Surgical treatment has been described for kyphoscoliosis in the thoracolumbar spine. However, there are few studies describing the consequences of an anterior approach in cervical kyphosis. An anterior approach may not be able to fully decompress the spinal canal and restore the normal curvature of the cervical spine. Therefore, the anterior approach for cervical kyphosis in young children is hard. We describe the first case in an EDS girl with cervical kyphosis who received satisfactory anterior cervical corpectomy decompression and fusion.CASE SUMMARY The chief complaints of a 16-year-old girl with EDS were double upper limb weakness for 7 years and double lower limb walking instability for 2 years.Moreover, the imaging results revealed that the degree of kyphosis from cervical vertebra 2 to 4 accompanying with spinal cord compression was 30°. An anterior cervical corpectomy involving cervical vertebra 3 and a titanium mesh implant were performed with internal fixation. The results at 3 mo after surgery demonstrated that the anterior fusion was solid, and the kyphosis of the cervical spine was corrected. Additionally, the power of all four extremities was significantly improved.CONCLUSION The incidence rate of cervical kyphosis in EDS is rare. The surgical treatment for these patients, especially an anterior approach, is challenging. Therefore, to develop safer and more effective strategies to treat cervical kyphosis in EDS,there is still much work to do.展开更多

文摘目的:分析颈椎前路椎体次全切除植骨融合术(anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion,ACCF)后钛网(titanium mesh cages,TMC)沉降的发生率及其危险因素。方法:回顾性分析北京大学第三医院骨科脊柱组2019年1月~2021年12月期间实施ACCF手术的82例脊髓型颈椎病患者,其中男性44例,女性38例,年龄52.4±10.1岁(34~76岁),随访时间26.6±12.5个月(6~42个月)。根据术后3个月时融合节段高度下降是否超过2.0mm将患者分为沉降组和未沉降组。在术前、术后1d、术后3个月颈椎侧位X线片上测量C2/C7 Cobb角、手术节段Cobb角、椎体间撑开距离、融合节段高度;在术前颈椎CT上测量手术节段近端及远端椎体的CT值,评估骨质疏松情况,记录术前、末次随访的JOA评分,计算JOA评分改善率;将各变量进行单因素分析,将P<0.1的变量及有临床意义的危险因素纳入Logistic回归分析,通过受试者工作特征(receiver operating characteristic,ROC)曲线评价危险因素预测钛网沉降的风险,根据约登指数最大的原则寻找临界点。结果:58例患者(70.7%)发生了钛网沉降。沉降组与未沉降组的性别、年龄、住院时间无统计学差异(P>0.05)。沉降组与未沉降组C2/C7 Cobb角及手术节段Cobb角术后1d较术前均显著增加(P<0.05),术后3个月两组手术节段Cobb角及未沉降组C2/C7 Cobb角较术前均明显增加(P<0.05)。两组同时间点C2/C7 Cobb角及手术节段Cobb角无统计学差异(P>0.05)。沉降组术后椎间撑开距离明显大于未沉降组(3.82±1.93mm vs 2.37±1.98mm,P=0.003)。术后3个月融合节段椎体间高度未沉降组显著大于沉降组(P<0.05)。两组术前近、远端椎体的CT值无统计学差异(近端364.6±102.2HU vs 389.2±102.3HU,P=0.325;远端305.2±82.4HU vs 341.1±84.6HU,P=0.086)。末次随访时两组JOA评分改善率无统计学差异(P=0.442);两组轴性症状发生率无统计学差异(6.9%vs 12.5%,P=0.409)。Logistic回归分析结果显示,椎体间撑开距离的比值比1.496[95%置信区间(1.107,2.022),P=0.009];椎体间撑开距离预测钛网沉降的ROC曲线下面积为0.717,椎体间撑开距离临界值为1.8mm。结论:ACCF术中椎体间过度撑开是钛网沉降的独立危险因素,术中椎体间撑开距离超过1.8mm显著增加钛网沉降的发生风险。
