Article Synopsis
- Anterolateral cordotomy (AL-C) is a procedure used to relieve severe cancer pain, but its usage has declined, risking the loss of expertise among neurosurgeons.
- The study reviews patient selection, outcomes, and current techniques for both percutaneous and open AL-C, supported by case examples and visuals.
- AL-C effectively reduces pain and decreases reliance on pain medications, although it may sometimes fail to provide long-lasting relief or can lead to mirror pain.
Introduction: ICU patients with SARS-CoV-2-related pneumonia are at risk to develop a central dysautonomia which can contribute to mortality and respiratory failure. The pupillary size and its reactivity to light are controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Pupillometry parameters (PP) allow to predict outcomes in various acute brain injuries.
