Article Synopsis
- Adult patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) often face difficulties with traditional lumbar punctures, necessitating a safer, alternative method for administering the drug nusinersen.
- The study involved using cone-beam CT (CBCT) to guide needle placement for intrathecal delivery, successfully treating 20 patients with challenging anatomical access.
- Results showed 100% technical success in procedures, low radiation exposure, and only mild adverse events, indicating that the CBCT-guided approach is both feasible and safe for these patients.
