Anterior Decompression and Fusion for the Treatment of Cervical Myelopathy Caused by Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament: A Narrative Review [PDF]
Asian Spine Journal, 2023 Occasionally, ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) causes cord compression, resulting in cervical myelopathy. OPLL differs from other causes of cervical spondylotic myelopathy in several ways, and the surgical strategy should be ...

Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Pathophysiology and Current Treatment Strategies [PDF]
Asian Spine Journal, 2020 Chronic compression or ischemia of the spinal cord in the cervical spine causes a clinical syndrome known as cervical myelopathy. Recently, a new term “degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM)” was introduced.

Degenerative cervical myelopathy [PDF]
Current Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine, 2016 Cervical myelopathy is the most common cause of acquired spinal cord compromise. The concept of degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM), defined as symptomatic myelopathy associated with degenerative arthropathic changes in the spine axis, is being introduced. Given its progressive nature, treatment options have to be chosen in a timely manner. Surgical

BMJ, 2018 ### What you need to know A 54 year old man presents with neck stiffness for about a year. He complains of numbness in his fingers and difficulty buttoning up his shirt, which has not improved following surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome. Of late, he has experienced unsteadiness and has started to use a walking stick after sustaining falls.

Vertebral Body Sliding Osteotomy for Cervical Myelopathy With Rigid Kyphosis [PDF]
Neurospine, 2020 Cervical spondylotic myelopathy is surgically demanding when associated with rigid kyphosis. Posterior surgery cannot restore cervical lordosis, and adequate decompression is not possible with rigid kyphosis.

The Journal for Nurse PractitionersAbstract This chapter presents a 32-year-old man who develops progressive sensory loss and weakness following a respiratory illness, ultimately revealing cervical myelopathy. Neurologists initially speculate mycoplasma myelitis, illustrating the risks of premature “fast thinking” instead of a structured diagnostic approach.
