Invasive Approach

Abstract Objective: This article aims to provide more insight into the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of Bertolotti's syndrome, which is a rare spinal disorder that is very difficult to recognize and diagnose correctly. The syndrome was first described by Bertolotti in 1917 and affects approximately 4 to 8% of the population. It is characterized by an enlarged transverse process at the most caudal lumbar vertebra with a pseudoarticulation of the transverse process and the sacral ala. It tends to present with low back pain and may be confused with facet and sacroiliac joint disease. Methods: In this case report, we describe a 40-year-old man who presented with low back pain and was eventually diagnosed with Bertolotti's syndrome. The correct diagnosis was made based on imaging studies which included computed tomographic scans, plain x-rays, and magnetic resonance imaging scans. The patient experienced temporary relief when the abnormal pseudoarticulation was injected with a cocktail consisting of lidocaine and steroids. In order to minimize the trauma associated with surgical treatment, a minimally invasive approach was chosen to resect the anomalous transverse process with the accompanying pseudoarticulation. Results: The patient did well postoperatively and had 97% resolution of his pain at 6 months after surgery. Conclusion: As with conventional surgical approaches, a complete knowledge of anatomy is required for minimally invasive spine surgery. This case is an example of the expanding utility of minimally invasive approaches in treating spinal disorders.

Soft Tissue Masses

Digital papillary adenocarcinoma (DPAc) is a relatively rare neoplasm arising from the sweat glands with a predilection for the hand. A case of DPAc in the third finger at the level of the proximal phalanx in a 55-year-old male is presented. Our paper recommends specific consideration of DPAc in evaluating digital soft tissue masses, particularly those that present with an aggressive nature.

Brachymetatarsia is an uncommon condition, and when present, it is usually asymptomatic. A case report demonstrating the use of distraction lengthening for symptomatic multiple congenital short metatarsals is presented. A 15-year-old female with congenital short third and fourth metatarsals was treated for painful transfer lesions under the second and fifth metatarsal heads and a secondary hallux valgus deformity. Surgical correction with a chevron osteotomy, soft tissue reconstruction of the second toe, and distraction lengthening of the third and fourth metatarsals was performed. Three years after treatment, the patient has an excellent clinical correction, with no evidence of recurrent transfer lesions. To our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating the use of distraction lengthening without supplemental bone graft for multiple short metatarsals in a single extremity.

A case of pneumonia with associated empyema caused byClostridium bifermentansis described.C bifermentansis an anaerobic, spore-forming, Gram-positive bacillus. This organism is infrequently reported as a cause of infection in humans, and older publications tended to regard it as nonpathogenic. However, in more recent reports,C bifermentanshas been documented as a cause of septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, soft tissue infection, abdominal infections, brain abscess, bacteremia and endocarditis. The present case is the third reported case of empyema caused byC bifermentans,and it serves to further define the spectrum of illness due to this uncommon organism.
