Date of publication: 31-May-2010
Background:Large schwannomas arising from the oculomotor nerve are very rare. The common site of tumor occurrence in this nerve is the segment within the interpeduncular cistern and the cavernous sinus.
Metastasis to the occipitocervical junction: A case report and review of the literature
Date of publication: 31-May-2010
BackgroundThe management of metastatic spinal disease is generally considered palliative, as the progression of systemic disease is likely to hinder survival. Although the occurrence of C1-C2 instability due to metastatic disease is not uncommon and thus treatment options have been well-defined, craniocervical instability due to lesions occurring at the junction of the occiput and atlas is more rare, and treatment for metastasis to this region is less well-defined.
Computed tomography-guided vertebroplasty using a stereotactic guidance system (stereo-guide)
Date of publication: 31-May-2010
BackgroundIn order to make it easy to perform computed tomography (CT)-guided vertebroplasty a stereotactic guidance system called the "stereo-guide" was designed. A method to perform CT-guided vertebroplasty using this system is described.
