Tapia syndrome, a rare complication of posterior cervical surgery, characterised by concurrent paralyses of recurrent laryngeal branch of vagus and hypoglossal cranial nerves, occurred in a patient after posterior cervical foraminotomies for radiculopathy. We discuss hypothesised pathophysiology, and diagnostic, therapeutic and avoidance strategies in relevance to prone neurosurgical procedures.

At present, the choice of approach for the surgical treatment of cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) remains controversial. We performed this meta-analysis to compare the efficacy of the anterior and posterior approaches in the treatment of cervical OPLL. PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched for all eligible articles as of August 3, 2023, without any publication date restrictions.

Cable-driven exosuits have the potential to support individuals with motor disabilities across the continuum of care. When supporting a limb with a cable, force sensors are often used to measure tension. However, force sensors add cost, complexity, and distal components.

Purpose: This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the relationship between occipital spur (OS) with both craniocervical posture and craniofacial morphology.
Methods: The study involved 240 lateral cephalograms from subjects with and without OS. The craniocervical posture and facial morphology of every individual were assessed through Uceph software analysis of their cephalograms, considering 32 variables.

Bilateral vertebral artery dissections account for only 8% of all vertebral artery dissections and cause just 2% of all ischemic strokes. They can occur spontaneously, even without any triggering factor. Classical clinical findings, such as headache or neck pain, may be absent, particularly in the context of a stroke.

Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) is a tumor suppressor gene expressed throughout the body. APC mutations increase the risk of malignancy and are often characterized by syndromes that encompass a spectrum of neoplastic manifestations, such as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). We present a rare case of palatal peripheral nerve sheath tumor in the context of APC gene mutation.
