Article Synopsis
- Phantom and residual limb pain are prevalent among amputees and can be challenging to manage with traditional medical treatments alone.
- The underlying causes of this refractory pain are not fully understood, and various mechanisms are still being researched.
- A case study is presented involving a patient who experienced persistent pain after hip disarticulation, which was treated with sciatic-notch radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for effective pain relief.
Article Synopsis
- Prostate cancer is a major health issue for males, being the second most diagnosed cancer globally, while radiation therapy, a common treatment, has several adverse effects, leading to interest in proton beam therapy for its precision and reduced toxicity.
- A case study of a 68-year-old man who developed delayed-onset lumbosacral polyradiculitis five months after undergoing proton beam therapy illustrates potential complications, with MRI and EMG confirming nerve root issues likely due to radiation.
- The conclusion stresses the rarity of radiation-induced lumbosacral plexopathy and underscores the importance of ongoing patient follow-up and thorough review of cancer histories post-treatment.
Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism, while increasing the susceptibility to osteoporosis, also amplifies the potential for fractures in vulnerable areas such as the femoral neck. It can also serve as an infrequent etiological factor behind vertebral compression fractures.
Case Report: This report discusses a case of multiple acute non-traumatic vertebral compression fractures in a patient diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism.
