Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common condition affecting aroun...

BACKGROUND The authors report the case of a 53-year-old woman suffering from thoracic myelopathy caused by intraspinal dissemination of hemangiopericytoma. In literature, hemangiopericytoma is commonly found as an intracranial lesion, and often hematogenously metastasizes to the bone or liver; however, intradural spinal dissemination is extremely rare. CASE DESCRIPTION The patient presented w...

OBJECTIVE To report the efficacy of conservative treatment with cervical traction and immobilisation with a Halo vest, in two consecutive rheumatoid arthritis patients with progressive cervical myelopathy caused by subaxial subluxation. METHODS Description of neurological symptoms and signs and findings in plain radiography (PR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the cervical spine befor...

Calcification and ossification of the ligamentum flavum or of the posterior longitudinal ligament are causes of compressive myelopathy, more frequent in the lower thoracic levels, and extremely rare in Western populations. Surgical decompression is the only therapy, but the disease is usually progressive, and its recurrence after surgery is common. Inflammatory mediators might play a role in th...

We report a case with compression myelopathy due to proliferative changes around the C2 pars defects without instability. A 69-year-old man presented with progressive clumsy hands and spastic gait. Plain radiographs showed bilateral spondylolysis (pars defects) at C2 and fusion between C2 and C3 spinous processes. Dynamic views revealed mobility through the pars defects, but there was no appare...

Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament (OPLL) is a condition caused by new bone developing in the posterior longitudinal ligament within the spinal canal. OPLL is a common cause of myelopathy in East Asian countries. Here, we report a case with OPLL in thoracic and lumbar spine in Kermanshah, West of Iran.

OBJECTIVES (1) To compare clinical outcome and symptomatology of rheumatoid cervical myelopathy between patients managed conservatively and surgically. (2) To determine if surgical outcome has improved since the series published from this unit in 1987. (3) To examine the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of cervical myelopathy. METHODS Patients undergoing MRI of the ce...
