Çoğu olguda omurilik yaralanmaları manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) ile tespit edilebilir. Bu yazıda, SCIWORA'lı yaşlı bir kadında tetraplejik omurilik hasarının geliştiği atipik bir olgu sunulmaktadır. Yetmiş üç yaşındaki tetraplejik bir kadın hastadan MRG çekildi ve spinal kordun herhangi bir bölümünde spesifik bir lezyon bulunamadı. Öte yandan, hastanın … Show more

“…Although it is not regularly used in an obvious tetraplegic patient and the benefits of IONM in giving a positive predictive value remains controversial, the experience of using IONM in our center leads us to regularly use this modality in cervical surgery as this modality often give a positive predictive value in our patients. Besides, the evidence of transient tetraplegia following CCI in pre-existing stenosis in literature leads us to detect the improvement as early as possible [12] , [14] .…”
