Conservative treatment for traumatic atlantoaxial joint infra-anterior dislocation complicating odontoid fracture in young children: A case series.
J Child Orthop
December 2024
Department of Pediatric Orthopaedics, Children's Hospital of Fudan University, National Children's Medical Center, Shanghai, China.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to retrospectively analyze children treated conservatively in our hospital to explore the clinical characteristics of children with traumatic atlantoaxial joint infra-anterior dislocation complicating odontoid fracture and the therapeutic effects of treatment.
Methods: Patients with atlantoaxial joint infra-anterior dislocation complicating odontoid fracture received conservative treatment, which comprised three steps: cervical traction (2 weeks), plaster fixation (2 months), and brace fixation (3 months).
Results: We treated three patients (boy:girl = 0:3, mean age = 2.
The relationship between falls and hip bone mineral density of paretic and nonparetic limbs after stroke.
PM R

Gaziler Physical Therapy And Rehabilitation Training And Research Hospital, University of Health Sciences, Ankara, Turkey.
Background: Poststroke osteoporosis, particularly of the hip, and an increased risk of fractures due to accidental falls are well known in people with stroke. Only a few of the current stroke guidelines recommend bone mineral density (BMD) measurements during follow-up in this population and measurements are often performed unilaterally.
Objectives: To compare femoral hip BMD between fallers and nonfallers among patients with stroke, while also assessing differences in balance, mobility, fear of falling, and exploring discrepancies between paretic and nonparetic sides within each group.
Integrated surgical intervention for intradural extramedullary hemangioblastoma of the cervical spine: a case report and literature review.
Front Oncol
November 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, Jiangsu, China.
Article Synopsis
- Hemangioblastoma is a rare type of spinal cord tumor, making up only 1-5% of such cases, particularly notable in this report is the cervical intradural extramedullary hemangioblastoma without Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, which has never been documented in China before.
- A 53-year-old male presented with symptoms including mild right hemiplegia, and imaging confirmed the tumor at the cervical spine; pre-surgery angiography helped minimize bleeding during the complete resection of the tumor.
- Post-surgery, the patient showed improved motor and sensory functions, and pathology confirmed the tumor type; findings aligned with literature indicating combined surgical approaches are best for managing this rare condition while reducing risks associated with
Cervical epidural hematoma: a case series highlighting uncommon causes.
Int J Emerg Med
September 2024
Acute and Emergency Care, Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, 90 Yishun Central, Singapore, 768828, Singapore.
Article Synopsis
- Cervical epidural hematoma (CEH) is a rare condition where blood accumulates in the epidural space of the neck, potentially compressing the spinal cord, with unusual cases linked to neck strain and acupuncture.
- Two case presentations illustrate how these uncommon causes led to serious symptoms: one elderly woman showed weakness after a fall, and a younger man experienced sudden numbness shortly after treatment.
- The cases underscore the necessity for medical professionals to consider these rare causes for timely diagnosis and treatment to prevent further complications.
Innovative use of a stent retriever for temporary revascularization in acute internal carotid artery dissection.
Radiol Case Rep
October 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, 7-5-1 Kusunoki-cho, Chuo-ku, Kobe 650-0017, Japan.
Internal carotid artery dissection is rare but can be a cause of stroke in young people. In a case of revascularization for stroke associated with internal carotid artery dissection, we initially used a stent retriever for thrombectomy. Since an appropriately-sized stent for permanent treatment was not available, we innovatively maintained temporary revascularization with the stent retriever for 90 minutes.
