Cervical spinal cord infarction after surgery for a pineal region choriocarcinoma in the sitting position: case report.

abstract：:Dorsal root entry zone lesions are effective in the control of intractable pain in several types of spinal cord injuries. Traditionally, these lesions have been made with the radiofrequency technique. This is effective, but has the drawback of being laborious, and there is a significant incidence of permanent weakness...
