The C5 spinous process which was destroyed by the disease process was seen to have gradually reformed on serial radiographs. Conclusion: Isolated posterior spinal tuberculosis is rare, but it must be thought of as a differential diagnosis in suitable cases. Diseased tissue in tuberculosis has high...
T2-weighted spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) also revealed the pedunculated calcified mass arising from the caudal border of L3 spinous process 42 × 36 × 40 mm in size with a 2 mm thick cartilaginous cap (Fig. 5, Fig. 6). This lesion distributed to layers A–B, sectors 1–12...
Under endoscopic vision lateral margin of resection was aided by superior articular process tip ipsilateral side and medial by ligamentum flavum cleft. Superior and inferior margins of resection were aided by ligamentum flavum drop-off of C3–C4 and C4–C5 respectively. Confirmation of adequate ...
Plain radiography (Fig. 1) and computed tomography scan (Fig. 2) revealed the presence of a hypertrophic C5 spinous process resembling a rib. The abnormal bone segment extended caudally and pseudoarticulated with the medial border of the left scapula (Fig. 3). Mild C5 and C6 posterior arch...
A spinal implant device immobilizes an attached vertebrae through a minimally invasive surgical approach while providing a compartment within the implant for the placement of bone graft or bone graft substitute. The bone graft material fuses the spinous processes and/or lamina portion of bone of ...
To relieve his symptom and preserve spine stability, we performed an operation to remove the C5-T2 intramedullary ependymoma. Meantime, the laminae-spinous process complex was replanted and fixed in situ.#Magnetic resonance imaging indicated that the tumor was completely resected. There are no ...
