A Delayed Postoperative C5 Palsy due to Spinal Cord Lesion: A Typical Clinical Presentation but Unusual Imaging Findings

Figure 3

Intraoperative spinal cord monitoring. Although there was no worsening of left deltoid and left AH CMAPs during the 1st (a, b) and the 2nd (c, d), each operation was observed and low amplitude of left deltoid (c) and preserved amplitude of left AH CMAPs (d) in the 2nd operation compared to the 1st operation (a, b) were recorded, which means segmental C5 palsy occurred after the postoperative period of the 1st operation.
