Abstract

Dural ectasia denotes circumferential expansion or dilatation of the dural sac, and has been frequently reported in association with type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF1). The pathogenesis has not been defined, but its correlation with NF1 infers a congenital malformative hypothesis. The neural elements in the dilated sleeve typically are not enlarged or abnormal, nevertheless the enlarged area contain an increased amount of cerebrospinal fluid. The dura in the area of ectasia is extremely thin and fragile, and erodes the surrounding bony structures destabilising the spine and permitting spectacular spinal deformities. We present two cases with lumbosacral dural ectasia, enlargement of the intervertebral foramina and posterior scalloping of vertebral bodies. Neurological examination showed sciatic nerve irritation. As the etiology of this malformation remains uncertain and dysplastic changes of the spine may be intrinsic or secondary controversies remain about optimum treatment. We conclude that patients affected by NF-1 require an accurate neuroradiological study of the whole spine in order to detect possible dural and spinal anomalies. Surgical treatment is indicated only in patients with progressive neurological deterioration. The thin dural sac predisposes to a high morbidity if surgery is undertaken.

Abstract

The authors analyze the results they obtained by percutaneous radiofrequency technique for trigeminal neuralgia. The clinical material consists of 605 cases observed from 1977 to 1986 at their Institute. There was a female preponderance (62%) and an average age of 65 years. Idiopathic, atypical and symptomatic trigeminal neuralgia has been diagnosed respectively in 568, 21 and 16 cases. From 1977 to 1980 the working temperature was above 65 C, thereafter a lower temperature has been employed to coagulate the Gasserian ganglion. The rate of pain relief was 97% for idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia, 75% for symptomatic and 21% for atypical. The loss of facial sensation accounts for 80% of side effects of this procedure in their series. The recurrence of pain was observed in 16% of cases with a follow-up ranging from 2 to 10 years. It is noteworthy that there is a correlation between the coagulation temperature and the rate of recurrence, the higher the former, the lower the latter. The authors compare their results (rate of pain relief, morbidity, mortality, rate of recurrence) with those of major reports in the literature concerning either percutaneous or other surgical procedures (mircosurgical decompression of the trigeminal nerve, glycerol injection into the trigeminal cistern and percutaneous microcompression).
