Article Synopsis
- Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is effective for treating strokes caused by large vessel occlusion, but it often shows poor results in elderly patients, leading to concerns about unnecessary procedures.
- A study analyzed the relationship between visual assessments of brain atrophy and leukoaraiosis on CT scans and outcomes for elderly stroke patients undergoing thrombectomy, focusing on their 90-day recovery status.
- Results indicated that increased severity of brain atrophy and leukoaraiosis correlated with lower recovery rates post-procedure, suggesting these factors may be useful indicators of patient outcomes and help minimize futile treatments.
We present a case of a 15-year-old male with history of back pain and bilateral lower limb radiculopathy due to fall. The magnetic resonance imaging scan showed disc bulge at L2-L3 level causing compression on contained nerve roots. In this case, computed tomography scan was indispensable for diagnosis and classification of the vertebral apophyseal fracture and to guide appropriate further management.
