Аннотация
STUDY DESIGN: Two cases of lymphangiomatosis of the spine are presented.
OBJECTIVES: To report two cases of lymphangiomatosis of the spine requiring surgical intervention and to review the literature.
SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Lymphangiomatosis is a rare childhood disease characterized by abnormal lymph tissue at multiple sites. Skeletal and visceral involvement are both common. Prognosis depends on the extent of extraskeletal disease.
METHODS: Two cases of lymphangiomatosis causing neural compression and instability at the cervicothoracic junction are presented. Both patients underwent surgical decompression and stabilization.
RESULTS: One patient died, whereas the other regained full function and activity.
CONCLUSIONS: Surgery is indicated when lymphangiomatosis causes neural compression and instability of the spine. Surgical outcome is strongly influenced by extraskeletal involvement.
