Bilateral vertebral artery occlusion following cervical spine trauma--case report.

A 41-year-old female presented with a rare case of bilateral vertebral artery occlusion following C5-6 cervical spine subluxation after a fall of 30 feet. Digital subtraction angiography showed occlusion of the bilateral vertebral arteries. Unlocking of the facet joint, posterior wiring with iliac crest grafting, and anterior fusion were performed.

Solitary eosinophilic granuloma of the lumbar spine in an adult. Case report.

Eosinophilic granuloma of bone is the localised and most benign form of Langerhans-cell histiocytosis, previously known as histiocytosis X and is characterised by lytic lesions of one or more bones. It is a disease of children and adolescents, and very rarely affects adults. We report a 34-year-old patient with a solitary eosinophilic granuloma involving the fifth lumbar vertebra which produced sciatica.
