Compressive Myelopathy

Cervical compressive myelopathy commonly occurs due to degeneration or disc herniation. The persons with cervical meylopathy are usually advised for surgical decompression. Person with signs of cervical cord compression was treated with myofacial release and found to be improved in signs as well as the symptoms. Total 34 numbers of similar cases (31 males and 3 females) age ranging from 25 to 61 years were treated by myofascial release of periscapular soft tissue structures over last 2 & ½ years (2017 to 2020) and found to return back to their activities after 6 months of follow up.

Introduction: Transverse Myelitis is an acute, usually monophasic, demyelinating disorder affecting the spinal cord. It is usually thought to be post infectious in origin. It occurs at any age and present with a subacute paraparesis with a sensory level, accompanied by severe pain in the neck or back at the onset. The annual incidence of Transverse Myelitis ranges from 1.34 to 4.60 cases per million. In Ayurveda there is no description of a single disease which can exactly resemble with Transverse Myelitis. It can be correlated with Adhrangghata, which comes under Vatavyadhi. Aim: To study the effect of Panchkarma management with Physiotherapy in Transverse Myelitis and to find out effective Panchkarma management in Transverse Myelitis. Material & Methods: A 30-year-old male patient Vikas Dubey was visited unit OPD 31767 Kayachikitsa Govt. Ayurveda Hospital Bhopal. On 3rd June 2019 presented with Spastic Paraplegia, had involuntary movement in bilateral lower limbs along with moderate pain off and on and irregular bladder bowel movements. The patient was treated with Panchkarma along with Physiotherapy for 76 days. Assessment was done on the basis of symptomatic relief. Observation: The Panchkarma procedures along with physiotherapy yielded improvement in sensory & motor functions of patient. Conclusion: On the basis of result obtained, it can be concluded that Panchkarma along with physiotherapy can be used as effective treatment in management of Transverse Myelitis.

SARS-CoV-2 has wreaked havoc globally and has claimed innumerable lives all over the world. Apart from the characteristic respiratory illness, this disease has been associated with florid extrapulmonary manifestations and complications. A 59-year-old female healthcare worker presented with features of acute-onset non-compressive myelopathy with a sensory level at T10 segment along with high-grade fever for 4 days. MRI of dorsal spine was suggestive of myelitis at T7 vertebral level. She was initiated on injectable steroids and did show some initial signs of recovery. A day later, she developed an acute-onset respiratory failure but could not be revived despite our best efforts. Her nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swab turned out to be positive for SARS-CoV-2 reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). We hereby report a case of acute transverse myelitis with COVID-19 as a probable aetiology.

Compressive Myelopathy

Introduction: Diseases of the spinal cord are called myelopathy. They are frequently devastating. They produce quadriplegia or paraplegia with sensory deficits far beyond the site of damage. Many spinal cord diseases are reversible if recognized and treated at an early stage.Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical presentation and aetiology of myelopathy among the patients attending Rajshahi Medical College Hospital with the help of history, clinical examination and investigations.Methodology: This was a cross-sectional type of descriptive study. A total 44 myelopathic patients were evaluated between January 2009 to December 2009.Result: Out of 44 patients, 33 (75%) were male and 11 (25%) were female (ratio 3:1), mean aged 35 ± 13.9 years (range 13-65 years). Among them 24 (54.5%) patients had paraparesis and 20 (45.5%) patients had quadriparesis. It was observed that majority 33 (75%) of them had compressive type and 11 (25%) patients had non-compressive type of involvement. Out of 33 compressive myelopathy, the commonest cause was cervical spondylotic myelopathy 14 (42.4%) in number. 2nd cause was Pott’s disease 8 (24.2%) in number. Syringomyelia was detected in 5 (11.4%) patients, disc herniation was in 2 (6.1%) patients, schwannoma was in 2 (6.1%) patients, lipoma was in 1 (3%) patient and 1 (3%) patient was metastasis to the vertebra. Out of 11 non-compressive myelopathy, acute transverse myelitis was detected in 9 (81.8%) patients and familial spastic paraplegia in 2 (18.2%) patients.Conclusion: All patients with myelopathy should be investigated for potentially treatable causes.TAJ 2013; 26: 48-52

Objective: The present study was conducted with an objective to identify the etiology of non-traumatic myelopathies of both compressive and non-compressive types with the aid of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods: This retrospective observational cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 patients with a clinical diagnosis of non-traumatic myelopathy belonging to the age group of 15–75 years from August 2018 to July 2020 in the Departments of General Medicine and Radiodiagnosis of MKCG Medical College and Hospital, Berhampur, Odisha. Detailed history, clinical evaluation, laboratory investigations, and findings of MRI spine and brain were compiled. Results were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: Among 100 patients of non-traumatic myelopathy, 65 patients presented with compressive myelopathy and 35 patients with non-compressive myelopathy where 56 patients presented with paraparesis and 44 with quadriparesis. Pott’s spine (n=25, 38.46%) and acute transverse myelitis (ATM) (n=24, 68.57%) were the most common etiologies found in compressive and non-compressive groups, respectively. Conclusion: Pott’s Spine, spondylotic myelopathy, and ATM were the most common etiologies of non-traumatic myelopathy. MRI has proven to be the ultimate imaging modality for their etiological evaluation.

Herein, we report a rare case study of a sarcoidosis presenting with the features of compressive myelopathy. There were multiple extra-dural lesions in the thoracic region. Computerized Tomography (CT) of the chest revealed fibrotic changes with a pleural based nodular lesion in the right lung. The patient underwent laminectomy and partial excision of both the lesions. The histology revealed presence of non-caseating granulomas. The patient made a good recovery following adjuvant medical management with steroid and Methotrexate. Repeat CT scan of the chest also confirmed good resolution in the size of the pleural based nodule.
