"Only Spinal Fixation" as Surgical Treatment of Cervical Myelopathy Related to Ossified Posterior Longitudinal Ligament: Review of 52 Cases.

2020

Background Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is a hyperostotic condition resulting in a progressive narrowing of the spinal canal and subsequent neurologic deficits. Although systemic and local factors in combination with genetic abnormality have been considered in its etiopathogenesis, OPLL remains a poorly understood pathology. Surgical management of OPLL and the choice of the most appropriate treatment are still controversial issues. Here the authors report a series of OPLL-affected patients treated by “only-fixation” technique. Methods Between June 2012 and June 2019, 52 patients having OPLL were treated by a surgical strategy involving only spinal fixation with…

Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy: When and Why the Cervical Corpectomy?

2020

Background: Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a degenerative disease that represents the most common spinal cord disorder in adults. The best treatment option has remained controversial. We performed a prospective study to evaluate the clinical, radiographic, and neurophysiologic outcomes for anterior cervical corpectomy in the treatment of CSM. Methods: From January 2011 to January 2017, 60 patients with CSM were prospectively enrolled in the present study. The patients were divided according to the modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association scale (mJOA) score into 2 groups: group A, patients with mild to moderate CSM (mJOA score ≥13); and group B, patients with severe myelopathy (mJ…

Diagnostic Challenges and Surgical Strategies in Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament. Case Study

2021

W artykule przedstawiono przypadek pacjentki cierpiącej z powodu mielopatii szyjnej wynikającej z nierozpoznanego przez wiele lat skostnienia więzadła podłużnego tylnego (OPLL – ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament) występującego w obrębie szyjnego odcinka kręgosłupa. W pracy, poza przedstawieniem przypadku klinicznego, zaprezentowano także patofizjologię, objawy, metody diagnostyki oraz leczenia tego bardzo rzadkiego w populacji europejskiej schorzenia.
