Cord shape and measurements in cervical spondylotic myelopathy and radiculopathy.
A combined clinical myelographic and computed myelographic study was performed in 30 patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy; computed myelography was also performed in 16 control patients. Good correlation was found between degree of deformity of cross-sectional shapes of the cord and the outcome of surgery, and measurements of anteroposterior diameter and area of the cord seemed helpful...
متن کاملCervical spondylotic myelopathy.
Cervical spondylosis is a condition in which there is progressive degeneration of the intervertebral joints of the cervical spine. It is widespread throughout the adult population such that is has been estimated that on the basis of plain X-rays 50% over the age of 50 years and 75 % over the age of 65 suffer from the condition. It is indeed fortunate that only a small proportion suffer from the...
متن کاملPathogenesis of cervical spondylotic myelopathy.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether either of two mechanical theories predicts the topographic pattern of neuropathology in cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). The compression theory states that the spinal cord is compressed between a spondylotic bar anteriorly and the ligamenta flava posteriorly. The dentate tension theory states that the spinal cord is pulled laterally by the dentate ligaments,...
متن کاملIdiopathic dystonia and cervical spondylotic myelopathy.
Cervical myelopathy developed in two patients with idiopathic torsion dystonia. There were marked spondylotic changes in both patients, probably attributable to the incessant dystonic movements of the neck. Previous cervical spine surgery may have exacerbated the myelopathy in one of the patients. Cervical myelopathy complicating idiopathic dystonia must be distinguished from other causes of ne...
متن کامل[Laminoplasty for cervical spondylotic myelopathy].
Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a common condition. Uninstrumented laminectomy may be complicated by postoperative instability, whereas anterior or posterior decompression with fusion may be associated with stiffness and adjacent segment disease. Cervical laminoplasty, initially oriented towards pediatric patients and ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, becomes an inte...
