  • Title: [Acute post-traumatic tetraparesis: a developmental complication of cervical arthrosis. Physiopathology, clinical study, prognosis. Apropos of 6 cases].
    Author: Colnet G, Chabannes J, Commun C, Rigal MC.
    Journal: Neurochirurgie; 1987; 33(3):201-8. PubMed ID: 3614495.
    Abstract:
    After dealing with the anatomo-pathology of arthrosis, and then the physio-pathology of cervico-arthrotic myelopathy, the authors describe just now six cases of acute post-traumatic tetraplegia happening as a complication of cervical arthrosis. They do insist on the circumstances of that unexpected coming of such neurologic accidents, on their prognosis very often pejorative, on the necessity of a preventive surgical treatment at the stage of cervico-arthrosis myelopathy not very evolved, which is the only one accurate device to avoid the acute decompensation, insisting at last on the functional sequela most often severe of these complications.
