摘要
Neurologic complications resulting from surgery for 384 cases of cervical myelopathy (cervical soft disc herniation, spondylosis, ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament) were reviewed. Surgical procedures performed included 134 anterior interbody fusions (Cloward or Robinson-Smith technique), 70 subtotal corpectomies with strut bone graft, 85 laminectomies, and 95 laminoplasties. Twenty-one patients (5.5%) sustained neurologic deterioration related to surgery. The deterioration was classified into two types on the basis of the neurologic signs observed: deterioration of spinal cord function or of nerve root function. Manifestations of the former varied from weakness of the hand to tetraparesis. Paralysis of the deltoid and biceps brachii muscles was an exclusive feature of deterioration in the nerve root group. Causes of this paralysis included malalignment of the spine related to graft complications, and a tethering effect on the nerve root following major shifting of the spinal cord after decompression. The causes of deterioration of the cord function included spinal cord injury during surgery, malalignment of the spine associated with graft complication, and epidural hematoma.
