Postoperative transient tetraplegia in two patients caused by cervical spondylotic myelopathy.   Anaesthesia, 66(3): 213-6.

We report two patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy following non-cervical spine surgery. These cases revealed postoperative transient tetraplegia with respiratory insufficiency despite optimal anaesthetic management. Both patients showed no limitation of their neck movement at pre-operative airway examination. In addition, their necks had never been overextended during anaesthesia including tracheal intubation. However, postoperative magnetic resonance imaging showed cervical ... [Abstract] [Full-text]

Unilateral congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles with lid retraction: surgical treatment with a silicon plate on the orbital floor.   Strabismus, 19(1): 12-6.

Fibrosis of the extraocular muscles can be an acquired or congenital disorder (CFEOM). The congenital disorder(1) is a complex strabismus with congenital restrictive ophthalmoplegia with or without ptosis. The surgery is challenging because the eye muscles are replaced by fibrous tissue or fibrous bands and in most cases the results are not satisfactory. We present the first case report of unilateral CFEOM with palpebral adherence and hypotropia, which was managed with our technique of a ... [Abstract] [Full-text]
