Sacral Nerve and Spinal Cord Stimulation for Intractable Neuropathic Pain Caused by Spinal Cord Infarction

NEUROMODULATION, Issue 4 2007
Sung Ho Kim MD
ABSTRACT Central cord pain is very difficult to relieve, even with the many kinds of medical and surgical treatments available. Following spinal cord infarctions, central cord pain can develop. The problems that may arise could include limb pain, pelvic pain, difficulties voiding, and difficulties defecating. We are reporting a case of central cord pain caused by a spinal cord infarction of the conus medullaris. Limb pain was reduced by spinal cord stimulation. Voiding and defecation difficulties and pelvic pain were reduced by sacral nerve stimulation. Thus, in a case involving both intractable limb and pelvic pain, a combination therapy of these two stimulations might be an effective treatment modality. [source]

Spinal cord infarction in a patient with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, receiving chemotherapy combined with bevacizumab

ASIA-PACIFIC JOURNAL OF CLINICAL ONCOLOGY, Issue 3 2009
Katherine MASSELOS
Abstract Bevacizumab is an anti-angiogenesis agent that has many applications in the current management of patients with cancer, including advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Its value is however, not without side effects. We present the first reported case of spinal cord infarction in the setting of bevacizumab use in a 70-year old woman with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. [source]

Decompression Sickness: MRI of the Spinal Cord

JOURNAL OF NEUROIMAGING, Issue 4 2007
Pin Lin Kei MBChB
ABSTRACT Decompression sickness (DCS) typically causes changes in the white matter of the spinal cord on MR imaging. We present a case of DCS in a scuba diver with dorsal white matter lesions typical of venous infarction. In addition, some central gray matter involvement was noted. Characteristic features of venous spinal cord infarction can be recognized on MR imaging in DCS but may be more extensive in severe cases. [source]
