STUDY DESIGN Multi-institutional retrospective case series of 8887 patients who underwent anterior cervical spine surgery. OBJECTIVE Anterior decompression from discectomy or corpectomy is not without risk. Surgical morbidity ranges from 9% to 20% and is likely underreported. Little is known of the incidence and effects of rare complications on functional outcomes following anterior spinal su...
Concomitant fungal and bacterial atlanto-axial osteomyelitis in immunocompetent individuals is rare. We report one such patient who underwent transoral anterior decompression and posterior occipital cervical fusion, together with antibiotic and antifungal treatment. At 16-month follow-up, the patient had made a full recovery with solid fusion. Prompt diagnosis requires a high degree of clinical...
AIM To raise the awareness of the appropriate management of unusual clinical presentation of cervical disc herniation. MATERIAL AND METHODS Seven patients with Brown-Sequard syndrome due to cervical disc herniation presented with Brown-Sequard syndrome had been treated surgically as one of them treated with anterior cervical discectomy and three patients treated by anterior cervical discectom...
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Surgery is usually required for treatment of cervical myelopathy to decompress the neural elements, restore lordosis, and stabilize the spine. By addressing these problems, the neurological deterioration may be halted. PURPOSE Multilevel cervical discectomy and fusion offers several advantages over other approaches. The authors describe the technique, discuss the indication...
Direct ventral access to the cervicothoracic spine (C7-T4) poses a technical challenge in spine surgery, given the vital neurovascular structures residing anterior to the cervicothoracic junction (CTJ). The transsternal approach is a feasible surgical option that allows for direct anterior exposure of the lower cervical and upper thoracic vertebrae. Here, the authors report a case of an elderly...
Cervical myelopathy is an uncommon but potentially fatal complication of rheumatoid atlanto-axial subluxation. Computerised myelotomography with three-dimensional reconstruction shows that rheumatoid pannus, together with the odontoid peg, contributes significantly to anterior cervico-medullary compression. These findings were the basis for treatment by transoral anterior decompression and post...
STUDY DESIGN A case report of nontraumatic acute complete paraplegia resulting from cervical disc herniation. OBJECTIVES To describe a rare case of nontraumatic paraplegia resulting from enlargement of a herniated disc in the cervical spine and to outline appropriate management of a patient with severe spinal cord compression secondary to disc herniation with developmental spinal canal stenos...
Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) can help prevent permanent neurological damage during cervical myelopathy surgery. However, injuries occur positioning before A 61-year-old man had symptoms of hypoesthesia and motor weakness due to ossification the posterior longitudinal ligament compressing spinal cord. The surgery involved anterior corpectomy decompression fusion with IONM....
OBJECTIVE To analyze the long-term outcomes of anterior versus posterior approaches for cervical disc herniation. METHODS The records of 6,000 patients who had operations for cervical disc herniation (radiating arm pain and/or motor symptoms involving the upper extremity) and who had been followed for at least 2 years (mean: 7.1 years) were culled from the world literature and included in thi...
