Hospital Records

In a retrospective study, the authors have reviewed the hospital records of 5,778 patients with Hodgkin's disease, lymphosarcoma, multiple myeloma, and leukemia. A total of 795 neurobogic complications occurring in 745 patients were discovered which represented a patient incidence of approximately 13%. The complications which were encountered included spinal cord compression, infiltration of intracranial structures, compression and infiltration of peripheral and cranial nerves, intracranial hemorrhage, infiltration or invasion of the pituitary by tumor cells, and central nervous system infections occurring in association with the various malignancies.

Lumbar Pedicle

✓ The purpose of this retrospective study was to demonstrate the utility of diathermy in avoiding nerve injuries due to misplacement of lumbar pedicle screws (PSs). The authors used diathermy to assess whether a screw deviated from the pedicle by observing synchronous leg movements caused by intermittently touching an electric knife to the pedicular instrument. Diathermy was performed in 259 cases in which 1301 PSs had been placed. Leg movements were observed in 36 cases, and the sensitivity of diathermy was 85.7%, with a specificity of 99.5%. No neurological complications associated with the placement of PSs were observed after adding diathermy testing to conventional methods. Diathermy testing may be a way to avoid nerve injuries during lumbar PS placement.
