Abstract

Abstract. Spinal fracture and dislocation are among the most feared injuries by patients and physicians alike, as the consequences can be devastating, ranging from mild pain and discomfort to severe paralysis and even death. Spinal trauma is commonly found in patients admitted to level-one trauma centers after serious accidents like traffic, falling, and sports accidents.Injuries of the cervical spine account for one third of spinal fractures and half to two thirds of all spinal cord injuries.In the thoracolumbar spine, the most common unstable fracture is the burst fracture. Altogether, burst fractures have been reported to account for about 15% of spinal injuries.Incidence of burst fractures peaked at the thoracolumbar junction and between levels T5 and T8. In 10% of cases,more than one burst fracture was seen, thereof 53% on noncontiguous levels. Main accident mechanisms were falls, traffic, and sports. Neurological deficit was highest in patients with burst fractures of the cervical spine, independent of accident mechanism, and lowest in thoracolumbar junction fractures. Burst fractures occur frequently in high energy traumas and are most commonly associated with falling and traffic accidents.Multiple burst fractures occur in 10% of cases, half thereof on noncontiguous levels.Access to the anterior thoracic spine via the transthoracic approach (via thoracotomy) can be used for decompression and fusion. To perform adequate decompression and stabilization of the thoracic spine, obtaining good exposure is a must. Preservation and protection of the vascular structures in the thoracic cavity is the key to such an exposure. Preoperative workup should include imaging modalities (plain rontgens, MRI/CT scan) to specifically define the area of decompression. If a tumor is being evaluated, CT angiography and embolization are helpful in preoperative planning. Assistance by a thoracic surgeon for exposure is highly recommended.

Abstract

Abstract :Tuberculosis is one of the most common infectious diseases in the world. The thoracolumbar spine is the commonest form of vertebral tuberculosis, whereas isolated tuberculosis of the sacrum is rarely reported in the literature. A male patient of 22-year old had complained low back pain since 2 years before admission to hospital without history of trauma on back. He also got low-grade fever and weight loss. There was no tuberculosis contagion found, no cough or night sweat. Clinical examination revealed neurological deficit with strength of both lower extremities were 4 and hipestesia in the level of lumbal 5 and downward. Radiographs of lumbosacral showed deformity of lumbal 5. CT scans of spine showed deformity of sacrum. MRI revealed spondylolisthesis L5-S1, S1-S2, S2-S3 and mass in the anterior posterior and lateral of paralumbal 5 and parasacral. There is no involvement of gluteus muscle and the around muscle. The patient underwent surgical of sequestrectomy with drainage abscess and lumbo-sacral-illiac fusion. The culture of sacral tissue showed Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The patient was treated with combination of four antituberculosis agents.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction: Intradural extramedullary (IDEM) tumors are benign neoplasms arising in the spinal canal about two-thirds of primary spinal tumors and 15% of tumors affecting the Central Nervous System. Spinal en-plaque meningioma is a type that grows in a sheet-like or collar-like, and incidence in the literature only ranging from 0.1% to 3.1%. Pain is the most clinical symptom, weakness and sensory changes also occur frequently. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the standard modality for the radiologic diagnosis of meningioma. Case Report: A patient, 35 years old man with a diagnosis of intradural extramedullary spinal meningioma (IDEM) en-plaque with calcification, confirmed by the symptoms, workups such as spinal MRI, and intra-operative findings. The patient was successfully treated surgically with laminectomy and total tumor resection with a posterior approach. Discussion: Spinal en-plaque meningioma is a type that grows in a sheet-like or collar-like manner around the spinal cord can involve dura extensively with significant neurological deficits. Patient was with lower limb weakness, and had a history of back pain radiating to the right limb for the last 1 year. Spinal meningiomas are primarily found in the Intradural Extramedullary, and the tumor diagnosis is typically fairly straight forward based on radiologic findings. Meningiomas are most commonly found in the thoracic region of the spine. In this case from MRI Imaging was revealed a mass in thoracic region of the spine pressing the spinal cord anteriorly. The management of spinal en-plaque meningioma is tumor resection surgery. A retrospective study suggested a significant improvement in neurological deficit post-tumor resection on patients with spinal IDEM tumor. Conclusion: Spinal meningioma is a reasonably frequently found case of a spinal tumor but spinal en-plaque meningiomas are rarely found. MRI scan is the radiological gold standar diagnose spinal en-plaque meningiomas. Patient was successfully treated by total tumor resection using the laminectomy method and tumor resection with a posterior approach without any postoperative complications observed.

Abstract

Damage to the spinal cord is the pathological condition known as spinal cord injury (SCI) or spinal cord injury. This ailment, which not only causes neurological impairments but also places a significant psychological and social burden on patients, has grown to be one of the most challenging worldwide health issues. A successful stem cell-based treatment has just been created and could be the answer to this medical issue. It has been demonstrated that iPSC-dNSC stem cells are efficient at both reducing post-traumatic inflammatory conditions and kicking off neuronal cell regeneration at the location of SCI lesions. The aim of this study to investigate the the effectiveness of using iPSC in spinal cord injury. This study used the literature review method by discovering articles using the search engine Google Scholar, and PubMed. According to the search results, 413 articles were obtained in accordance with the title of the study, but 8 articles met the inclusion criteria in this study. The findings of this study showed that the iPSC methodology was applied, as well as the advantages and results of the procedure. Using iPSCs to treat SCI is still challenging and needs additional investigation.

Abstract

Introduction: Transsphenoidal approaches to the sellar region, with endoscopic or microscopic techniques, are regularly used to treat a diverse collection of pathologies. Case Description: Three patients with presenting symptoms visual disturbance and headache were evaluated with MRI that showes sellar region masses. All patients were undergo transphenoid tumor removal. Post operation evaluation show improvement in visual disturbance and headache with no adverse event after procedure. Discussion : Transsphenoidal endoscopic surgery (TSS) for functional pituitary adenomas yields better endocrinologic results for noninvasive macroadenomas. However, the rate of postoperative CSF leakage was greater with the endoscopic method. In patients with pituitary adenomas, younger age, dense visual field defect, and the preoperative absence of central or bilateral visual field abnormalities were predictive factors of visual field recovery following transsphenoidal approach-tumor excision. Overall survival rates are generally high, ranging from 91% to 98%. Conclusion: Transphenoid approach was a good surgical method for sellar region masses and show good outcomes after operation.
