A combined posterior, lateral, and anterior approach to ventrolaterally situated chordoma of the upper cervical spine.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Lesions ventral and ventrolateral to the neuraxis at the CCJ can pose a significant management problem owing to their strategic location. Conventional direct posterior approaches sometimes may not allow adequate visualization of the ... Read more...

Comparative study of neck pain in relation to increase of cervical epidural pressure during percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy.

30 Aug 2009 STUDY DESIGN: A prospective study. OBJECTIVE: By monitoring cervical epidural pressure (EP) changes throughout the procedure, we intend to discover the effect of percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) on cervical epidural pressure and ... Read more...

Caudal epidural blood patch.

30 Aug 2009 This report describes the use of a single shot, through the needle caudal approach to epidural blood patch (EBP) in a patient with persistent leakage of cerebrospinal fluid following lumbosacral laminectomy. A previous report of caudal EBP in an ... Read more...
