Vertebral body and spinal cord infarction in a pile-driver operator with fibrocartilaginous disc embolism.
We describe the case of a male heavy machinery operator who presented from work with a rapidly evolving spinal cord syndrome. Spinal MRI revealed thoracic vertebral body and cord infarction and evolving mild disc prolapse attributed to fibrocartilaginous disc embolism (FCDE). FCDE should be considered as one of the aetiological mechanisms of acute spinal cord infarction in pile-driver/heavy machinery operators, especially in association with adjacent vertebral body infarction and intervertebral disc prolapse. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) changes may evolve, warranting early follow-up MRI in appropriate cases.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Medicine is aimed at practising physicians in the UK and overseas and has relevance to all those managing or working within the healthcare sector.
Available in print and online, the journal seeks to encourage high standards of medical care by promoting good clinical practice through original research, review and comment. The journal also includes a dedicated continuing medical education (CME) section in each issue. This presents the latest advances in a chosen specialty, with self-assessment questions at the end of each topic enabling CPD accreditation to be acquired.
