Abstract:

A brief review of the literature on gunshot wounds of the spine and spinal cord is given. Recently, an increase in the frequency of gunshot spinal cord injuries due to a change in the nature and prevalence of hostilities, the improvement of artillery and small arms systems. The analysis of literature sources revealed a shortage of works demonstrating injuries of the cervical and craniovertebral regions. The presented clinical case shows the possibilities of percutaneous video endoscopic surgical technique for removal of a metal foreign body (fragment) from the spinal canal of the upper cervical spine with symptoms of spinal cord contusion. At the same time, favorable conditions were created for the healing of the postoperative wound and a decrease in the number of possible infectious complications, the stability of the spinal column was not disturbed, and the patient showed regression of neurological disorders in the early period of injury.
