Techniques for the ventral correction of postsurgical cervical kyphotic deformity.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:To identify factors predictive of postoperative lower cranial nerve palsy (LCNP) among patients undergoing surgery for vertebral artery (VA)- posteroinferior cerebellar artery (PICA) aneurysms. The natural history of this LCNP is defined, and its effect on postoperative patient course is analyzed. No similar ...
