Abstract

Spinal cord injury without a radiographic evidence of trauma (SCIWORA) is more frequently encountered in the pediatric age group, especially in cervical spinal cord. The case presented here has a rare picture of this type observed in adults rarely. The case developed a neurological deficit as a result of an accident involving a heavy substance fall on his neck and back junction. Conventional graphs, cranial and cervical tomographies taken in the acute period did not reveal any pathology that could explain the existing clinical picture. Myelomalacia was determined at C7-T1 level following cervicothoracic spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Based on his existing neurological picture (ASIA B) and MRI findings, the patient was given a diagnosis of SCIWORET (Spinal Cord Injury Without Radiographic Evidence of Trauma). Following the rehabilitation program, the patient’s neurological level improved to ASIA D level. He became dischargeable with a left knee-ankle-foot orthosis and a walker support. SCIWORET should be born in mind also in adults with a neurological deficit but without any bone and ligamentous damage determined, and MRI should be utilized in the diagnosis. Keeping in mind that the prognosis is good, early rehabilitation program should be started.

Özet

Travmanın radyografik kanıtı olmaksızın spinal kord yaralanması (SCIWORA) daha yaygın olarak pediatrik yaş grubunda özellikle servikal omurgada oluşmaktadır. Sunulan olgunun özelliği, erişkinlerde nadir görülen bu tabloya sahip olmasıdır. Boyun ve sırt kavşağına ağır cisim düşmesi sonucu nörolojik defisit gelişen olgunun akut dönemde çekilen konvansiyonel grafilerinde, kraniyal ve servikal tomografilerinde mevcut klinik tabloyu açıklayacak bir patoloji saptanmadı. Servikotorakal spinal magnetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) sonucunda C7-T1 düzeyinde myelomalazi saptandı. Hastaya, mevcut nörolojik tablosu (ASIA B) ve MRG bulguları ile SCIWORET (Spinal Cord Injury Without Radiographic Evidence of Trauma) tanısı konuldu. Rehabilitasyon programı sonunda hastanın nörolojik seviyesi ASIA D düzeyine ilerledi. Hasta sol kısa yürüme cihazı ve walker desteği ile ambule duruma geldi. Nörolojik defisiti olan ancak kemik ve ligamentöz hasarın saptanamadığı erişkin olgularda da SCIWORET akla gelmeli ve tanıda MRG’den faydalanılmalıdır. Prognozun iyi olduğu akılda tutularak erken rehabilitasyon programına başlanılmalıdır.
