Clinical Features of Thoracic Spinal Stenosis-associated Myelopathy

Abstract

Onset of TSS was generally insidious but may be triggered acutely by apparently trivial events. Myelopathy mainly affected the lower limbs. The most common cause was OLF in the lower thoracic spine. Cervical or lumbar spinal disease was often also evident; therefore, comprehensive clinical assessment is required to avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment.
