Breakthrough Cases

A 51-year-old lady with left arm pain more than neck pain of 10 years duration, with BMI 44 and a short neck nearly the chin touching the chest, was diagnosed with OPLL C3-6 with myelopathy and fixed kyphosis of 20°. MRI showed cord signal changes at C5, and CT  confirmed OPLL C3 -6 with high probability of intradural mass ( double density sign). Conventional wisdom (K line, kyphosis, anterior pathology etc.) dictated towards an anterior surgery, but possibility of dural laceration (intradural OPLL mass), with potential for other complications (cord / trachea / esophageal compression by pseudomeningole, meningitis, spinal cord ...

A 51-year-old lady with left arm pain more than neck pain of 10 years duration, with BMI 44 and a short neck nearly the chin touching the chest, was diagnosed with OPLL C3-6 with myelopathy and fixed kyphosis of 20°. MRI showed cord signal changes at C5, and CT  confirmed OPLL C3 -6 with high probability of intradural mass ( double density sign). Conventional wisdom (K line, kyphosis, anterior pathology etc.) dictated towards an anterior surgery, but possibility of dural laceration (intradural OPLL mass), with potential for other complications (cord / trachea / esophageal compression by pseudomeningole, meningitis, spinal cord hernia etc.) were discussed in detail and a decission was taken to decompress and fix from the posterior aspect. The pre-op CT angio showed B/L high-riding vertebral arteries, which precluded the  C2 screw. 
 

Per operatively, the patient was positioned prone with the head clamped and a posterior exposure done. LM screw entry points were made from C3-6, followed by grade 1 facet resection at C3-4, C4-5, and C5-6 bilaterally. Further lordosis was achieved with manipulation of the head with the head clamp and closing the osteotomy gaps. LM screws (C3-6), a laminar screw at C2, and a pedicle screw at T1 & 2 were inserted and connected with rods. 
 

C3-6 laminectomy was done, and the surgical site was closed after bone graft mixed with vancomycin was applied laterally.
 

Postoperative x-ray showed adequate lordosis (approximately 10 degrees) attainment.

The patient reported complete pain relief in the left shoulder and arm postoperatively.
