Cervical myelopathy from dural substitute.

W S Fisher, E G Six

    Neurosurgery
    |December 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A silicone-coated Dacron graft caused cervical spinal cord compression due to infolding. This case highlights potential complications associated with synthetic dural substitutes used in neurosurgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Spinal Cord Surgery
    • Biomaterials Science

    Background:

    • Synthetic dural substitutes are utilized in various neurosurgical procedures to repair dural defects.
    • Dacron grafts, particularly those with silicone coatings, have been employed as dural substitutes.
    • Potential complications associated with synthetic materials require careful consideration.

    Observation:

    • A case of cervical spinal cord compression was reported.
    • The compression resulted from the infolding of a silicone-coated Dacron graft.
    • This specific complication has not been widely documented.

    Findings:

    • The infolding of the synthetic graft led to mechanical compression of the cervical spinal cord.
    • Histopathological analysis may reveal tissue response to the graft material.

  • Radiological imaging is crucial for diagnosing graft-related complications.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of meticulous surgical technique when implanting synthetic dural substitutes.
    • Awareness of potential graft complications, such as infolding, is critical for neurosurgeons.
    • Further research into the long-term behavior and potential adverse effects of synthetic dural substitutes is warranted.
