The idiopathic myelocele at the level of thoracic spine: case report and literature review
Abstract
The clinical case of surgical treatment of idiopathic myelocele at the level of thoracic spine is presented. The idiopathic myelocele is the rare pathology, which leads to gradual progression of myelopathy. The clinical signs of this disease in all previously described observations are similar however the pathogenesis and etiology are not clear until the present. The good functional outcome in terms of elimination of spinal cord compression and regress of neurological deficit was achieved in the most clinical cases surgically treated.
