- Chordomas are slow-growing tumors that often relapse and require en bloc resection for better survival outcomes, although this can lead to permanent neurological deficits.
- The described method involved excising the tumor and reconstructing sacral nerves using nerve grafts from the patient's legs, aiming to restore nerve function.
- After initial loss of sexual and sphincter function, the patient showed significant recovery over a year, regaining full control and improving their quality of life.
Objectives: Intracranial meningioma with concomitant cavernous malformation has been rarely described in the literature. This study aimed to investigate the correct neurosurgical conduct.
Patients And Methods: We retrieved clinical and radiological data for 39 outpatients or patients that underwent surgery (mean age: 60 years; n = 25 females) for a single or multiple meningiomas and concomitant single or multiple cavernous malformations.
Purpose: Traumatic thoraco-lumbar spine fracture spine with a concomitant blunt aortic injury is uncommon but potentially a fatal association. Our aim was to clarify: morphology of spinal fractures related to vascular damages and vice versa, diagnostic procedures and decision-making process for the best treatment options for spine and vessels.
Methods: We enrolled 42 cases culled from the literature and five personal ones, reviewing in detail by AO Spine Classification, Society of Vascular Surgery classification and Abbreviated Injury Scale for neurological evaluation.
