Transient global amnesia syndrome (TGA) is defined by an abrupt onset of an anterograde and retrograde amnesia that lasts up to 24 h, although mild subclinical neuropsychological deficits, with concomitant vegetative symptoms, can last for days after the episode. To our knowledge no cases of TGA in association with EDS have been recognized. We present a case of a 54-year-old man who was admitted for EDS, having experienced two times the failed surgery for spinal and left leg pain. During the EDS, 10 ml of non-ionic contrast media (CM) was injected to confirm the inside lesions. The epidural adhesions were gently broken down and drugs were injected around any inflamed nerve roots. Immediately after EDS, the patient experienced a TGA with loss of memory for the recent procedure and an impaired ability to retain new information. There were no signs of confusion or altered conscious level or seizure activities and neurological examination was normal. At 24 h a cranial computerized tomography (cCT) without CM showed “abnormal contrast enhancement at subarachnoid liquoral spaces levels”, then at 72 h cCT control was normal. The patient was discharged on the seventh day with perioperative lacunar amnesia persisting at this time. Herein, we sought a possible relationship between neurotoxic effect of CM and TGA in a patient emotionally stressed, even if the CM dose was given as a normal clinical range.展开更多
目的 观察计算机断层扫描(computed tomography,CT)引导下硬膜外粘连闭合松解器治疗腰椎手术失败综合征(failed back surgery syndrome,FBSS)的临床疗效及安全性。方法 选取解放军总医院第三医学中心骨科和康复医学科就诊的FBSS患者80例...目的 观察计算机断层扫描(computed tomography,CT)引导下硬膜外粘连闭合松解器治疗腰椎手术失败综合征(failed back surgery syndrome,FBSS)的临床疗效及安全性。方法 选取解放军总医院第三医学中心骨科和康复医学科就诊的FBSS患者80例,根据随机数字表法分为治疗组和对照组,各40例。治疗组采用硬膜外粘连闭合松解器治疗,1次/周,第2次治疗在第1次治疗2周后进行,共治疗2次;对照组予低频治疗,每次30 min,3次/周,共治疗2周,治疗结束后对比两组疗效。治疗前和治疗后1个月、3个月、6个月采用视觉模拟评分法(visual analogue scale,VAS)、改良Oswestry功能障碍指数(Oswestry disability index,ODI)和健康调查简表(the MOS item short from health survey,SF-36)进行评定,同时填写不良事件表进行安全性研究。结果 治疗6个月后,两组患者VAS评分及ODI评分均较治疗前降低(P<0.01),且治疗组显著优于对照组(P<0.01);对于SF-36评分,治疗6个月后,除对照组情感职能维度外,两组各维度均较治疗前显著改善(P<0.01),且在生理功能维度治疗组改善优于对照组(P<0.05),其余各维度治疗组改善显著优于对照组(P<0.01)。研究过程中仅治疗组发生晕针1例,两组均无严重不良反应发生(P>0.05)。结论 CT引导下硬膜外粘连闭合松解器治疗FBSS疗效确切,不良事件发生率低,可显著减轻FBSS患者疼痛程度,改善功能障碍。展开更多
目的:评价神经妥乐平治疗腰椎术后综合症的疗效。方法:将36例腰椎术后综合症患者随机分为两组,治疗组应用神经妥乐平,共21例;对照组应用基础治疗,共15例。应用NRC评价患者疼痛程度、Oswestry D isability Index(OD I)量表评估患者生活质...目的:评价神经妥乐平治疗腰椎术后综合症的疗效。方法:将36例腰椎术后综合症患者随机分为两组,治疗组应用神经妥乐平,共21例;对照组应用基础治疗,共15例。应用NRC评价患者疼痛程度、Oswestry D isability Index(OD I)量表评估患者生活质量,分别在治疗前、治疗后2个月、6个月及12个月进行。结果:治疗组在治疗后2个月NRC、OD I评分优于对照组(P<0.05)。治疗后6个月及12个月治疗组与对照组之间无明显差别。结论:神经妥乐平治疗腰椎术后综合症有效,可以短期内缓解疼痛、麻木等不适,减轻活动障碍,提高患者生活质量,其疗效维持至少2个月。展开更多
目的探讨腰椎手术失败综合征(FBSS)的治疗方法。方法采用经皮椎间盘内注射臭氧(40μg/m l)10 m l治疗FBSS患者47例,观察术后腰痛缓解情况和功能变化。结果随访12个月,腰痛视觉模拟评分(VAS)为(3.4±0.77)分,显著低于术前[(7.7±...目的探讨腰椎手术失败综合征(FBSS)的治疗方法。方法采用经皮椎间盘内注射臭氧(40μg/m l)10 m l治疗FBSS患者47例,观察术后腰痛缓解情况和功能变化。结果随访12个月,腰痛视觉模拟评分(VAS)为(3.4±0.77)分,显著低于术前[(7.7±0.61)分],P<0.05;术后功能为优10例,良18例,差19例,优良率为59.6%;5例术后1 d出现头痛,经脱水和卧床休息后均在24 h内缓解。结论经皮椎间盘内注射臭氧治疗FBSS效果确切,但应采取措施减少头痛等不良反应。展开更多
