Bilateral Medial Medullary Infarction Accompanied by Cerebral Watershed Infarction: A case report by Jingmin Zhao et al. |
Published: 2020 Apr
Issue: 14(4) :: Pages: 1-7
| Abstract: Bilateral medial medullary infarction is a rare stroke subtype, and its diagnosis has become possible by brain magnetic resonance imaging. In this report, we describe a case in which acute bilateral medial medullary infarction accompanied by cerebral watershed infarction was clearly identified by diffusion-weighted imaging, and we discuss the mechanisms of bilateral medial medullary infarction accompanied by cerebral watershed infarction.

Delayed subclavian vein stent perforation causing adjacent arterial pseudoaneurysm formation in a patient with granulomatosis with polyangiitis by Alexander SM Tan et al. |
Published: 2020 Apr
Issue: 14(4) :: Pages: 8-20
| Abstract: Stenting is necessary when vascular patency is not adequately achieved with angioplasty alone. Common causes of pseudoaneurysms are iatrogenic and traumatic. We describe a case of a perforated left subclavian vein Gianturco stent causing a pseudoaneurysm of the left common carotid artery in a patient with granulomatosis with polyangiitis, detected 8 years after stent insertion.

Improvements in Cervical Spinal Canal Diameter and Neck Disability Following Correction of Cervical Lordosis and Cervical Spondylolistheses Using Chiropractic BioPhysics Technique: A Case Series by Curtis Fedorchuk et al. |
Published: 2020 Apr
Issue: 14(4) :: Pages: 21-37
| Abstract: Cervical spondylolisthesis indicates instability of the spine and can lead to pain, radiculopathy, myelopathy and vertebral artery stenosis. Currently degenerative cervical spondylolisthesis is a wait-and-watch condition with no treatment guidelines. A literature review and discussion will be provided. 8 females presented with neck pain, disability, and history of motor vehicle collision. Radiographs revealed abnormal cervical alignment, spinal canal narrowing, and spondylolistheses. After 30 sessions of Chiropractic BioPhysics® care over 12 weeks, patients reported improved symptoms and disabilities. Radiographs revealed improvements in cervical alignment, spondylolistheses, and spinal canal diameter. Motor vehicle collision may cause instability and abnormal alignment of the cervical spine leading to cervical spondylolisthesis. Improving spinal alignment may be an effective treatment to reduce vertebral subluxation and cervical spondylolistheses and improve neck disability as a result of improved spinal alignment.
