Abstract
We studied an autopsy case with tetraplegia histopathologically. The case, a 32-year-old male, had the upper thoracic laminectomy for the extirpation of the intramedullary hemangioblastoma in 1972. After the operation, the cervical lordosis increased step by step following the increasing thoracic kyphosis. The myelogram showed compression of the cervical spinal cord by step-formation of the cervical spine. The histopathological findings were a focal necrosis in posterior funiculi and spinal cord cyst near the central canal in C1/2, and mostly necrosis below the level.
