Case description

This video highlights the pronounced excursion of the cervical spinal cord that occurs with patient ventilation during the cervical microinjection procedure. The dorsal root entry zone is just lateral to (below) the microinjection needle. The rigid outer cannula is withdrawn. The microinjection needle and flange are in position, flush to the spinal cord surface.

This video has been taken from Intraspinal Stem Cell Transplantation in ALS: A Phase I Trial, Cervical Microinjection and Final Surgical Safety Outcomes, an article appearing that can be read here http://bit.ly/19Lgn6j . It was submitted by corresponding author Nicholas Boulis, MD, from the Department of Neurosurgery at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.
