Abstract:

Although considerable effort has been made to understand the biomechanical behavior of the adult cervical spine, relatively little information is available on the response of the pediatric cervical spine to external forces. Since significant anatomical differences exist between the adult and pediatric cervical spines, distinct biomechanical responses are expected. The present study quantified the biomechanical responses of human pediatric spines by incorporating their unique developmental anatomical features. One-, three-, and six-year-old cervical spines were simulated using the finite elemen

Abstract:

The authors present 2 cases involving patients who presented with myelopathy. Magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine showed spinal cord signal changes on T2-weighted images without any spinal cord compression. Flexion-extension plain radiographs of the spine showed no instability. Dynamic MR imaging of the cervical spine, however, showed spinal cord compression on extension. Compression of the spinal cord was caused by dynamic anulus bulging and ligamentum flavum buckling. This report emphasizes the need for dynamic MR imaging of the cervical spine for evaluating spinal cord changes

Abstract:

The BIS value may decrease by cerebral hypoperfusion. We report a case in which the BIS value suddenly decreased during cervical spine surgery, which led us to find cervical screws compressing the vertebral arteries. In a 79-year-old man undergoing cervical spine surgery, the BIS suddenly decreased from about 40 to 10-20, about 4 h after the start of surgery. Intraoperative 3-dementional computed tomography indicated that both the two tips of cervical screws inserted in the 6th cervical vertebra were within bilateral transverse foramens. These cervical screws were removed, and the BIS increase

Abstract:

Abstract COMPRESSION OF THE spinal cord by the degenerating cervical spine tends to lead to progressive clinical symptoms over a variable period of time. Surgical decompression can stop this process and lead to recovery of function. The choice of surgical technique depends on what is causing the compression of the spinal cord. This article reviews the symptoms and assessment for cervical spondylotic myelopathy (clinically evident compression of the spinal cord) and discusses the indications for decompression of the spinal cord anteriorly.

First, in the presence of an intact (stable) cervical spine, are there tracheal intubation conditions in which cervical intervertebral motions exceed physiologically normal maximum values? Second, with an intact spine, are there tracheal intubation conditions in which potentially injurious cervical cord strains can occur?

Abstract CERVICAL SPONDYLOSIS IS a result of degenerative changes of the cervical spine. Neurological symptoms of myelopathy result from the narrowing of the spinal canal, causing spinal cord compression. Surgical management of cervical stenosis requires an understanding of the interplay between multiple pathological and biomechanical factors contributing to this disease process. Surgical decompression can be addressed from a ventral, dorsal, or combined approach.

Difficulties in diagnosing cervical spine injuries are well known. The high percentage of diagnostic errors in this group of patients is due to the complex structure of the cervical spine and the variety of its forms. Little attention is paid to so-called mild, uncomplicated cervical trauma, although sufficient evidence has been accumulated to date indicating the real risk of cervical myelopathy in patients who have suffered relatively mild trauma even without radiologically visible damage to bone structures.

Abstract:

Dialysis-related spondyloarthropathy is a rare cause of spinal deformity and cervical myelopathy. Optimal management of cervical spine spondyloarthropathy often requires circumferential reconstructive surgery, because affected patients typically have both the anterior column and the facet joints compromised. The occasional presence of noncontiguous or "skip lesions" adds an additional level of complexity to surgical management, because decompression and fusion in an isolated segment of neural compression can worsen spine deformity by applying increased stress to adjacent cervical spine segment

A 66-year-old male patient presented with progressive paraparesis, pain, and paresthesia in his bilateral T1 dermatomes that had lasted for three weeks. Magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine demonstrated a well-demarcated cystic lesion in the bilateral dorsolateral aspects

Abstract:

Abstract DEGENERATIVE DISEASE OF the cervical spine commonly occurs in the natural process of aging. This can lead to compression of the spinal cord and symptomatic myelopathy. We review the pathophysiological factors that lead to myelopathy and the controversial natural history of untreated myelopathy. Signs and symptoms at presentation, examination findings, differential diagnosis, and diagnostic studies are also discussed.

Abstract:

Calcification of the yellow ligament (CLJ) of the cervical spine is a rare condition, described mainly in Japanese. We report a new case of CLJ of the cervical spine causing cervical myelopathy in a 62-year-old Moroccan patient. The myelopathy was revealed by spastic tetraparesis and posterior cord syndrome. The diagnosis of spinal cord compression was made by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The CT scan showed massive calcification of the yellow ligament at C4-C5 compressing the right posterolateral aspect of the spinal cord. Treatment consisted of laminectomy of C4-C5 with resection of the

Abstract:

Cervical spine involvement commonly occurs in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), especially those with inadequate treatment or severe disease forms. The most common site affected by RA is the atlantoaxial joint, potentially resulting in atlantoaxial instability, with cervical pain and neurological deficits. The second most common site of involvement is the subaxial cervical spine, often with subluxation, resulting in nerve root or spinal cord compression. In this paper, the authors review the most commonly used plain radiographic criteria to diagnose cervical instabilities seen with RA.

IntroductionEmergency management of upper cervical spine injuries often requires cervical spine immobilisation and some critical patients also require airway management. The movement of cervical spine created by tracheal intubation and cervical spine immobilisation can potentially exacerbate cervical spinal cord injury. However, the evidence that previous studies have provided remains unclear, due to lack of a direct measurement technique for dural sac's space during dynamic processes.

Cervical spine decompression, fusion and fixation are required when pathologies like trauma, degeneration, infection or tumor destabilizes the spine or cause compression on neurovascular structures. Many approaches and instrumentation technique have evolved to achieve a stable spine closest to its natural state, preserving the anatomy and the function. Transpedicular approach to cervical spine has been a new addition to the attempt.

Abstract This is the first published report of an amyloidoma localized to the cervical spine. Primary amyloidosis of bone is rare. Only 5 cases involving the spine have been described. We present a 74-year-old man with cervical and occipital radicular pain as the manifestations of an amyloidoma involving the 2nd cervical vertebra. The signs and symptoms of this disease, when localized to the vertebrae, are nonspecific and result from bony destruction and compression of neural structures. Diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion and, ultimately, adequate tissue biopsy for histopathological
