Decompressive laminectomies with clinical improvement but persistent myelographic blocks

L F Hirsh

    Acta Neurochirurgica
    |January 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Surgical decompression for spinal cord compression can lead to clinical improvement even with persistent subarachnoid blocks on myelography. Recognizing this finding is crucial to prevent unnecessary repeat surgeries for metastatic epidural neoplasms.
