Modified Oblique Corpectomy for Upper Thoracic Spine

2020
Surgical treatment of the upper thoracic spinal lesion is rare and presents unique challenges. Anterior approach of upper thoracic lesion is difficult and potentially dangerous and anterior decompression of upper thoracic spine can cause instability due to more narrow and thinner vertebrae.

Lateral parascapular extrapleural approach to the upper thoracic spine

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1991
✓ The upper thoracic vertebrae are difficult to approach surgically because of the narrowing of the thoracic inlet, the proximity of the brachial plexus, and the parascapular shoulder musculature. A novel lateral parascapular extrapleural approach to the upper thoracic vertebrae is described.

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery to the upper thoracic spine

Surgical Endoscopy, 1999
The standard open technique for exposure of the upper thoracic spine, T1-T4, usually requires a difficult thoracotomy. From November 1, 1995 to June 30, 1997, eight patients underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic spinal surgery in our institute to treat their upper thoracic spinal lesions endoscopically.A new approach, the so-called "extended ...

Sectional Neuroanatomy of the Upper Thoracic Spine and Chest

Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 2005
This is the second in a series of articles on the spine. The first reviewed the anatomy of the neck. Subsequent articles are planned to cover the anatomy of the middle and lower thoracic spine. Procedures and trauma of the upper thoracic spine and chest are fraught with potentially serious complications.

Thoracic Kyphosis Results in Photopenia in the Upper Thoracic and Lumbar Spine

Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 2000
A man with dorsal kyphosis and a lung mass from large-cell carcinoma underwent bone scintigraphy. The bone images showed abruptly decreased uptake in the upper thoracic and lumbar spine. These findings mimic the results seen after irradiation of lung cancer, resulting in decreased uptake in the upper thoracic spine, and after irradiation of renal ...

A transsternal biclavicular approach to the upper anterior thoracic spine

Surgical Neurology, 1986
A transsternal biclavicular approach to the anterior face of the upper thoracic spine (T-1 to T-4) is described, and the advantages, disadvantages, and indications of the technique are discussed.

Chance Fracture of the Upper Thoracic Spine in a Child

European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 2008
We report on a three-year-old girl who fell accidentally from the fourth floor. She suffered multiple trauma, including severe head injury, unstable T2-T3 Chance fracture, pneumothorax with lung contusion and serial rib fractures on the left side, liver laceration, splenic injury and fracture of the sacral bone on the right side.

Biomechanical analysis of the upper thoracic spine after decompressive procedures

The Spine Journal, 2014
Decompressive procedures such as laminectomy, facetectomy, and costotransversectomy are routinely performed for various pathologies in the thoracic spine. The thoracic spine is unique, in part, because of the sternocostovertebral articulations that provide additional strength to the region relative to the cervical and lumbar spines.

Surgical approach to anterior compression in the upper thoracic spine

Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, 2002
Object. The anterior upper thoracic spine (T1–3) is difficult to access because most neurosurgeons are unfamiliar with the anatomy. This study was performed to evaluate the different surgical options by retrospectively analyzing data on operations performed for anterior upper thoracic compression at the authors' institution. Methods.

Upper thoracic-spine disc degeneration in patients with cervical pain

Skeletal Radiology, 2004
To study the relationship of upper thoracic spine degenerative disc contour changes on MR imaging in patients with neck pain. The relation between upper thoracic and cervical spine degenerative disc disease is not well established.One hundred and fifty-six patients referred with cervical pain were studied. There were 73 women and 77 men with a mean age
