Cervical Myelopathy: Diagnosis and Surgical Strategies

SurgiColl, 2023
Cervical myelopathy, a condition caused by compression of the spinal cord in the neck, is characterized by an insidious onset with slow clinical deterioration; however, it can have a rapid progression in a subset of patients, culminating in spinal cord ...

Evaluation of spinal cord compression.

, 2021
The spinal cord compression ratio (R) is used to evaluate the magnitude of cord compression. DC2: AP diameter of the spinal cord in the C2 midvertebral body level (mm). D: AP diameter of the spinal cord in the intervertebral disc level (mm) (C2/3-C7/T1).

Geometrical variations in white and gray matter affect the biomechanics of spinal cord injuries more than the arachnoid space

Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2016
Traumatic spinal cord contusions lead to loss of quality of life, but their pathomechanisms are not fully understood. Previous studies have underlined the contribution of the cerebrospinal fluid in spinal cord protection.

The Combination of Separation Surgery and Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) for a Primary Osteosarcoma of the Spine: A Case Report and Literature Review

Clinical Medicine Insights: Case Reports, 2023
Background: Primary spinal osteosarcoma is a rare and intractable disease. Although en bloc resection is favorable for longer survival, it is not always achievable. Separation surgery, a partial resection with circumferential separation to safely deliver

Dynamic Cord Compression Causing Cervical Myelopathy [PDF]

Neurospine, 2019
Due to the highly mobile nature of the cervical spine, and the fact that most magnetic resonance imagings (MRIs) and computed tomography scans are obtained only in one single position, dynamic cord compression can be an elusive diagnosis that is often ...

Omega-3 Fatty Acids Improve Recovery, whereas Omega-6 Fatty Acids Worsen Outcome, after Spinal Cord Injury in the Adult Rat

, 2006
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a cause of major neurological disability, and no satisfactory treatment is currently available. Evidence suggests that polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) could target some of the pathological mechanisms that underlie damage ...

Effect of melatonin on the functional recovery from experimental traumatic compression of the spinal cord

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2013
Spinal cord injury is an extremely severe condition with no available effective therapies. We examined the effect of melatonin on traumatic compression of the spinal cord. Sixty male adult Wistar rats were divided into three groups: sham-operated animals
