Abstract

Although intrathecal administration ofbaclofen has been proved to be a powerful treatment for severe spinal spasticity cases where oral antispasmodic medications and physical therapy fail, it's safety still remains controversial. This method has some serious risks and complications. Here we report a complete T8 paraplegic patient who had undergone an intrathecal pump administration and had menengitis and syringomyelia.

Özet

Oral antispastik ilaçlar ve fiziksel tedavi yöntemlerinin yetersiz kaldığı şiddetli spinal kaynaklı spastisitesi olan hastalarda baklofenin intratekal olarak uygulanmasının etkin bir tedavi yöntemi olduğu kanıtlanmış olsa da güvenirliği tartışmalıdır. Bu teknik bazı ciddi potansiyel risk ve komplikasyonlar içermektedir. Burada intratekal baklofen pompası uygulamasını takiben menenjit ve siringomiyeli gelişen T8 komplet paraplejili bir hastamızı sunuyoruz.
