A Case of Spinal Cord Compression Due to Paraspinal Musculature After Cervical Laminectomy.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Only a few cases of spinal cord compression after cervical laminectomy have been reported. CASE DESCRIPTION:We report a case of tetraparesis after executing a C3-C6 anterior and posterior decompression and fusion. Cervical magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a spinal cord compression due to the impingement of the paraspinal muscles through the laminectomy. The patient experienced a spontaneous neurological recovery and the follow-up cervical magnetic resonance imaging showed resolution of the spinal cord compression. CONCLUSIONS:This rare complication should be considered among the others after executing a cervical laminectomy.
