Spinal cord edema: unusual magnetic resonance imaging findings in cervical spondylosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Spinal cord edema is a rare radiological finding in chronic degenerative disorders of the spine. Between 1997 and 2001, the authors treated six patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy in whom postoperative spinal cord edema was demonstrated. The authors describe the radiological and

[Anterior revision surgery for the treatment of cervical spondylosis after anterior decompression and titanium mesh fusion].

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To analyze the reasons why anterior decompression and titanium mesh fusion for cervical spondylosis always show poor therapeutic effects, and to investigate the clinical effects of anterior revision surgery in these patients. METHODS From January 2004 to December 2011, 16 patients

Spinal cord swelling with abnormal gadolinium-enhancement mimicking intramedullary tumors in cervical spondylosis patients: Three case reports and review of the literature.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Spinal cord swelling with abnormal gadolinium (Gd) enhancement is a rare preoperative radiological finding in patients with cervical spondylosis. In the presence of progressive myelopathy, timely surgical decompression can be curative. METHODS We report 3 patients with cervical spondylotic

[A case of the myelitis due to Toxocara canis infection complicated with cervical spondylosis].

Only registered users can translate articles

A 59-year-old male had suffered from numbness of the hands for 7 months. With a diagnosis of cervical spondylosis, he had been treated conservatively at a nearby clinic. After he fell off his bicycle, the numbness intensified and limb weakness developed. Cervical MRI revealed spinal cord compression

[Osteoid osteoma of the inferior articular process of L5 associated with a bilateral spondylosis: a case report].

Only registered users can translate articles

We report the case of an 8-year-old boy who presented an osteoid osteoma of L5 associated with bilateral spondylolysis involving the same vertebra. Diagnostic bone scintigraphy is highly contributive in children presenting back pain. For us, it is the first intention exploration in patients with

Venous hypertensive myelopathy associated with cervical spondylosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Venous hypertensive myelopathy (VHM) results from spinal vascular malformations of arteriovenous shunting that increases spinal venous pressure, leading to congestive edema and neurologic dysfunction. There has been no report of VHM associated with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). The aim of

Management of asymptomatic cervical spinal stenosis in the setting of symptomatic tandem lumbar stenosis: a review.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND This article reviews the literature regarding tandem asymptomatic cervical stenosis in the setting of symptomatic lumbar stenosis. The presenting features of cervical spondylotic myelopathy are insidious and consistent with upper motor neuron loss. Often, asymptomatic cervical stenosis is

Acute traumatic central cord syndrome: analysis of clinical and radiological correlations.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE In patients with traumatic spinal cord injury, several studies correlate neurological impairment and radiological findings. However, little information is available about this correspondence in the particular group of acute traumatic central cord syndrome. The object of the present work

FDG-PET SUV can distinguish between spinal sarcoidosis and myelopathy with canal stenosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Spinal cord sarcoidosis is a rare manifestation of sarcoidosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of spinal cord sarcoidosis sometimes resembles that of the non-inflammatory spinal cord lesion. (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is an effective method to detect both

Acute cervical spine injuries: prospective MR imaging assessment at a level 1 trauma center.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To determine the weighted average sensitivity of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the prospective detection of acute neck injury and to compare these findings with those of a comprehensive conventional radiographic assessment. METHODS Conventional radiography and MR imaging were

Spirocerca lupi-associated vertebral changes: a radiologic-pathologic study.

Only registered users can translate articles

Spirocerca lupi causes a caudal esophageal mass in dogs which may be accompanied by aortic changes and caudal thoracic spondylitis. Previous literature hypothesized that the spondylitis was caused by either aberrant larval migration or was secondary to the inflammation caused by the aortic

Feasibility and complications of single-plane and biplane versus multiplane transesophageal imaging: a review of 2947 consecutive studies.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To analyze and compare the incidence of procedural complications and failure of intubation with various sizes of probes used in transesophageal echocardiography. METHODS Retrospective chart review. METHODS A Canadian, tertiary care hospital. METHODS A total of 2947 consecutive

Diagnosis and management of traumatic cervical central spinal cord injury: A review.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND The classical clinical presentation, neuroradiographic features, and conservative vs. surgical management of traumatic cervical central spinal cord (CSS) injury remain controversial. METHODS CSS injuries, occurring in approximately 9.2% of all cord injuries, are usually attributed to

Etiology of Lumbosacral Radiculoplexopathy: Sacral Insufficiency Fracture on Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Only registered users can translate articles

Background: Sacral insufficiency fracture (SIF) can cause lumbosacral radiculoplexopathy (LSRP) and is probably under-recognized. Symptoms may include nonspecific lumbar spine or buttock pain that is exacerbated by physical activity and

[Arthritis of the atlanto-axial joint with inflammatory neck pain as a primary manifestation of seronegative rheumatoid arthritis].

Only registered users can translate articles

METHODS A 68-year-old woman with known degenerative joint disease suffered from increasing neck pain. Physical examination revealed painfully restricted movement of the cervical spine. METHODS Erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein were increased. Tests for rheumatoid factors,
