Management of cervical polyradiculopathy through multisegmental laminoforaminotomies

Cervical arthroplasty for myelopathy adjacent to previous multisegmental fusion.

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the use of cervical arthroplasty for the treatment of degenerative cervical pathology. In its relative infancy, the applications for this technique are still being explored. In this report, we present the use of cervical arthroplasty in the treatment of progressive cervical myelopathy due to adjacent segment disease related to previous mult...

Laparoscopic Fertility Sparing Management of Cervical Cancer

Multisegmental Stability

There is a growing body of evidence to strongly support the use of labile surfaces in training and rehabilitating the neuro-musculo-skeletal system1. Most of this evidence supports the notion that labile surface exercises stimulate the activation of muscular contraction strategies originating from segmental and multi-segmental spinal reflexes and reactions. Local stabilization muscles primarily...

Treatment Experiences and Management Outcomes for Skipped Multisegmental Spinal Tuberculosis.

China ranks second among the 22 countries with the highest burden of tuberculosis. The goals of this study were to evaluate the clinical outcomes of treatment of skipped multisegmental spinal tuberculosis and to investigate the selection strategy for the optimal procedure based on focal characteristics. From March 1999 to December 2013, 24 patients with skipped multisegmental spinal tuberculosi...

Chronic immune sensory polyradiculopathy

Background: Chronic inflammatory neuropathies can present with a sensory ataxia due to involvement of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) or sensory nerves. Selective inflammatory involvement of sensory nerve roots proximal to the DRG has been postulated. Methods: The authors identified 15 patients with a sensory syndrome and normal nerve conduction studies. Sensory nerve root involvement was suggested b...
