Clinical and Imaging Characteristics of Patients with Cervical Compressive Myelopathy Presenting with Unilateral Motor Deficits

Unilateral motor deficits are associated with distinctive spinal cord rotational deformities, including a greater median fissure rotation angle and anterior-aspect rotation angle ratio. CTM is better than MRI for detecting unilateral motor deficits. Future research to improve treatment outcomes should focus on spinal cord circulation assessment using advanced imaging techniques.

Abstract

Unilateral motor deficits are associated with distinctive spinal cord rotational deformities, including a greater median fissure rotation angle and anterior-aspect rotation angle ratio. CTM is better than MRI for detecting unilateral motor deficits. Future research to improve treatment outcomes should focus on spinal cord circulation assessment using advanced imaging techniques.
