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

To analyze factors influencing surgical results after microsurgical reconstruction of injured nerves.We report a series of 32 cases of microsurgical nerve reconstruction after traumatizing lesions using nervous autografts. The series comprises 8 reconstructions of radial nerve, 8 of median nerve, 6 of ulnar, and 10 of sciatic nerve. Motor and sensitive deficits have been evaluated preoperatively using a standard grading.A useful sensory recovery has been obtained in radial nerve, as well as in median and ulnar nerve reconstruction. Good results regarding the motor recovery have been obtained in superior limb nerve reconstruction. Sciatic nerve reconstruction showed the worse results.There is a big discrepance between superior limb vs inferior limb results. A more than 10 cm gap has a negative influence on the progression of regenerating axons, especially in median and ulnar nerves.
