, tumour cases show an increasing number and became the most common pathology in the year of 2016. The most common procedure is anterior cervicaldiscectomy and fusion (ACDF).Conclusion: Our study showed that the most common symptoms and pathology are myelopathies and degenerative disease respectively, which has similarity with another study in the term of the mostfrequent pathology and surgical procedure. The finding of the more advanced neurological condition by the time of surgery as the most common symptom is found to be contradictory with other studies in western countries.

Abstract

Background: Spinal surgery, in general, is increasing in number. The most frequent pathology is degenerative disease, and the most common segment is cervical and lumbar. However, there is limited information concerning the thoracic spine surgeries.Objective: The aim of this study is to describe the trend and profle of the thoracic spine (T-spine) surgeries in the Department of Neurosurgery Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia – RSUP Dr.Cipto Mangunkusumo from 2012 to 2016.Method: This is a retrospective study including all patients who were undergoing T-spine surgery during the period of study from January 2012 to December 2016. The number of T-spine procedureswas recorded and plotted in the trend graph. The data consisting age, gender, indication and procedure of T-spine surgery, and duration of hospital stay were recorded from medical records.Result: In the last fve years, there was an increasing trend of T-spine surgery. A total of 68 surgeries for T-spine performed with 35 female and 33 male subjects. Majority of subjects were aged 41 to 50 years old (28%), with an indication of surgery due to tumours (68%). As many as 76% T-spine surgery was carried out non-instrumented. Duration of hospital stay was 9-13 days.Conclusion: Productive age is the most common age undergoing T-spine surgeries. A spinal tumour is the most frequent indication of the T-spine surgeries

Abstract

Tethered cord syndrome (TCS) is a clinical condition of various origins, which comprises of progressive neurological, urological, and orthopaedic dysfunction, because of congenital fixation or tethering of the distal spinal cord by the terminal filum. It is believed that, if the filum elasticity is compromised by either fatty infiltration or abnormal thickening, the spine movement may cause stress upon the conus, resulting in TCS. Patients with symptomatic TCS can present with a wide variety of signs and symptoms in combination with cutaneous, orthopaedic, spinal, anorectal, and urological abnormalities. The common clinical presentations include the presence of cutaneous signs associated with open septal defects, neurogenic bladder with incontinence or urinary tract infection, leg or foot weakness, numbness and/or spasticity, differences in leg or foot length, deformities of the foot, spinal deformities, and back and leg pain. Neuroimaging is used to confirm when there is suspicion of TCS. Magnetic resonance imaging is the modality of choice in visualizing the level of the conus medullaris and for identifying a thickened and/or fatty filum. The fundamental goals of surgical intervention in TCS are to prevent future deficits in the asymptomatic patient and to improve or stabilize deficits in the symptomatic patient. These two goals are based on the fact that sectioning of the terminal filum can be done safely with minimal risk and a very low rate of morbidity. The reported complications of surgery are cerebrospinal fluid leakage (most common), wound infection, meningitis, bladder dysfunction, and neurological injury.

Abstract

Ganglioneuromas and ganglioneuroblastomas are tumors of the sympathetic nervous system that originate from neural crest sympathogonia, which are completely undifferentiated cells of the sympathetic nervous system. Along with neuroblastomas, ganglioneuromas and ganglioneuroblastomas are collectively known as neuroblastic or neurogenic tumors. Ganglioneuroblastoma is an intermediate tumor, a tumor that is between benign (slow-growing and unlikely to spread) and malignant (fast-growing, aggressive, and likely to spread). We report a rare case of skull ganglioneuroblastoma in a 4 months old child who came with a progressive increasing mass volume in the forehead. No other neurologic deficit was found. Serial Brain CT Scan was performed and showed progressive increasing of the mass volume. Comprehensive management was carry out for this patient.

Abstract

Early diagnosis of spinal tumors is a prerequisite for achieving satisfactory neurological recovery. However, rare diseases tend to have a long diagnostic course.1 In addition, the clinical presentation of spinal tumors in most children is not apparent, moreover, spinal tumors may not show clinical symptoms if they are located in the lumbar spine and sized no more than one vertebra.2,3 Clinical presentations caused by tumors in the lumbar spine may include weakness of both limbs, impaired urination, and constipation.
