| Abstract: | Summary A critical study of 11 cases with neurological complications resulting from damage to the cervical spine during rheumatoid arthritis prompts the authors to reconsider their therapeutic strategy. After recalling the various neurological complications and their mechanisms, they propose an extension of the range of indications for surgical treatment. The limits of this extension are defined according to neurological and radiological criteria and the risks inherent in each method. |
