Omentomyelopexy for the Treatment of a Persistent Lumbar Pseudomeningocele: A Case Report With Technical Note.

Background And Importance: Pseudomeningoceles are extradural accumulations of cerebrospinal fluid. In most cases, they appear as a complication of spinal operations. Omentomyelopexy is a surgery in which an autologous omentum flap is implanted over the dural opening.

Combined Treatment of Ruptured Middle Cerebral Artery Aneurysm Followed by Subarachnoid Hemorrhage and Acute Subdural Hematoma in Multiple Aneurysm Disease of Cerebral Blood Vessels: Case Report.

Aneurysms of blood vessels at the base of the brain are pathological focal out-pouchings, usually found at the branching points of the arteries. Aneurysm can remain silent for life. Clinical presentation is due to rupture and bleeding.

Cranial Reconstruction Using Autologous Bone and Methylmethacrilate.

Background: Having in mind the importance of reconstruction of the calvaria, our goal was to compare the complication rates following the use of autologous bone and methylmethacrilate grafts, and explain the factors influencing them.

Methods: The authors collected information of all the patients undergoing cranial reconstructive surgery (N = 149) at the Military Medical Academy in Belgrade. Procedures were performed either using a craniotomy bone flap, removed and replaced in the same act, or using methylmethacrilate.

Cranial reconstruction with prefabricated 3D implant after a gunshot injury: A case report.

Introduction: Complex defects of skull bones with different etiology, still present the challenge in reconstructive surgery. The goldstandard for cranioplasty is the autologous calvarial bone graft removed during surgery which cannot be always applied, especially in gunshot wounds for sometimes complete bone destruction. Autologous reconstruction with split calvarial, rib bones or iliac bone graft is also possible.

Symptomatic migration of a Kirschner wire into the spinal canal without spinal cord injury: case report.

The migration of Kirschner wires (K-wires) is a rare but significant complication of osteosynthesis interventions, and numerous cases of wire migrations have been reported in the literature. Nevertheless, migration into the spinal canal is very rare, with only 10 cases reported thus far. The authors present a case of K-wire migration into the spinal canal, together with a review of the relevant literature.
