Hi, at 10 weeks old my son was exposed to CJD via surgical instruments. He had a tethered spinal cord and 9 dissectors and 1 forceps were traced back to the CJD confirmed patient. I have now found out her surgery was a POSTERIOR FOSSA CRANIECTOMY AND WHICH C1 AND C2 VERTEBRAE WERE FUSED TO EACH OTHER AND TO THE BASE OF THE SKULL. My question is:
Would any of that procedure have beem Intradural? I have been told that there was CSF transfer but not told how. So .. would her Dura or another high infectivity tissue been in contact with the dissectors?
Any information gladly recieved.
