Abstract

In cervical cord lesions posterior laminectomy not only is inefficacious but may even worsen unstable spine lesions. In dorsal lesions, which rarely determine spine instability, a posterior decompression may be useful only in incomplete cord lesions and when a persistent compression of nervous structures can be evidenced.
