Does multilevel oblique corpectomy for cervical spondylotic myelopathy preserve segmental motion?
The OCC preserves segmental motion in the short-term, however, the tendency towards straightening of the spine, albeit without clinical worsening, warrants serial follow-up imaging to determine whether this motion preservation is long lasting.
NINDS protocol violations are relatively common and are associated with symptomatic cerebral and systemic hemorrhages. When the NINDS protocol is strictly followed, hemorrhage rates in community-based rTPA use are similar to those in the NINDS trial.
