Abstract This 3-dimensional operative video illustrates resection of 2 cervical spine schwannomas in a 19-yr-old female with neurofibromatosis type 2. The patient presented with lower extremity hyperreflexity and hypertonicity. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated 2 contrast-enhancing intradural extramedullary cervical spine lesions causing spinal cord compression at C4 and C5. The patient underwent a posterior cervical laminoplasty with a midline dural opening for tumor resection. Curvilinear spine cord compression is demonstrated in the operative video. After meticulous dissection, the tumors were resected without complication. The dural closure was performed in watertight fashion followed by laminoplasty using osteoplastic titanium miniplates and screws. Postoperative MRI demonstrated gross total resection with excellent decompression of the spinal cord. The postoperative course was uneventful. The natural history of this disease, treatment options, and potential complications are discussed.

BACKGROUND: Damage on the somatosensory system could cause sensation of dizziness, a condition known as cervicogenic dizziness (CD). Manual physical therapy has shown beneficial effects, relieving the symptoms of cervicogenic dizziness. However, the effect of upper cervical spine manipulation is unknown, as this is a technique that respects the International Federation of Orthopedic Manipulative Physical Therapists (IFOMPT) safety criteria. OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of upper cervical spine traction-manipulation in subjects with cervicogenic dizziness. METHODS: This was a descriptive case series study. Treatment focused on the upper cervical spine manipulation procedure. Evaluation was performed before and after the treatment. Variables recorded include upper and lower cervical range of motion, Cervical Flexion-Rotation Test (CFRT), dizziness intensity and cervical pain (VAS), self-perceived dizziness measured with Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) and subjective perception of outcome (GROC-scale). RESULTS: Ten subjects were recruited. After the treatment protocol, there was an increased range of movement towards the most restricted side, as measured by the CFRT (p< 0.001), decreased intensity of dizziness (p< 0.001) and intensity of pain (p< 0.001). Functional capacity also improved after the intervention (p< 0.011). CONCLUSION: Upper cervical spine manipulation may decrease dizziness intensity and cervical pain and improve functional ability and upper cervical spine mobility in patients with cervicogenic dizziness.

Advantages And Disadvantages

Background. Most cervical spine procedures in patients with degenerative disc disease involve discectomy and remo­val of osteophytes in posterior vertebral body surfaces followed by interbody stabilisation with an interbody implant. Interbody implants are made of a variety of materials, differing in structural design, shape and surface topography. Considering that fusion between the implant and host bone is crucial for long-term positive outcomes, the choice of an appropriate implant is significantly important clinically and continues to be an important area of study. Material and methods. Relevant published studies indexed by Medline were identified via PubMed and reviewed. The findings were combined with the authors’ experiences. The database query was based on keywords related to implants in cervical spine surgery. This article presents the currently most popular types of implants by describing their properties and indicating their strengths and weaknesses as well as differences between different implant types. Results. Currently, the most popular interbody cages in cervical spine surgery are polyetheretherketone (PEEK) im­plants, titanium-coated PEEK implants and titanium implants. Besides the type of material used, the shape and surface structure of an implant appear to be of significant importance for a successful bony fusion. Conclusions. 1. 3D printing and the ability to produce 3-dimensional porous-surfaced implants opens up considerable pro­spects for this technique in the production of modern interbody implants. 2. Implants that facilitate the engagement (interlocking) of greater volumes of bone (e.g. porous implants) offer better implant fixation, with the type of material used being less important.
