Transoral percutaneous radiofrequency ablation with a steerable needle and cementoplasty under CBCT and infrared augmented reality navigation system guidance for the treatment of a C1 solitary plasmacytoma: A case report
We report a case of a 40-year-old female with a solitary plasmacytoma of the right transverse apophysis of C1 who underwent combined transoral ablation using a curved steerable needle and cementoplasty under CBCT and infra-red augmented reality navigation system. An imaging work-up revealed an osteolytic lesion determining partial collapse of the right lateral mass of C1 and involving the vertebral foramen. After a biopsy, that revealed a solid tissue consistent with plasmacytoma, it was decided to proceed with radiation therapy. Subsequent PET-CT restaging scans showed residual tumors treated with a transoral percutaneous approach, combining ablation and cementoplasty. This report evaluates the benefits of this combined procedure and the transoral approach, focusing on the advantages of steerable devices and navigation systems.
