Posttraumatic syringomyelia: a technical note.
AIM Previous studies have not identified a preferred surgical technique to treat posttraumatic syringomyelia. Both syringopleural shunting and arachnoidolysis are used in neurosurgery practice for the surgical treatment of posttraumatic syringomyelia. In this study, we present a new technique designed to achieve a better outcome following surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS A 33-year-old man, who e...
متن کاملPosttraumatic syringomyelia
Post-traumatic syringomyelia is a clinical syndrome of delayed progressive myelopathy often corresponding to spinal segments distant from the level of original injury. Harvey Cushing described a syringomyelic syndrome in a patient with cervical gunshot wound. He viewed hematomyelia as the pathologic substrate of both – acute and delayed post-traumatic syringomyelia. The exact incidence is unkno...
متن کاملRadiography of posttraumatic syringomyelia.
Posttraumatic syringomyelia was studied in 15 patients. Gas myelography in 12 patients showed a definite spinal cord swelling in 10 and a probable cord enlargement in two. Plain spinal computed tomography (CT) in four patients demonstrated intramedullary radiolucent zones in three. After intrathecal injection of metrizamide in 10 patients, cysts were opacified in eight. Postoperative CT in two ...
متن کاملOsteotomy techniques to correct posttraumatic deviation of the nasal pyramid: a technical note.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Correction of the deviated nasal pyramid is frequently incomplete and may result in a sub-optimal surgical outcome. Precise anatomic analysis of the deformity and a thorough understanding of available techniques improve the surgical osteotomy. METHODS AND MATERIALS The advantages and disadvantages of the various osteotomy techniques are analyzed, based on the cadaver...
متن کاملCharacteristics of CSF Velocity-Time Profile in Posttraumatic Syringomyelia.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The development of syringomyelia has been associated with changes in CSF flow dynamics in the spinal subarachnoid space. However, differences in CSF flow velocity between patients with posttraumatic syringomyelia and healthy participants remains unclear. The aim of this work was to define differences in CSF flow above and below a syrinx in participants with posttraumatic ...
