Object: The presence of intramedullary T2 high signal intensity changes in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) indicates the existence of a chronic spinal cord compressive lesion. However, the prognostic significance of signal intensity changes remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of spinal cord T2 signal intensity changes on the outcome after surgery for CSM.

- A 55-year-old woman presented with simultaneous congenital irreducible atlantoaxial dislocation (AAD) and a cervical intramedullary astrocytoma, leading to severe neurological symptoms like spastic quadriparesis and pain.
- Lateral radiographs and MRI confirmed AAD and the presence of a tumor in the cervical spine, prompting surgical intervention including suboccipital craniectomy and laminectomy to relieve pressure on the spinal cord.
- Post-surgery, while some symptoms improved, issues like quadriparesis and sphincter disturbances persisted, but the structural stability of the spine was successfully maintained.
