Cervical myelopathy by C1 posterior tubercle impingement in a patient with DISH.

30 Aug 2009 STUDY DESIGN: A unique case of a patient with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) associated with C1 posterior tubercle impingement resulting in spinal canal stenosis and cervical myelopathy. OBJECTIVE: To describe an uncommon mechanism ... Read more...

Tetraplegia following parathyroidectomy in two long-term haemodialysis patients.

30 Aug 2009 We report two cases of postoperative iatrogenic tetraparesis, which occurred in different hospitals after surgery for parathyroidectomy. Both patients were on long-term haemodialysis. The prolonged neck extension usually required by this procedure ... Read more...

Preoperative patient selection with magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and electroencephalography: does the test predict outcome after cervical surgery?

30 Jul 2009 OBJECT: The objective of this systematic review was to use evidence-based medicine to assess whether preoperative imaging or electromyography (EMG) predicts surgical outcomes in patients undergoing cervical surgery. METHODS: The National Library of ... Read more...
