Introduction: Epidural spinal cord stimulation is a minimally invasive procedure with a growing list of indications. It has a good safety profile and analgesic effect, reduces the severity of spasticity, and activates various brain regions. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcome of epidural spinal cord stimulation in patients with spastic syndrome and chronic disorders of consciousness resulting from severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI).

This is due to its wide availability, low cost, lack of contraindications, and absence of harmful effects for the patient and medical staff, along with the possibility of real-time verification of the complete resection of tumor lesions and minimization of vascular injuries or damage to adjacent structures.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted from June to December 2022.
Article Synopsis
- * When there is instability or nerve compression, surgical options like anterior decompression and stabilization are necessary, particularly if a vertebral artery aneurysm is involved.
- * A case study is provided where a patient with a vertebral pseudoaneurysm after myeloma treatment had successful management through an endonasal approach and spinal fusion, resulting in good recovery without major neurological issues.
