| Abstract | A 74-year-old man developed bilateral lower limb spastic paresis. He was diagnosed with thoracic spondylotic myelopathy presumably caused by mechanical stress that was generated in the intervertebral space (T1-T2) between a vertebral bone bridge (C5-T1) due to diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis after anterior fixation of the lower cervical spine and a vertebral bone bridge (T2-T7) due to diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis in the upper thoracic spine. Treatment included posterior decompression (T1-T2 laminectomy) and percutaneous pedicle screw fixation at the C7-T4 level. Six months after surgery, the patient could walk with a cane, and the vertebral bodies T1-T2 were bridged without bone grafting. For thoracic spondylotic myelopathy associated with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, decompression and percutaneous pedicle screw fixation are effective therapies. |
