Degenerative cervical myelopathy: Neuroradiological, neurophysiological and clinical correlations in 27 consecutive cases

• New insight into prognostic factors for recovery of clinical function following posterior decompression for degenerative cervical myelopathy. • An increase of IOM amplitude of at least 50% coupled with preoperative T2-only and diffuse T2 signal changes on MRI is a positive prognostic factors for c...

Descripción
Sumario:• New insight into prognostic factors for recovery of clinical function following posterior decompression for degenerative cervical myelopathy. • An increase of IOM amplitude of at least 50% coupled with preoperative T2-only and diffuse T2 signal changes on MRI is a positive prognostic factors for clinical improvement 6 months after surgery. • Clinical improvement at 6 months follow-up can be expected in patients with T1 hypo intensity if a diffuse border of the lesion on T2 images is present.
