Natural history of spinal cord metastasis from brain glioblastomas.

Background And Objectives: Spinal cord metastasis arising from an intracranial glioblastoma is a rare and late event during the natural course of the disease. These pathological entities remain poorly characterized. This study aimed to identify and investigate the timeline, clinical and imaging findings, and prognostic factors of spinal cord metastasis from a glioblastoma.

Bilateral carotid-cavernous fistula after trauma presenting as hemorrhagic shock: Case report.

Bilateral carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) is a rare complication associated with severe head injury and skull base fractures. Initial presentation with hemodynamically relevant epistaxis is unusual. We report a case of a 27-year-old male presenting with severe craniocerebral injury associated with massive epistaxis.

Surgical treatment of high-grade spondylolisthesis: Technique and results.

Background: Surgical management of high-grade spondylolisthesis is not only challenging but also controversial, from in situ fusion to complete reduction. We report our results of a safe three-stage spinal procedure in a single surgical session with seven patients diagnosed high-grade spondylolisthesis.

Hypothesis: Posterior fixation combined with interbody fusion is effective on reduction, ossification and clinical outcomes in high-grade spondylolisthesis.
