From: Incidence and risk factors of neurological complications during posterior vertebral column resection to correct severe post-tubercular kyphosis with late-onset neurological deficits: case series and review of the literature

Fig. 2

Causes of late-onset neurological deficits according to the lesions. a, b Preoperative magnetic resonance image (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scanning demonstrate severe angular kyphosis, “buckling collapse” from T9 to L3, intervertebral disc herniation and calcified ligamentum flavum at T8/9, and severe spinal cord compression. c, d Preoperative MRI and CT scanning demonstrate severe angular kyphosis from T8 to T10, calcified ligamentum flavum at T7/8 and T10/11, and severe spinal cord compression. e, f Preoperative MRI and CT scanning demonstrate severe angular kyphosis, “buckling collapse” from T10 to L2, intervertebral disc herniation and calcified ligamentum flavum at T10/11, and severe spinal cord compression. g, h Preoperative MRI and CT scanning demonstrate severe angular kyphosis, “buckling collapse” from T8 to L2, calcified ligamentum flavum at T10/11, and severe spinal cord compression. i, j Preoperative MRI and CT scanning demonstrate severe angular kyphosis, intervertebral disc herniation and calcified ligamentum flavum at T9/10, and severe spinal cord compression. *Calcified ligamentum flavum at the segments adjacent to the angular kyphosis; #disc herniation at the segments adjacent to the angular kyphosis
