Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy Caused by Single-Level Vertebral Spontaneous Fusion
PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical features, imaging characteristics, surgical options, and clinical outcomes of patients with Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) caused by single-level vertebral spontaneous fusion (SLVSF). METHODS Sixteen consecutive patients with SLVSF who underwent anterior surgery were included in this study and 38 patients with CSM caused by spinal degeneration were enro...

METHODS The National Library of Medicine and Cochrane Database were queried using MeSH headings and keywords relevant to anterior and posterior cervical spine surgery and CSM. The guidelines group...
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 کاملAlternating cervical laminoplasty for cervical spondylotic myelopathy.
We present a novel method of performing an 'open-door' cervical laminoplasty. The complete laminotomy is sited on alternate sides at successive levels, thereby allowing the posterior arch to be elevated to alternate sides. Foraminotomies can be carried out on either side to relieve root compression. The midline structures are preserved. We undertook this procedure in 23 elderly patients with a ...
