Structural Joints: Cartilaginous Joints01:17

Structural Joints: Cartilaginous Joints

2.1K
As the name indicates, at a cartilaginous joint, the adjacent bones are united by cartilage, a tough but flexible type of connective tissue. Unlike synovial joints, these types of joints lack a joint cavity and involve bones joined together by either hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage.
There are two types of cartilaginous joints:
Synchondrosis
A synchondrosis ("joined by cartilage") is a cartilaginous joint where bones are connected by hyaline cartilage. Synchondrosis may be temporary...

Spinal Cord: Gross Anatomy

2.5K
The spinal cord resides within the protective confines of the vertebral column. It is the main pathway for information traveling between the brain and the body. It plays a fundamental role in nearly all bodily functions, from simple reflexes to complex motor movements. The spinal cord begins at the medulla oblongata at the base of the brainstem and extends downward, terminating at the conus medullaris near the first and second lumbar vertebrae. The spinal cord's length in adults is...

Cranial and Spinal Meninges

1.2K
The cranial and spinal meninges are complex protective structures surrounding the central nervous system (CNS), consisting of the brain and spinal cord. These meninges consist of the dura mater, the arachnoid mater, and the pia mater. They protect the CNS, provide structural support, and aid in circulating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Cranial Meninges
These meningeal layers cover the cranium. The dura mater is the outermost layer of cranial meninges. It is a thick and durable membrane of dense...

General Structure of a Vertebra01:30

General Structure of a Vertebra

2.5K
A typical vertebra, with the exception of the sacrum and coccyx, consists of a body, a vertebral arch, and seven different projections termed processes. The anterior portion of the vertebrae, the body, supports about half the body’s weight. The vertebral bodies progressively increase in size and thickness from the cervical region to the lumbar region of the vertebral column. The intervertebral discs present between the bodies of adjacent vertebrae firmly unites them, forming a continuous...

The Spinal Cord01:54

The Spinal Cord

29.1K
The spinal cord is the body’s major nerve tract of the central nervous system, communicating afferent sensory information from the periphery to the brain and efferent motor information from the brain to the body. The human spinal cord extends from the hole at the base of the skull, or foramen magnum, to the level of the first or second lumbar vertebra.

Anatomy of the Brain: Ventricles01:18

Anatomy of the Brain: Ventricles

3.0K
There are hollow fluid-filled cavities known as ventricles deep inside the human brain. There are two lateral ventricles, one in each cerebral hemisphere, and each has three different projections — the anterior, inferior, and posterior horns visible from the lateral side. A thin membrane called the septum pellucidum separates the two lateral ventricles. The slender third ventricle in the diencephalon is connected to each lateral ventricle via a channel called the interventricular foramen.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Spinal Surgery
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Intradural disc herniation (IDDH) is an uncommon spinal condition, representing less than 0.5% of all disc herniations.
  • IDDH predominantly affects the lumbar spine and can cause severe neurological compromise, including cauda equina syndrome.

Observation:

  • A 60-year-old female presented with acute severe lower back pain, lower limb weakness, and urinary retention.
  • MRI revealed a dural-based mass at L3-L4 with significant cauda equina compression and lumbar instability.
  • Surgical exploration initially suggested a meningioma due to adhesions, but histopathology confirmed IDDH.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision of the intradural herniated disc and subsequent spinal fixation were performed.
  • The patient experienced substantial improvement in motor function and reduction in pain post-operatively.
  • Histopathological confirmation was crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering IDDH in the differential diagnosis of spinal masses causing severe neurological deficits.
  • Awareness of IDDH is critical for timely diagnosis and appropriate surgical management.
  • Further research into the pathogenesis and standardized treatment guidelines for IDDH is warranted.
