The effect of flexion on the level of termination of the dural sac in paediatric patients.

29 Sep 2009 SUMMARY: Although the anatomy of the spinal cord and its associated structures have been well defined, the effects of body position relevant to neuraxial blockade have not been elucidated. This study was designed to determine the effect of body ... Read more...

Iatrogenic intradural spinal arachnoid cyst as a complication of lumbar spine surgery.

30 Aug 2009 Iatrogenic spinal arachnoid cysts are rare, but have been described as a complication of spinal injection and lumbar puncture procedures. The authors describe 2 cases of iatrogenic spinal arachnoid cyst formation that occurred after incidental ... Read more...

Imaging diagnosis: traumatic dural tear diagnosed using intrathecal gadopentate dimeglumine.

30 Aug 2009 A dog with traumatic monoplegia had a spinal cord lesion, identified using conventional magnetic resonance imaging. In addition, the intrathecal use of gadopentate dimeglumine allowed identification of two sites of cerebrospinal fluid leakage from ... Read more...
