  • spontaneous thoracolumbar spinal cord infarction report of six cases
    Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 1992
    Co-Authors: Luis F C Monteiro, I Leite, Almeida J Pinto, A Stocker
    Abstract:

    : We present a retrospective study of 6 patients with spinal cord infarction in the territory of the Adamkiewicz artery. In all patients, the clinical picture was stereotyped: sudden onset of paraplegia and bilateral radicular pain, Dissociated Sensory Loss below the level of infarction and sphincter dysfunction. Emergency neuroradiological investigation ruled out a compressive lesion in all cases. In one patient, spinal angiography was performed and identified an occlusion of the Adamkiewicz artery. Treatment was supportive and all patients had a substantial recovery over a period of weeks.

  • mri of spinal cord infarction
    Neurology, 2000
    Co-Authors: Lippincott Williams Wilkins
    Abstract:

    A. Gass, MD, T. Back, MD, S. Behrens, MD, A. Maras, MD, Mannheim, Germany A 55-year-old woman experienced lower back pain and over the next 3 hours developed a flaccid paraplegia, sphincter paresis, and Dissociated Sensory Loss distally to the level of L1. There was slight bilateral hypesthesia, but sensation of light touch was largely preserved. T2-weighted MRI 12 hours after symptom onset showed a hyperintense lesion in the central …

  • Surgical treatment of syringomyelia
    Rinshō shinkeigaku Clinical neurology, 1995
    Co-Authors: Yoshiji Okuda, Hiroyasu Nagashima, Isojima A, Satoshi Tani
    Abstract:

    : Eighty cases of surgically treated syringomyelia were retrospectively reviewed. The cases were classified into following 4 types, type 1: syringomyelia with Chiari malformation (54 cases), type 2: syringomyelia with basal arachnoiditis (15 cases), type 3: syringomyelia with an obstruction of the foramen Magendie (1 case), and type 4: syringomyelia with spinal arachnoiditis (14 cases). Foramen magnum decompression (FMD) was performed in patients with type 1, in type 2 fourth ventricle-subarachnoid shunt was additionally performed. Gardner's operation was performed in patients with type 3. Syrinx-peritoneal shunt was performed in patients with type 4. Surgical procedures for syringomyelia which we selected were thought to be appropriate, based on postoperative syrinx collapse rate in MRI. However, postoperative clinical course was much different in each type of syringomyelia after the collapse of syrinx had been equally achieved. Neurological disorders were stopped in deterioration after surgery in all cases of type 1. However, motor weakness was still deteriorated in half cases of type 2, and in 60% of type 4. When clinical severity of the patients with type 1 and 2, based on the distribution of Dissociated Sensory Loss and motor weakness, were classified into 5 grades. The rate of improvement of patient's symptoms and signs was higher in the lower grades. We concluded that a surgical treatment for syringomyelia was essentially a preventive one, therefore it should be done in early stage of disorders.
