PURPOSE: We sought to use the fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (fALFF) method to investigate the changes in spontaneous brain activity in CSM patients and their relationships with clinical features. METHODS: We recruited 20 patients with CSM, and 20 healthy controls (HCs) matched for age, sex, and education status. The fALFF method was used to evaluate the altered spontaneous brain activities. The Pearson correlation analysis of fALFF and the clinical features were carried out...

Cervical degenerative myelopathy (CDM) is a cervical spine condition resulting in clinical manifestations of spinal cord compression related to the chronic, non-traumatic, and progressive narrowing of the cervical spinal canal. Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard test to diagnose and assess the severity of CDM. However, the patient is in a neutral and static position during the MRI scan, which may devalue the dynamic factors of CDM, underestimating the risk of spinal cord injury related to cervical spine flexion and extension movements...

Cavernous hemangiomas occur most commonly in the cerebral hemispheres but can involve any part of the neuroaxis, including the spine. Very rare cases of spinal angiomas are associated with a skin lesion in the same metameric segment. This condition, known as segmental neurovascular syndrome or Cobb syndrome, was first described in 1915. We report a rare case of segmental neurovascular syndrome with extensive cervical and thoracic lumbar involvement expressed as peripartum spinal cord compression syndrome. A 37-year-old female with a cutaneous nevus from the C7 dermatome to the L3 dermatome experienced pelvic limb paralysis 48 hours after giving birth to a healthy newborn by cesarean section...

Superficial siderosis is a disease in which hemosiderin is deposited under the leptomeninges and subpial layers of hindbrain structures, e.g., the cerebellum, brainstem, and eighth cranial nerve. The main symptoms of superficial siderosis are cerebellar ataxia, hearing loss, cognitive decline, and myelopathy. The activities of daily living of patients with superficial siderosis are severely impaired due to the progressive symptoms. Here, we report a patient with superficial siderosis whose symptoms deteriorated after lumbar subarachnoid-peritoneal (L-P) shunt surgery...

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Acute idiopathic cervical kyphosis (AICK) represents a rare entity, and its management remains controversial. Preoperative surgical planning and individual decision-making seem necessary. To date, there is a lack of sufficient evidence and clear guidelines. CASE PRESENTATION: A 21-year-old male was referred with a progressive cervical deformity detected 3 months earlier. The patient suffered from severe progressive myelopathy and represented neither neck trauma nor a familial history of similar expected conditions...

OBJECTIVE: This retrospective study was designed to evaluate the incidence and predisposing factors of heterotopic ossification (HO) after cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) with a specific implant at 1 and 2 levels, and to investigate the biomechanical effects related to HO. The study goal was to identify ways to reduce the likelihood of HO formation after surgery. METHODS: The study included patients who underwent only 1- or 2-level CDA with the Baguera C disc between November 2014 and December 2021 at a single medical center...

Degenerative cervical myelopathy is a frequently encountered age-related pathology following compression of the spinal cord. This case report delineates the clinical manifestation of cervical and lumbar myelopathy in a 78-year-old male patient, characterised by chief complaints of difficulty in moving bilateral upper and lower extremities and difficulty in bed mobility. Motor impairment can manifest in three different presentations, which are paraparesis, hemiparesis, or quadriparesis. The motor relearning program incorporating functional electrical stimulation constitutes a rehabilitative approach used for the restoration of motor function...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy (CSM), the most common cause of spinal cord dysfunction globally, is a degenerative disease that results in non-violent, gradual, and long-lasting compression of the cervical spinal cord. The objective of this study was to investigate whether microvascular proliferation could positively affect neural function recovery in experimental cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). METHODS: A total of 60 male adult Sprague-Dawley (SD) were randomly divided into four groups: Control (CON), Compression (COM), Angiostasis (AS), and Angiogenesis (A G),with 15 rats in each group...

BACKGROUND: To date, no shared algorithms with the aim of guiding surgical strategy in complex cases of degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) exist. Our purpose is to present the Cervical Surgical Score (CSS) which could help in identifying complex DCM cases, suggesting a surgical strategy. METHODS: We created the CSS based on multidisciplinary and literature-focused discussions, based on eight parameters including number of levels of cervical pathology and myelopathy, type and predominance of compression and grade of clinical myelopathy...

BACKGROUND: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion surgery (ACDF) is a common technique in treating degenerative cervical spondylosis. This study is to evaluate the changes of cervical muscles after ACDF and analyze the correlation between related muscle changes and clinical efficacy. METHODS: Sixty-five postoperative patients (single-level ACDF) with cervical spondylotic myelopathy from January 2013 to December 2022 were analyzed. The measured parameters include: the axial section of longus colli cross-sectional area (AxCSA), the volume of cervical longus, the ratio of long and short diameter line (RLS), the cervical extensor cross-sectional area (CESA), the vertebral body area (VBA), and the CESA/VBA...

Józef Opara, Martyna Odzimek
Cervical myelopathy is referred to in many ways in the English literature, for example, as cervical spondylotic myelopathy ( CSM) , spondylotic radiculomyelopathy ( SRM ) or degenerative cervical myelopathy ( DCM ). In addition, more frequent occurrences are noted in older adults and to a greater extent in men. The causes of the effects of cervical myelopathy may be the appearance of lesions on the spinal cord, ischemia due to compression of the vertebral artery and repeated micro-injuries during maximal movements-hyperflexion or hyperextension...

BACKGROUND: Primary intramedullary spinal cord lymphoma (PISCL) is an extremely rare condition. Early diagnosis is very difficult due to the nonspecific clinical and imaging findings. A biopsy is essential for a definitive diagnosis, but courage is required to perform the surgery. Here, we present a case of PISCL and suggest useful indicators for accurate diagnosis of this pathological entity. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 70-year-old woman presented with subacute bilateral lower-limb paralysis, disturbance of warm and pain sensations, and vesicorectal disturbance...

STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. OBJECTIVES: With the aging of the Japanese population, patients with athetoid cerebral palsy (ACP) are getting older, and the rate of surgery for CSM is increasing in ACP patients. However, postoperative complications of such surgery among adult patients with ACP have not been reported yet. We investigated postoperative complications of surgery for CSM with ACP and compared them with those of surgery for CSM without ACP using a national inpatient database of Japan...
