Four patients underwent transoral resection of the odontoid with utilization of microsurgical technique and spinal cord monitoring of somatosensory cortical evoked responses. All patients improved following surgery, and no operative morbidity or mortality was encountered. Spinal cord monitoring enhances the safety of the procedure and, reapplied at a later date, detects information of prognostic value.
4例患者采用显微外科技术经口切除齿状突，并进行体感皮层诱发电位脊髓监测。所有患者术后均有改善，未出现手术相关的发病率或死亡率。脊髓监测提高了手术的安全性，在后期再次应用时，可检测到具有预后价值的信息。
