Spinal kord stimülatörü takılan hastada gelişen pulmoner emboli

Spinal kord stimülasyonunun (SCS) birçok kronik ağrı sendromunun tedavisinde etkili bir yöntem olduğu gösterilmiştir. Ayrıca SCS ile ağrı palyasyonunun sağlanması immobilizasyon ve immobilizasyon ile ilişkili komplikasyonları azaltabilir. Biz bu olguda postlaminektomi sendromu nedeniyle spinal kord stimülatörü uygulanan hastada deneme dönemi sırasında görülen pulmoner emboliye yaklaşımımızı sunduk. SCS hastalarında pulmoner emboli şüphesi akılda bulundurulması gereken bir durumdur. Ayrıca SCS ile ağrı palyasyonunun sağlanması immobilizasyon ve immobilizasyon ile ilişkili komplikasyonları azaltabilir

Pulmonary embolism occurring in a patient treated with spinal cord stimulation

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has been shown to be an effective method for treating many chronic pain syndromes. In addition, providing pain relief with SCS can reduce immobilization and complications related to immobilization. The present case describes pulmonary embolism (PE) that occurred in patient being treated with SCS for post-laminectomy syndrome. The possibility of PE must be kept in mind while treating patients with SCS
