Abstract

We studied relationships between oculomotor test results and the site of lesion in the data set containing patient cases with operated cerebello-pontine angle tumour, operated hemangioblastoma, infarction of cerebello-brainstem or Meniere's disease and control subjects. Several classification models were generated by decision tree induction to find parameter combinations which are efficient in classification. The studied data were characterised by missing values and scarcity of example cases. This study suggested that decision tree induction can be a useful method even in problematic real world classification tasks. Models generated by decision tree induction and evaluated by an expert physician may give information that is beneficial for research.

Cerebellar and brainstem infarction as a complication of CT-guided transforaminal cervical nerve root block.

A 60-year-old man with a 4-year history of intractable neck pain and radicular pain in the C5 nerve root distribution presented to our department for a CT-guided transforaminal left C5 nerve root block. He had had a similar procedure on the right 2 months previously, and had significant improvement of his symptoms with considerable pain relief. On this occasion he was again accepted for the procedure after the risks and potential complications had been explained. Under CT guidance, a 25G spinal needle was introduced and after confirmation of the position of the needle, steroid was injected. Immediately the patient became unresponsive, and later developed a MR-proven infarct affecting the left vertebral artery (VA) territory. This is the first report of a major complication of a cervical root injection under CT guidance reported in the literature. We present this case report and the literature review of the potential complications of this procedure.
