Increased Retro-Odontoid Soft Tissue Ratio: A Risk Factor for Symptomatic Retro-Odontoid Pseudotumor Following Laminoplasty
This study highlights that a high preoperative RS ratio is a significant risk factor for symptomatic ROP, with a notable increase in O-C2 ROM observed in the ROP group following laminoplasty. These findings suggest that ROP is a progressive condition that may worsen after surgical intervention, particularly in patients with pre-existing retro-odontoid masses.
