A case of occipitocervical fusion in myeloma
Abstract
Posterior fusion (from occiput to C4) with an iliac graft on the right side and methyl methacrylate on the left side was performed in a 49-year-old woman with an osteolytic destruction of the second vertebral body caused by multiple myeloma. Thirty months after the fusion, the patient remains free from pain, although there is progression of the osteolytic lesion, now extending to the third vertebral body.
