Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy is an ageing, degenerative spinal condition and a common cause of myelopathy in adults, with the average age presentation being 56 years. This case report was on 63-year man who apparently healthy until he presented grade v Nurick Classification System for Myelopathy. Lhermitte Sign present.

purpose: this study investigated functionality statues and surgical outcome of patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (csm) contains cervical herniated disc (chd) and cervical spinal stenosis (css) based on the japanese orthopedic association cervical myelopathy evaluation questionnaire (joacmeq). methods: this was a prospective clinical study a sample of cases with csm. patient’s functi...

Cranial MRI showed multiple lesions in white matter that were thought to be consistent with multiple sclerosis in two young adults presenting with symptoms of progressive myelopathy. MRI of the cervicothoracic spine around one and two years after onset showed the myelopathy to be due to mid-thoracic tumours. The tumours (an extradural meningioma and intradural neuroma) were resected with comple...

What are the causes of cervical myelopathy? Myelopathy is caused by any pathologic process that interferes with transmission of signals through the spinal cord. In regard to orthopedic surgery, the most common cause of this disease is due to cervical degenerative disc disease putting pressure on the spinal cord in a condition referred to a cervical spondylotic myelopathy. The remaining referenc...

HTLV-I is considered to be a virus of low morbidity, since the principal diseases associated with this viral infection, HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) and adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), are observed in less than 5% of infected individuals. Urinary symptoms are frequent in patients with myelopathy and consist principally of nocturia, frequency, urgenc...

Thoracic myelopathy caused by ossifi cation of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is rare compared to cervical OPLL, even in the Japanese population. However, once myelopathy appears in patients with thoracic OPLL, it is progressive and often leads to serious paraplegia. In such cases, surgical treatment is required because conservative treatment, such as immobilization by a brace, is n...

The degenerative spinal cord disease cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM), and caused by trauma, can result in debilitating symptoms affecting quality of life. This study used acupotomy other Korean medicine treatments (acupuncture, herbal medicine, physical therapy) to improve the CSM myelopathy. visual analog scale, modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association scale (mJOA scale), Nurick grading...

STUDY DESIGN This was a retrospective study. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to study the relationship between prevalence of pyramidal signs and the severity of cervical myelopathy. The study is focused on patients having increased signal intensity in T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Cervical spondylotic myelopathy is the most common cause of spinal cord ...

Study Design Prospective study. Purpose To examine the changes in body sway using stabilometry in patients who underwent cervical laminoplasty for cervical myelopathy. Overview of Literature Although the patients of cervical myelopathy complain body sway there are few report to examine body sway objectively. Methods Patients who received treatment for cervical myelopathy between October 2...

Cervical spondylotic myelopathy can result from degenerative cervical spondylosis, herniated disk material, osteophytes, redundant ligamentum flavum, or ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament. Surgical intervention for multi-level myelopathy aims to decompress the spinal cord and maintain stability of the cervical spine. Laminoplasty was major surgical advancement as laminectomy re...
