Total recuperation in a case of sudden total paraplegia due to an aneurysmal bone cyst of the thoracic spine.

A 3-year-old girl developed sudden complete paraplegia because of an aneurysmal bone cyst of the fourth thoracic vertebra. We performed a two-step surgical procedure resulting in complete neurological recuperation and no cyst recurrence within 2.5-year follow-up. Although the literature shows the prognosis of such a condition to be poor, this case reveals the positive effect of rapid surgical decompression and of postponing assessment by magnetic resonance imaging until before the second surgical stage. Furthermore, this case is an example of cure with neither interbody fusion nor postoperative radiotherapy, despite the total involvement of the vertebrae by the lesion.

The contribution of CT to perinatal intracranial hemorrhage including that accompanying apparently uncomplicated delivery at full term.

The clinical and CT evolution of intracranial bleeding in six neonates (four full-term and two premature) has been followed. Clinical symptoms, risk factors, evolution, sequellae and prognostic factors of intracranial hemorrhage in the newborn are reviewed. The routine use of CT for detection and survey of perinatal hemorrhage and its sequellae is recommended.

Recognition of cervical soft disk herniation by contrast-enhanced CT.

A large number of patients with suspected cervical disk herniation were examined by high-resolution computed tomography (CT) with intravenous contrast enhancement. Thirteen herniated disks have been diagnosed by this technique. The disk protrusion causes displacement and a resultant filling defect in the epidural plexus, which is visualized after contrast enhancement. In some cases not clearly diagnosable by this method or by conventional myelography, the combination of intrathecal metrizamide and CT was most valuable.
