ABSTRACTNeural prostheses which are commercially available include cochlear implants for treating certain forms of deafness and urinary bladder evacuation prostheses for individuals with spinal cord disorders. In the future we can anticipate improvements in bioelectrodes and biomaterials which should permit more sophisticated devices such as visual prostheses for the blind and auditory prostheses for the deaf based on microstimulation of the central nervous system.

Type B Aortic Dissection

We report 2 cases of successful thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for acute type B aortic dissection (ABAD) complicated with spinal cord ischemia (SCI). Case 1. A 70-year-old gentleman found with an uncomplicated ABAD with false lumen occluded, developed SCI shortly after admission during the initial medical management. Cerebrospinal fluid drainage (CSFD) was initiated followed by emergent TEVAR. SCI improved, and the patient was discharged. Case 2. A 52-year-old gentleman developed uncomplicated ABAD with patent false lumen. 5 hours after admission, he developed SCI during the initial medical management. Emergent TEVAR was performed followed by CSFD, and the SCI improved before discharge. These cases prompted us to address prompt TEVAR for primary entry closure and true lumen dilatation with postoperative hypertensive management to relieve the dynamic obstruction of the segmental arteries responsible for the compromised spinal cord circulation in complicated ABAD.

AbstractVascular disorders of the spinal cord are uncommon yet under-recognized causes of myelopathy. Etiologies can be predominantly categorized into clinical and radiographic presentations of arterial ischemia, venous congestion/ischemia, hematomyelia, and extraparenchymal hemorrhage. While vascular myelopathies often produce significant morbidity, recent advances in the understanding and recognition of these disorders should continue to expedite diagnosis and proper management, and ideally improve patient outcomes. This article comprehensively reviews relevant spinal cord vascular anatomy, clinical features, radiographic findings, treatment, and prognosis of vascular disorders of the spinal cord.
