Published: November 1987

The case described presented notable problems of diagnosis and treatment. The rapid onset of a massive tumoral syndrome in an infant with bronchiolitis dramatically worsened the clinical picture and led to the infant's death, posing the problem of the forms of congenital immune deficiency that may be associated with various aplastic and dysplastic haemopoietic alterations. The possibilities of treating such early hyperacute cases are limited given the lack of knowledge about the effects of drugs in such young children and the rapid deterioration of the patient's condition.

Preserving Cervical Mobility: A Novel Robot-Assisted Approach for Atlas Fracture Fixation.

Am J Case Rep

January 2025

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital, School of Medicine, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.

BACKGROUND The management of unstable atlas fractures remains a subject of ongoing debate and controversy. The conservative surgical treatment commonly involves fusion, resulting in severe loss of cervical spine mobility, and a large incisions and extensive tissue dissection are required. We aim to introduce a novel concept and surgical approach for treating atlas fracture, one that involves minimizing trauma while maintaining mobility of the upper cervical spine without resorting to fusion.
