PERCUTANEOUS AUTOMATED NUCLEOTOMY İN THE DİAGNOSİS AND TREATMENT OF A HERNIATED JUVENILE CERVICAL INTERVERTEBRAL DISC CALCIFICATION : CASE REPORT
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1995, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
A nine-year old female patient with a resistent neck pain and torticollis had a mass lesion compressing the dura at C2-3 disc level. We performed percutaneous automated nudeotomy technique easily under local anesthe-sia either to decompress dura, and to make differential diagnosis. She had a rapid relief of pain and spasm after surgery, and the decompression vvas satisfactory on her postoperative cervical magnetic resonance images. The bacteriological investigations were negative, and the histopathological diagnosis vvas a calcified and degenerated disc tissue. So, we recommend nucleotome as an alternative procedure in approaching certain cervical spine pa-thologies for either diagnosis or treatment.
