C5 palsy after cervical spine decompression surgery.
Degenerative cervical spondylosis and cervical compression myelopathy are common causes of morbidity in middle-aged and elderly individuals. Clinical presentations include progressive spastic quadriparesis, sensory loss at or below the neck, and urinary incontinence. Although nonoperative treatment is acceptable in mild nonprogressive myelopathy, surgical decompression or stabilization is indic...
متن کاملThe role of iatrogenic foraminal stenosis from lordotic correction in the development of C5 palsy after posterior laminectomy and fusion
BACKGROUND Post-operative C5 nerve root palsy is a known complication following cervical spine surgery. Although several theories have been proposed, there remains no consensus as to the etiology of the palsies. Multiple pre-operative radiographic measures have been assessed for utility in predicting palsy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate published radiographic parameters as well as sp...
متن کاملIncidence and Risk Factors of C5 Palsy following Posterior Cervical Decompression: A Systematic Review
BACKGROUND C5 palsy is a serious but poorly understood complication after posterior cervical decompression that could lead to muscle weakness, brachialgia and numbness of the upper limbs. The incidence of C5 palsy varies greatly between studies. The risk factors are inconclusive and even conflicting. OBJECT To perform a systematic review on the incidence and risk factors of C5 palsy after pos...
متن کاملPredicting Unilateral Postlaminectomy C5 Palsy by Measuring C5 Exit Foramen Area on Preoperative Computed Tomography
Background. Postoperative C5 motor palsy is known as a common complication not only after cervical laminectomy but also after anterior discectomy. There is no consensus to verify any of the proposed mechanisms of C5 palsy following posterior cervical decompression. The authors of this article have found that C5 palsy is more common among patients with smaller C5 root exit foramen area. The purp...
متن کاملA Case of Successful Foraminotomy for Severe Bilateral C5 Palsy following Posterior Decompression and Fusion Surgery for Cervical Ossification of Posterior Longitudinal Ligament
We report a very rare (5~7%) case of bilateral C5 palsy after cervical surgery. A 71-year-old male patient with cervical ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) with foraminal stenosis at bilateral C4/5 underwent posterior decompression and fusion surgery. After surgery, muscle weakness in his both deltoid and biceps was detected and gradually deteriorated to complete paralysis. ...
