Clinical practice
In May 2026, Dmitry Gavrilin took part in the work of the multidisciplinary team at Riga East Clinical University Hospital that successfully performed a complex neurosurgical procedure on a patient with an extremely rare spinal cord pathology.
The condition involved entrapment of the spinal cord in a defect of its membrane and progressive neurological impairment. Only a few hundred similar cases have been described in the medical literature.
While preparing the treatment, the specialists studied international clinical experience and consulted foreign experts. The operation was performed using microsurgical techniques and intraoperative neuromonitoring.
This clinical case reflects the doctor's experience in diagnosing and treating complex spinal cord pathologies.
