Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
Background: The common complication of fluorosis is spinal cord compression which occur due to thickening and ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament and ligamentum flavum. The surgical management in spinal cord compression due to fluorosis at multilevel in single sitting is the aim of our study. Material and Method: We are presenting five(5) cases with similar symptoms of cervical/ dorsal or lumbar cord compression causing cervical or dorso-lumbar fluorotic compressive myelopathy. They all belong to Rajasthan which is an endemic region for fluorosis in India managed surgically at multilevel in single sitting .These patients were included in this study . Results: Surgical outcome was based on improvement in examination findings of patients and recovery rate of patients over the period of five(5) months. At five(5) month follow up; sixty percent( 60%) showed excellent outcome and forty percent(40%) showed good outcome. No patient had poor outcome in our study. Conclusion: The spinal cord compressive myelopathy in the fluorotic spine underwent surgical management with multilevel laminectomy at two regions in single sitting showed good to excellent results
