RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The scalpel sign is a radiological finding observed on sagittal magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography myelography corresponding to an indentation in the dorsal aspect of the spinal cord resembling a surgical scalpel blade. It is said to be a pathognomonic imaging discovery linked to dorsal arachnoid webs. However, other spine-related conditions may mimic dorsal arachnoid webs on magnetic resonance imaging, such as spinal arachnoid cysts or ventral spinal cord herniation, leading to misdiagnosis. METHODS: A retrospective review was performed of cases involving 3 different diagnoses at our institution in the last 5 years that shared in common the characteristic focal dorsal indentation of the spinal cord. RESULTS: Of 7 cases identified, all but 1 were treated and confirmed intraoperatively. All lesions were located at the dorsal spinal cord. Magnetic resonance imaging was the study of choice for evaluation. Clinical manifestations included back pain and lower extremity numbness and weakness together with compressive myelopathy signs and urinary symptoms. Mean follow-up was 16.8 months with satisfactory postoperative results. CONCLUSIONS: Isolated radiological presentation of the scalpel sign is not sufficient to distinguish between dorsal arachnoid webs, arachnoid cysts, and ventral herniation of the spine. However, awareness of its importance is relevant for accurate curative surgical planning.

RESUMO

Objetivo La laminoplastia «open door» es una técnica ampliamente utilizada para el tratamiento de la mielopatía cervical multinivel. A pesar de presentar resultados funcionales y radiológicos satisfactorios a largo plazo, la parálisis de C5 postoperatoria continúa siendo una complicación severa e invalidante con una incidencia variable en la literatura. El objetivo del presente trabajo es describir e ilustrar la técnica quirúrgica paso a paso con el agregado de la foraminotomía unilateral C4-5, y evaluar los resultados obtenidos hasta el momento, haciendo especial énfasis en la parálisis de C5. Material y métodos Estudio retrospectivo de 20 pacientes intervenidos por mielopatía cervical mediante la técnica de laminoplastia cervical «extendida» con foraminotomía unilateral, para la cual se detallan los pasos. Resultados Entre enero de 2013 y abril de 2019 se trataron 20 pacientes con «laminoplastia cervical extendida». Un solo paciente agregó déficit de C5 postoperatorio (5%). El porcentaje de recuperación del Japanese Orthopaedic Association score (JOA modificado) postoperatorio fue del 54,5%, siendo similar a lo observado en otras series. Conclusión Se desarrolló e ilustró la técnica de laminoplastia cervical «extendida» con foraminotomía unilateral de C4-5 para la prevención de la parálisis de C5. Se analizaron los resultados, y se obtuvo una incidencia de parálisis de C5 coincidente con el menor porcentaje reportado en la literatura. Sería de utilidad un estudio prospectivo y aleatorizado para valorar el rol de la foraminotomía preventiva C4-5 unilateral (AU)


Objective The open-door laminoplasty technique is widely used in the treatment of multilevel cervical myelopathy. Despite the satisfactory functional and radiological results of this technique, postoperative C5 palsy is still a severe and disabling complication with a variable incidence in the literature. The objective of this article is to describe and demonstrate the surgical technique step by step with the addition of unilateral C4-5 foraminotomy and to evaluate the results obtained to date, with special emphasis on C5 palsy. Material and methods Retrospective study of 20 patients operated on for cervical myelopathy using the “extended” laminoplasty technique, which is described step by step. Results Between January 2013 and April 2019, 20 patients were operated on using the extended laminoplasty technique. Only one patient (5%) presented postoperative C5 palsy. The postoperative recovery rate of the modified JOA (Japanese Orthopaedic Association) score was 54.5%, similar to that observed in other series. Conclusion The extended cervical laminoplasty technique with unilateral C4-5 foraminotomy was developed and demonstrated for the prevention of C5 palsy. The results were analysed and an incidence of C5 palsy coinciding with the lowest percentage reported in the literature was obtained. A prospective randomised study would be useful to assess the role of preventive unilateral C4-5 foraminotomy (AU)
