FUSION OF UPPER AND LOWER SEGMENTS WITH ANTERIOR CERVICAL HEMIVERTEBRAL RESECTION: CASE REPORT
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 2014, Vol 25, Issue 1
Abstract
Hemivertebrae are relatively rarely seen in cervical vertebrae compared to thoracic and lumbar vertebrae. Hemivertebrectomy in the cervical region is more difficult and more complicated than in other regions, due to differences in the anatomical structure. Early diagnosis and treatment of these deformities helps to minimize the risk of surgery and to allow better correction of the deformities. The aim of this case study is to evaluate a 5-year-old patient who had C6 hemivertebral resection and fusion of the upper and lower segments with an anterior approach.
