05-AUGUST-2015 NASER MUHAMED HAJEERA 58 YEARS
SPONDYLOLISTHESIS L4-5 WITH SEVERE STENOSIS WITH ELEMENTS OF CCS AND PARKINSON'S
DISEASE.
Anamnesis
The patient came to the clinic 01-August-2015
complaining of difficult setting and standing
for 2 years, shuffling gait for 35 years after
suffering trauma to the spine with fracture of
D10, with ataxia for 2 years and numbness right
hand for 6 months.
On examination, the patient walking bended
anterior with shuffling gait. Romberg position:
sway to all directions with tremor both hands
more the left. He has decreased hearing right
side for 10 years after direct trauma to the
ear. There is swan neck deformity right
hand. There is weak grip, extension right hand
4/5 and the right triceps 4/5. Weak right
quadriceps 3/5, dorsiflexion right foot 3/5,
left foot -3/5, planterflexion right foot 2/5
right foot 5/5. Senimet with pain killers were
started.
The patient was sent for investigations and MRI
of the brain showed rich iron deposition of both
pallidi interna. There is slight stenosis of the
cervical spine at C4-5 and 5-6. Dorsal showed
the old wedge fracture of D10 with malacia of
the spinal cord. MRI lumbar spine showed
spondylolisthesis L4-5 with severe segmental
stenosis.
Using the C-arm the level of L4-5 was
identified. Decompressive laminectomy L4 and
upper fourth of L5 was achieved. Foraminotomy
both L5 roots was performed. Transpedicular
fixation of L4-5 was done using legacy FA screws
3 6.5x45 mm to the L5 and right side of L4. The
left side of L4 level was fixed with 7.5x45 mm
screw because the first was polyaxial and it was
lateral in position. It was removed and changed
with more medial direction. Cross connector and
the harvested bone was melted and used lateral
to the rods 5 cm length bended to accept the
natural curve of the area. Routine closure
of the wound.
Smooth postoperative recovery.
The power of the left foot became normal and
slight improvement of the power of the right
foot.
Comments
The patient has many problems and
recovery will depend upon the cause of his neurologic
deficit.
Skyra MRI with all clinical applications in the run since 28-Novemeber-2013.
Inomed Riechert-Mundinger System, with three point
fixation is the most accurate system in the market. The microdrive and
its sensor gives feed back about the localization.
