Predictive Factors for Late-Onset Neurological Deficits in Patients with Posttuberculous Thoracic Kyphosis

Figure 3

A 45-year-old female with spinal tuberculosis presented with 96.8° of kyphosis (a, AIS grade E). (b) CT revealed fusion of T11 and T12 vertebrae. (c) T2-weighted MRI showed tortuous spinal cord in the kyphotic region. SDR was 23.4%. SCA was 127.7°. CSAR was 13.4%. SDR: spinal cord sagittal diameter ratio; SCA: spinal cord angle; CSAR: spinal cord cross-sectional area ratio.
