This is a report of a patient who developed thoracic cystic myelopathy immediately following an otherwise successful decompression operation for spondylotic stenosis secondary to osteophyte formation of the thoracic spinal canal. As this case shows, thoracic laminectomy is not without risks, and cystic myelopathy is a potential complication that should be borne in mind when surgery for spondylosis is being planned. Cavitation of the spinal cord may be associated with trauma secondary to extramedullary cord compression.
这是一份关于一名患者的报告，该患者在因胸椎椎管骨赘形成继发的脊髓型颈椎病进行减压手术成功后，立即出现了胸椎囊性脊髓病。正如该病例所示，胸椎椎板切除术并非没有风险，囊性脊髓病是在计划进行脊髓型颈椎病手术时应牢记的潜在并发症。脊髓空洞可能与髓外脊髓压迫继发的创伤有关。
