ABSTRACT
Cervical spondylosis is a common degenerative disease of the cervical spine affecting the cervical vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs. During parotidectomy, the patient is placed in a supine position with the neck extended and head rotated to the contralateral side. This position could exacerbate pre-existing cervical spondylosis and cause cervical myelopathy. We present a case of postoperative quadriplegia secondary to cervical myelopathy after parotidectomy. A 68-year-old man without symptoms of cervical spondylosis underwent partial parotidectomy for a right parotid mass and subsequently developed quadriplegia 8 hours postoperatively. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed severe cervical myelopathy. Emergency laminoplasty was performed, and steroid therapy was initiated. He showed near-complete recovery six months later.
