Official Title: Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound for The Evaluation of Intraoperative Spinal Cord Injury Following Surgical Decompression of a Chronically Compressed Spinal Cord
Brief Summary:
Spinal cord injury following posterior decompression in patients suffering from chronic, cervicothoracic spinal cord compression is a known complication with multiple etiologies.Currently, intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) remains the gold standard for predicting and preventing post-operative deficits from these procedures.However, there is a paucity in the field of spine surgery for further, non-invasive biomarkers that can help detect and prognosticate the degree of spinal cord injury…
