The moment when the patient tells you how tremendous the improvement is after surgery is priceless, right ? In my office these moments always give me an extra heartbeat. Thank you for the bonus video !
WOW,,, He is gracious. Two things occur to me. One is that he did not complain of pain with such significant stenosis of the cord. The other is that these types of interviews if correlated with images and surgical findings could be very instructive to surgeons and other care providers. And of course the absolute joy you must feel to be able to help someone so significantly.
Hopefully he is much better than before today. I’m looking at the same thing as he went through. Broke my neck and back in 93. I am a welder/ fabricator and it’s impossible to continue to the work I’ve been doing for almost 40 years
I was born with cervical stenosis and have had 2 fusions and 1 decompression, now bedridden anticipating the 4th. I never understood why I don't know where my hands are and it's more than just that., I feel it contributes to my balance or lack thereof, rather. Last week, I was able to drive, now I am in bed just exhausted. Great video and thank you 🙏.
Hello, I am curious about how you are doing now? I will be having my 5 cervical surgery in the last 11 years soon, but the first involving the lamina. I'm a little nervous about this one, the others I was not. Not sure why I am feeling this way before this one. Sidenote- I still have the original shoulder pain that I started with 11 years ago, I'm hoping (again) that I'll get some relief this one. I hope you're dong better!
As a patient myself doing research on the subject, your patient has such a long OPLL, from the back seems to be the best option. I am wondering if the OPLL would get thicker as time goes by
For about three years, both my hands have been badly scarred. Feeling off balance when walking lately. When the MRI was done, the neck part was Opll. There are 5 MM groth. Can it be cured without surgery !
I’m 56 n have KF Syndrome bad. My Doctor passed away at 43 n haven’t found another one that comes close to knowing what he knew about KF Syndrome. I’m in Baton Rouge, This looks like what I need.have all my test CT MRI N MUCH MORE. no surgery as of now just pain management.its hurts bad 24/7 for 12 years tired of meds. Ps. It’s way worse than this one your showing

Thank you so much Dr.Antoniades. It is tremendous help to learn spinal MRI

Hi Doc, this surgery was done 6 years ago. Any updates on his opll build up? Is it thickening?

i lifted chair incorrectly now my body and head spins in circles and rocks back n forth rapid eye movement dizziness what does this mean
i saw that Famotidine can be used as a treatment for opll ?
What? It makes nonsense whatsoever that an H2 blocker could be used as treatment for OPLL.
@@infectdiseaseepidemiology2599 there is also a lab study from japan online to view
What is opll?
ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament.
How is this gentleman today?
