Article Synopsis
- Vascular complications after anterior cervical spine surgery, while rare, can lead to serious issues for patients, such as cerebral infarction, emphasizing the need for risk factor screening prior to surgery.
- A case study is presented where a patient developed symptoms like Horner syndrome post-surgery, followed by left hemiplegia due to ischemia in the right middle cerebral artery territory, leading to a complex emergency intervention.
- Despite the patient having no previous medical issues, tests revealed dyslipidemia, suggesting that pre-surgical ultrasound assessments of cervical arteries could help identify patients at higher risk for serious complications.
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a major concern for neurosurgeons and oncologists, being a malignant tumor with a high recurrence rate and reduced survival. Leptomeningeal dissemination (LMD) of GBM is rare and difficult to diagnose due to the low rate of cellular detection in the cerebrospinal fluid and clinical and imaging similarities with fungal and tuberculous meningitis. We report the case of a 25-year-old female patient suffering from multicentric GBM who developed hydrocephalus and extensive LMD three months after surgery for a left frontal parafalcine cerebral GBM isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-wildtype.
