 10-SEPTEMBER-2025  AMNEH MAHMOUD ABDALLAH 70 YEARS  SEVERE CERVICAL CANAL STENOSIS C3-4 WITH QUADRIPARESIS AND HYPALGESIA.

 

Anamnesis

bullet

The patient was operated by me 27-July-2010 for severe cervical canal stenosis C4-5, C5-6, C6-7 with huge extrusion C5-6.  Then the patient was operated by me 23-October-2011 for LCS L3-4 and L4-5. The patient came 09-July-2023 complaining of neck and left upper limb pain and right knee effusion and investigations did not reveal after investigations any serious problem and was treated conservatively. She then came 20-August-2025 walking with help of 2 persons complaining of tetraparesis and hypalgesia below C2 with numbness of four limbs for the last 6 months. She was operated 40 days ago elsewhere for right CTS without improvement.

On examination, The patient has mild neck pain when looking up and down with Lhermitte's sign. The power of the SCMMs and trapezius muscles are normal. All the muscles including the deltoids and below are weak (4/5)-(-4/5) weak below both sides with hypalgesia from the forearms down below  with more dense sensation loss of the right leg below the knee.

MRI of the cervical spine was performed the same day showing severe cervical canal stenosis C3-4 with compression of the spinal cord and malacia of the spinal cord at this level. Dynamic studies ruled out overmobility the the previously fused C4-5,5-6 and C6-7 in place. The elements of compression were more from behind at C3-4. Lab investigation and CXR were normal.

bullet

Midline incision in the back of the neck with exposure of C2-3-4. Step-wise drilling at the groove of the lateral masses, so as to make the bony parts transparent, so as to elevate of the C3 and C4 laminae in one piece, avoiding during that any compression to the dura. Smooth post-operative recovery. She was sent to the ward.

Comments

The patient have OPLL and the progression is protected, that it took several years to escalate the clinical manifestations to mandate surgery.

In this case the major compression was from behind that posterior approach was mandatory.
