İnme Kliniğiyle Başvuran Erişkin SCIWORA: Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Radyografi veya tomografide vertebral bir patoloji olmaksızın görülen omurilik yaralanması (SCIWORA) pediatrik popülasyonda yaygındır. Ancak yetişkinlerde şimdiye kadar çok az vaka bildirilmiştir ve çok nadir görülen bir durumdur. Manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG), son yıllarda artan kullanılabilirliği ve kullanımı ile SCIWORA tanısı için tercih edilen bir inceleme haline gelmiştir. Burada servikal omuriliği tutan ve fokal nörolojik özelliklerle karakterize bir erişkin SCIWORA olgusu sunulmaktadır.

Adult SCIWORA Presented With Stroke Clinic: A Case Report

Abstract

Spinal cord injury without vertebral abnormalities (SCIWORA) accompanying radiography and tomography is common in the pediatric population. However, very few cases have been reported so far in adults and it is a very rare condition. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become a preferred investigation for the diagnosis of SCIWORA with its increased availability and utilization in recent years. Here we report a case of adult SCIWORA involving cervical spinal cord, characterized by focal neurologic features.
