We present what is to our knowledge the first reported case of thoracic disc herniation leading to venous congestive myelopathy (VCM), which was clinically and radiographically suggestive of Foix-Alajouanine syndrome (angiodysgenetic necrotizing myelopathy). In addition, we review current concepts in evaluating the etiology of VCM and discuss indications for surgery.
我们呈现了据我们所知首例导致静脉充血性脊髓病(VCM)的胸椎间盘突出症,其临床表现和影像学均提示为 Foix-Alajouanine 综合征(血管发育不良性坏死性脊髓病)。此外,我们还回顾了目前评估 VCM 病因的概念,并讨论了手术指征。
