颈椎前路手术中相关神经损伤并发症的常见原因及治疗

目的 回顾颈椎前路手术中相关神经损伤的常见原因及治疗方法.方法 2008年1月-2009年12月手术治疗859例颈椎病、颈椎后纵韧带骨化症及颈椎外伤行颈椎前路手术患者,对术后出现脊髓损伤症状加重及相关神经损伤的7例患者的临床资料进行回顾性分析.结果 859例患者中共5例发生脊髓损伤,发生率为0.58%;1例发生喉返神经损伤,发生率为0.12%;1例发生喉上神经损伤,发生率为0.12%.术后血肿发生脊髓损伤4例,经过清除血肿、甲基强的松龙等药物、高压氧及时治疗,均逐渐恢复至正常;术后发生脊髓损伤症状加重1例,经气管切开、呼吸机支持治疗及激素、高压氧治疗后脊髓损伤症状逐渐恢复至原有水平.术后发生喉返神经、喉上神经损伤患者2例经过激素、脱水等药物保守治疗,术后3个月内均恢复至正常.结论 颈椎病、颈椎后纵韧带骨化症及颈椎外伤患者行颈椎前路手术中均可能发生脊髓损伤及相关神经损伤,如能注意预防和及时治疗,预后较好.

Abstract：

Objective To review the relevant causes for and treatment of nerve injuries in the anterior cervical surgery. Methods From January 2008 to December 2009,859 cages of cervical spondylosis,ossification of cervical posterior longitudinal ligament and cervical spine trauma were treated by anterior cervical surgery.This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of seven cases who were with worsened symptoms of spinal cord injury and related nerve injury. Results Of 859 cases,five cases(0.58%)were with spinal cord injury,one(0.12%)with recurrent laryngeal nerve injury and one (0.12%)with laryngeal nerve injury.Hematoma occurred in four cases after surgery caused spinal cord injury and all the four patients recovered to normal after removal of the hematoma and timely treatment with mythylprednisolone and hyperbaric oxygen.Cervical spine trauma was worsened in one patient after the anterior cervical surgery.The patient restored to its original level of spinal cord gradually through some measures such as tracheotomy,ventilator support,hormone therapy and hyperbaric oxygen treatment.Laryngeal nerve injuries in two cases recovered to normal after conservative treatment with hormone,dehydration and other drugs within three months after surgery. Conclusions Anterior cervical surgery of cervical spondylosis,ossification of cervical posterior longitudinal ligament and cervical spine trauma are likely to induce the related nerve damage.The good prognosis can be obtained under timely prevention and treatment.
