Objective: There is currently no consensus regarding the appropriate lower instrumented vertebra (LIV) for multilevel posterior cervical fusion (PCF) constructs between C7 and crossing the cervicothoracic junction (CTJ). The goal of the present study was to compare postoperative sagittal alignment and functional outcomes among adult patients presenting with cervical myelopathy undergoing multilevel PCF terminating at C7 versus spanning the CTJ.

Methods: A single-institution retrospective analysis (January 2017-December 2018) was performed of patients undergoing multilevel PCF for cervical myelopathy that involved the C6-7 vertebrae.

Intracranial vessel wall MR imaging (VWI) is increasingly being used as a valuable adjunct to conventional angiographic imaging techniques. This article will provide an updated review on intracranial VWI protocols and image interpretation. We review VWI technical considerations, describe common VWI imaging features of different intracranial vasculopathies and show illustrative cases.
