Anterior surgery of the lower cervical spine.

The authors discuss the advantages and the limits of using an anterior approach to lower cervical spine; indications, surgical access, the use of bone graft for stabilization, and postoperative treatment are described. Based on their experience, the authors believe the Cloward method, involving decompression-fusion by autologous cylindrical dowel bone graft, to be an ideal method in the treatment of cases of soft central disc hernia, hard hernia, the outcome of progressive instability, and in inflammatory and neo-plastic lesions of the vertebral body.

[A case of maternal and neonatal infection due to Listeria monocytogenes].

A Listeria monocytogenes infection may develop during pregnancy by eating sausages, fresh meats and milk products derived from infected animals. According to the period in which the infection starts, the pregnancy outcome can be abortion or pre-term or at term delivery. The infection can pass from mother to fetus and can cause a serious neonatal sepsis. Listeriosis in pregnant women can be asymptomatic or may present as an influenza-like syndrome. This case report, along with other published cases, demonstrates how hard is to make a correct diagnosis of listeriosis during pregnancy. Since this is mainly related to the aspecificity of symptoms, it is very important to have a high suspicion and to take a careful patient history.
