SURGICAL TREATMENT OF CERVICAL MYELOPATHY ASSOCIATED WITH POLYSEGMENTAL DEGENERATIVE SPINAL STENOSIS
https://doi.org/10.14531/ss2014.4.124-127
Abstract
A case of surgery for cervical myelopathy in a patient with extended spinal canal stenosis is presented. Two-stage surgical treatment included spinal cord decompression and screw-based and intervertebral stabilization. Surgery resulted in eliminated compression of the spinal canal neurovascular structures, stable fixation, and improved neurological status.
