Secondary chronic respiratory acidosis in a dog following the cervical cord compression by an intradural glioma.
An intradural tumor in the upper cervical region was found in a dog with quadriparesis and chronic respiratory acidosis. Surgical removal of the tumor in the atlas and intraoperative radiotherapy were attempted. The tumor was histologically diagnosed as a neural glioma. A preoperative acid-base disturbance was dramatically improved after surgery. The clinical changes appeared in this case sugge...
متن کاملThe location and function of respiratory fibres in the second cervical spinal cord segment: respiratory dysfunction syndrome after cervical cordotomy.
After high cervical percutaneous cordotomy for pain in malignant disease, 12 patients died during sleep at postoperative intervals between 1 and 8 days. Nine died after a first cordotomy and three after a second (contralateral) procedure. All except one had known pulmonary disease before operation. The operated segment of the spinal cord (C2) was studied histologically after death. Superpositio...
متن کاملDoes chronic cervical myelopathy affect respiratory function?
OBJECT Although respiratory function is often impaired by acute cervical spinal cord injury, changes in respiratory function in patients with chronic cervical myelopathy (CCM) are not well documented. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the respiratory function of patients with CCM. METHODS Spirometric parameters were measured in 94 patients with CCM before they underwent expansive lami...
متن کاملQuadriplegia with cervical cord compression.
Accepted 17 July 1996 A 36-year-old man was admitted to this unit with almost complete quadriplegia with no sensory level. The bladder and bowel functions had remained intact. When he was a 20-year-old student he had presented with brachialgia and neck swelling, which had been aspirated percutaneously in India in 1980; the fluid was discovered to contain protoscolecs and he was given a full cou...
متن کاملSpinal synaptic enhancement with acute intermittent hypoxia improves respiratory function after chronic cervical spinal cord injury.
Respiratory insufficiency is the leading cause of death after high-cervical spinal cord injuries (SCIs). Although respiratory motor recovery can occur with time after injury, the magnitude of spontaneous recovery is limited. We hypothesized that partial respiratory motor recovery after chronic cervical SCI could be strengthened using a known stimulus for spinal synaptic enhancement, intermitten...
