| Popis: | To evaluate the impact of the longitudinal extension of intramedullary lesions on the neurological status and postoperative outcome. Forty-six patients operated in our Department between February 2004 and June 2007 have been included in this study. The patients were classified in two groups according to the longitudinal extension of the lesion over less than three vertebral segments (group A) and over exactly three or more vertebral segments (group B). The neurological status was assessed preoperatively, postoperatively and after 3 months and involved both the McCormick (McC) and Klekamp–Samii (KS) scales. The preoperative McC- and KS scores of the patients of group B were statistically significant lower (p |
