Pisa Syndrome - case reportCitation
Pisa-heilkenni – sjúkratilfelli. 2019, 105(5): 231-235 LæknablaðiðÚtdráttur
Sextíu og sex ára kona með Parkinson-sjúkdóm leitaði til bæklunarlækna vegna erfiðra bakverkja. Konan hafði á skömmum tíma fengið hryggskekkju og göngugeta hennar hafði samtímis skerst. Konan var greind með hryggþröng (spinal stenosis) og hið sjaldgæfa Pisa-heilkenni sem stundum er fylgifiskur Parkinson-sjúkdóms. Í skurðaðgerð var hryggskekkjan rétt af og tveimur árum síðar var konan verkjalaus og göngugeta hennar hafði batnað verulega. Vandamál tengd bakskurðaðgerðum hjá fólki með Parkinson-sjúkdóm eru flókin og mikilvægt er að rétt aðgerð sé framkvæmd frá byrjun. Hér er lýst skurðmeðferð hjá konu með Parkinson-sjúkdóm og Pisa-heilkenni.This case report describes a 66-year old woman with Parkinson´s disease and a subacute onset lateral postural deformity. She experienced severe back pain and reduced walking ability. She was diagnosed with Pisa syndrome and sagittal and coronal imbalance was observed on radiographs. Posterior reconstructive surgery was performed from sacrum to Th10. Post operatively, sagittal and coronal imbalance was improved and maintained at the two year follow-up. The patient remained pain free and improvements in walking ability were sustained. The caveats of spine surgery in Parkinson´s patients are discussed and the importance of goal oriented surgery in terms of improvements in sagittal and coronal balance.
