Initial Results

The authors present a patient with a lipomyelomeningocele and worsening back pain due to recurrent tethered cord syndrome. Because of the increased risk and unlikely improvement in symptoms with repeated surgical untethering, she was offered an alternative treatment with a trial of dorsal spinal cord stimulation. She had an excellent response to the percutaneous trial, and a permanent implant was placed, with good initial results. The authors review her case as well as the treatment options, indications, and outcomes for recurrent tethered cord syndrome.

Abstract Previously published work indicated significant improvement in the symptoms of multiple sclerosis with dorsal spinal cord stimulation. In this study 23 patients with multiple sclerosis documented by history, examination, laboratory studies, and clinical course were treated with dorsal spinal cord stimulation and followed for 19 to 45 months (mean, 32 months). Preand postoperative clinical assessment was carried out using the Kurtzke Scale. Walking velocity, upper limb coordination, sphincter function, and sensory function were also evaluated quantitatively. No statistically significant objective improvement in any of these measures was demonstrated. Fifty per cent of the patients initially reported subjective symptomatic improvement, but this declined to 30% at last follow-up. Fifteen of 23 patients experienced complications related mainly to the hardware used and required a total of 21 subsequent operative procedures for correction of these complications. These results do not support the continued clinical use of dorsal spinal cord stimulation in the symptomatic treatment of multiple sclerosis.

✓ Direct spinal cord stimulation and recording was performed in five dogs to identify the dorsal root entry zone (DREZ) and long tracts within the dorsal and dorsolateral spinal cord using electrophysiological mapping techniques. Intrathecal recordings were obtained from sites distal to the site of stimulation. Conduction velocity in the fastest conducting fibers was higher following low-intensity stimulation of the dorsolateral spinal cord than after dorsal spinal cord stimulation. The evoked response was larger following dorsolateral than dorsal spinal cord stimulation at a specific stimulus intensity. This technique is useful in identifying the DREZ using electrophysiological criteria alone.
