Abstract

A case of thoracic flexion myelopathy is reported in a 36-year-old man. The patient had a history of gradually progressing transverse thoracic myelopathy. Conventional myelography in the neutral position failed to reveal cord compression; however, a severe block of the dye column was evident on studies in the flexed position. Excellent recovery from this condition was obtained with posterolateral fusion of the thoracic spine in the neutral position.

摘要

本文报道了一例36岁男性的胸椎屈曲型脊髓病。该患者有逐渐进展的横贯性胸椎脊髓病病史。中立位常规脊髓造影未显示脊髓受压；然而，在屈曲位检查时，造影剂柱严重受阻明显。通过胸椎中立位后外侧融合术，该患者病情得到了显著恢复。
