4.Pseudarthrosis of the Cervical Spine: Risk Factors, Diagnosis and Management.
Asian Spine Journal 2016;10(4):776-786
Cervical myelopathy and radiculopathy are common pathologies that often improve with spinal decompression and fusion. Postoperative complications include pseudarthrosis, which can be challenging to diagnose and manage. We reviewed the literature with regard to risk factors, diagnosis, controversies, and management of cervical pseudarthrosis.

6.Cervical Kyphosis

Cervical kyphosis is a rare condition that can cause significant functional disability and myelopathy. Deciding the appropriate treatment for such deformities is challenging for the surgeon. Patients often present with axial neck pain, and it is not uncommon to find coexisting radiculopathy or myelopathy. The optimal approach for addressing this complex issue remains controversial. A comprehensive surgical plan based on knowledge of the pathology and biomechanics is important for kyphosis correction. Here we reviewed diagnoses of the cervical spine along with the literature pertaining to various approaches and management of cervical spine.

7.Acute Paraplegia Secondary to Spontaneous Hematomyelia: A case report.
Journal of the Korean Academy of Rehabilitation Medicine 2000;24(1):162-166
Spontaneous hematomyelia (intramedullary spinal hematoma) is an uncommon event of an unknown cause. A 35-year-old man experienced sudden paresthesia over the chest, radiating pain, and motor weakness followed by complete paraplegia appeared after 1 hour. The preoperative diagnosis was made by magnetic resonance imaging which revealed hemorrhages from T4 to T9 cord segments. The selective spinal angiography, CSF study, blood laboratory, and pathology revealed no apparent cause for the hemorrhages.

A 50-year-old male presented with acutely progressed paraplegia. His magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated two well-demarcated components with opposite signals in one cystic lesion between the T1- and T2-weighted images at the T1 spine level. The patient showed immediately improved neurological symptoms after surgical intervention and the histopathological exam was compatible with a neurenteric cyst. On operation, two different viscous drainages from the cyst were confirmed. A unique similarity of image findings was found from a review of the pertinent literature. The common findings of spinal neurenteric cyst include an isointense or mildly hyperintense signal relative to cerebrospinal fluid for both T1- and T2-weighted images. However, albeit rarer, the signals of some part of the cyst could change into brightly hyperintensity on T1-weighted images and hypointensity on T2-weighted images due to the differing sedimentation of the more viscous contents in the cyst.

10.Diagnostic usefulness and limitations of the sural nerve biopsy.
Yonsei Medical Journal 1990;31(1):1-26
In recent years, the sural nerve biopsy has become a commonly performed procedure in the diagnostic work-up of patients with peripheral neuropathy. This paper reviews the diagnostic usefulness and limitations of this procedure. Based on 385 sural nerve biopsies, we found clinically helpful or relevant information in 45% of cases. In 24% of cases, specific diagnoses were obtained, among which vasculitic neuropathy was most common.
