Treatment considerations for cervical and cervicothoracic spondylodiscitis associated with esophageal fistula due to cancer history or accidental injury: a 9-patient case series
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Acta Neurochirurgica"
DOI: 10.1007/s00701-019-03985-3
Abstract: The combination of cervical spondylodiscitis and esophageal fistula is rare but life-threatening. Due to both the rarity of these conditions’ coincidence and the complexity and heterogeneity of individual cases, there is no optimal treatment or… read more here.
