Herniation of the calcified nucleus pulposus is a rare complication of intervertebral disc calcification in children. Surgical intervention is rarely indicated in the majority of such cases. This paper reports a 12-year-old boy with a calcified nucleus pulposus at C7-T1 which had ruptured into the spinal canal, causing dissociated motor loss. Anterior discectomy and fusion were performed and the patient's muscle weakness markedly improved after surgery.
钙化髓核突出是儿童椎间盘钙化的一种罕见并发症。在大多数此类病例中,很少需要手术干预。本文报告了一名12岁男孩,其C7 - T1节段的钙化髓核破裂进入椎管,导致分离性运动丧失。进行了前路椎间盘切除术和融合术,术后患者的肌肉无力明显改善。
