  • 49세 여자 환자가 경부 추간판 탈출증의 치료를 받기위하여 전신 마취하에 우측의 추궁 절제술과 전방 추체간 접합술을 받고난 즉시 회복실에서 부터 양측 상지에 작열통이 발생하였다. 환자는 양측 상지에 전형적인 작열통의 증상인 allodynia, 통각 과민(hyperalgesia), 통각 이상 과민증 (hyperpathia)을 보였으며 특히 우측 상지에는 심한 부종을 보이고 있었다. 환자는 일련의 성상 신경절 차단과 disposable $Daymate^{TM}$ portable elastomeric infusor를 이용한 연속적 상완신경총 차단으로 작열통이 완치되었다.

  • Tubular retractor system as a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) technique has many advantages over other conventional MIS techniques. It offers direct visualization of the operative field, anatomical familiarity to spine surgeons, and minimizing tissue trauma. With technical advancement, many spinal pathologies are being treated using this system. Namely, herniated discs, lumbar and cervical stenosis, synovial cysts, lumbar instability, trauma, and even some intraspinal tumors have all been treated through tubular retractor system. Flexible arm and easy change of the tube direction are particularly useful in contralateral spinal decompression from an ipsilateral approach. Careful attention to surgical technique through narrow space will ensure that complications are minimized and will provide improved outcomes. However, understanding detailed anatomies and keeping precise surgical orientation are essential for this technique. Authors present the technical feasibility and initial results of use a tubular retractor system as a minimally invasive technique for variaties of spinal disorders with a review of literature.

  • Sympathetic dysfunction is one of the possible complications of anterior spine surgery; however, it has been underestimated as a cause of complications. We report two successful experiences of treating severe dysesthetic pain occurring after anterior spine surgery, by performing a sympathetic block. The first patient experienced a burning and stabbing pain in the contralateral upper extremity of approach side used in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, and underwent a stellate ganglion block with a significant relief of his pain. The second patient complained of a cold sensation and severe unexpected pain in the lower extremity of the contralateral side after anterior lumbar interbody fusion and was treated with lumbar sympathetic block. We aimed to describe sympathetically maintained pain as one of the important causes of early postoperative pain and the treatment option chosen for these cases in detail.

  • 경추간판탈출증 환자에서 척수조술을 위해 요추천자를 시행한 후에 갑자기 양하지마비가 발생한 1례를 보고 한다. 척추종괴환자에서 요추천자후 합병증으로 나타나는 운동마비는 요추천자후 1~4일째에 서서히 오는 경우가 일반적이며, 수시간내에 급성으로 하지마비를 나타내는 경우는 매우 드물어 현재까지 6례 정도만 보고되고 있을뿐이며 그 원인질환은 대부분 척수종양이다. 경추간판탈출증 환자에서 척수조술을 위해 요추천자를 시행한 후에 갑자기 양하지마비가 발생한 임상보고례는 현재까지 없다. 이러한 합병증을 막기위해서는 척수장애증상을 보이는 경추간판탈출증 환자에게 척수조술대신에 자기공명촬을 시행함이 현명하리라 본다. 이러한 합병증이 올 수 있는 기전과 예방방법에 대해 고찰하다.
