AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The method of selective epidural phlebography (SEP) was applied in the diagnosis of tumors of the cervical segment of the spinal cord and the roots of cauda equina in 45 patients. The diagnosis was confirmed in 32 of the 37 patients who were operated on. The SEP method does not produce serious complications and allows circulatory disorders in the vertebral venous plexuses to be revealed. The diagnostic value of the method is higher in tumors of superocervical localization and hourglass tumors.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the prevalence of an anaerobic bacteria in children with complicated acute mastoiditis, noting its link to severe intracranial complications.
- Researchers analyzed CT venography from 76 hospitalized children, distinguishing between those with the bacteria-related infections and those with infections from other pathogens.
- Findings revealed significantly higher complication rates in children with the anaerobic bacteria, emphasizing the need for specialized treatment protocols tailored to this specific pathogen.
Case report: Simultaneous measurement of intracranial pressure and lumbar intrathecal pressure during epidural patch therapy for treating spontaneous intracranial hypotension syndrome. Spontaneous intracranial hypotension or spontaneous intraspinal hypovolume?
Front Neurol
March 2024
Neurology Department, Delafontaine Hospital, Saint-Denis, France.
Objectives: Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is frequently complicated by subacute subdural hematoma (SDH) and more rarely by bilateral thalamic ischemia. Here, we report a case of SIH-related SDH treated with three epidural patches (EPs), with follow-up of the intracranial pressure and lumbar intrathecal pressure.
Methods: A 46-year-old man presented bilateral thalamic ischemia, then a growing SDH.
Cauda Equina Syndrome Caused by Epidural Venous Plexus Engorgement in a Patient with May-Thurner Syndrome.

The purpose of this article is to present a case of cauda equina syndrome in a patient with incomplete motor and sensory deficits due to epidural venous plexus engorgement, owing to May-Thurner syndrome successfully treated with venous iliac stenting. A 40-year-old woman, with previous history of deep vein thrombosis and miscarriages, gradually developed right leg and back pain, with functional limitation, perineal hypoesthesia, and sphincter incontinence. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed epidural venous plexus engorgement and cauda equina roots involvement.

Background: Overshunting-associated myelopathy (OSAM) is a very rare complication of ventricular shunt therapy, and only 11 previous cases have been reported in the literature. We report the successful surgical management of a case of OSAM in a patient with bilateral jugular vein occlusion and congenital hydrocephalus.
Case Description: A 45-year-old patient with shunt-dependent, congenital hydrocephalus presented to our department with an 8-year history of progressive tetraparesis and gait disturbance.
