Chance-Type Flexion-Distraction Fracture Of Lumbar Spine, Arshad A. Siddiqui, Ahmad Ali Shah
Section of Neurosurgery
A case of a twenty years old male who had been hit by a van at the lower back, presented two weeks later with complete paraplegia and double incontinence is presented. Radiological imaging revealed shearing of spine with fracture line slicing through the second lumbar (L2) vertebra going across all the three vertebral columns with complete retrolisthesis of upper fragment. He was managed conservatively with immobilization and rehabilitation.
Complete Surgical Excision Of Intramedullary Schwannoma At The Craniovertebral Junction In Neurofibromatosis Type-2, A A. Siddiqui, A A. Shah
Complete Surgical Excision Of Intramedullary Schwannoma At The Craniovertebral Junction In Neurofibromatosis Type-2, A A. Siddiqui, A A. Shah
Section of Neurosurgery
Intramedullary spinal schwannomas are extremely rare. We describe a case of a 13-year-old female who was found to have an intramedullary schwannoma at craniovertebral junction along with incidental bilateral acoustic neuromas, which was excised completely. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a case of intramedullary schwannoma in association with NF-2 located at the craniovertebral junction. The literature has been reviewed with emphasis on radiological imaging, histopathological diagnosis and technique to achieve complete microsurgical excision.

Objective: To analyze the factors contributing to deaths from head trauma by using standardized assessment parameters and to provide a peer-review of head injury deaths with focus on identifying deficiencies and analyzing contributory factors.
Design: Descriptive study.
Place and duration of study: The study was carried out at the Emergency, Aga Khan University Hospital during January 1998 to December 1999.
Subjects and method: One hundred and three patients above the age of 15 years presenting alive to the Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) emergency with head injury were included in this study. Identified deaths data was reviewed by the Hospital …

Extradural Granulocytic Sarcoma Causing Acute Paraparesis, Arshad A. Siddiqui, Naim-Ur Rehman
Section of Neurosurgery
A case of 9 years old female presenting with rapidly progressive paraparesis during remission phase of acute myeloblastic leukemia is reported. Radiological imaging revealed an extradural mass in the upper dorsal spine producing significant cord compression. The patient showed a dramatic neurological recovery after spinal cord decompression and subsequently treated with appropriate chemotherapy and local radiotherapy.
