Posterior fixation of C1/2 has become more commonly performed to treat retro-odontoid pseudotumor (ROP). Here, we report a 60-year-old female with cervical dystonia (CD), whose ROP regressed and whose quadriparesis improved after a series of cervical intramuscular botulinum injections.
A 60-year-old female with 30 years of CD newly presented with a progressive quadriparesis. When the MRI showed ROP compression the cervical spinal cord, she refused surgery and underwent multiple cervical muscular botulinum injections over the next 2 years. Following these injections, the patient's quadriparesis improved as the ROP regressed on subsequent MR studies.
Over a 2-year period, multiple cervical botulinum injections caused regression of a retro-odontoid cervical pseudotumor improvement in the patient's quadriparesis.
C1/2后路固定术已越来越常用于治疗齿突后假性肿瘤(ROP)。在此,我们报告一名60岁患有颈部肌张力障碍(CD)的女性,其ROP在一系列颈部肌肉注射肉毒杆菌毒素后消退,四肢瘫痪症状改善。
一名患有30年CD的60岁女性新近出现进行性四肢瘫痪。当MRI显示ROP压迫颈脊髓时,她拒绝手术,并在接下来的2年里接受了多次颈部肌肉肉毒杆菌毒素注射。在这些注射后,随着ROP在后续MR研究中消退,患者的四肢瘫痪症状得到改善。
在2年的时间里,多次颈部肉毒杆菌毒素注射导致齿突后颈部假性肿瘤消退,患者的四肢瘫痪症状得到改善。
