QID: 1166
A 66-year-old male presents with neck pain, difficulty with fine motor activities like buttoning shirts, and mild gait instability. On physical examination he has 5 of 5 motor strength in all muscles groups in his upper and lower extremities, a bilateral Hoffman sign, bilateral 3+ patellar reflexes, 3 beats of clonus on the right, and no clonus on the left. Radiographs show segmental kyphosis of 12 degrees from C4 to C7. MRI shows circumferential compression at C5/6 with complete effacement of CSF and T2 intramedullary signal. What is the most accurate description of how his symptoms will progress over time?

A 60-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis has long term neck pain and new onset of difficulty holding cards in her weekly poker tournament. She does not complain of weakness, but states she has become "clumsy" in her old age, fumbling with buttons and dropping her change. On exam she has hyperreflexia, but no weakness. Radiographs show atlantoaxial subluxation. She is considering decompressive surgery, but wants to know if she will recover function. Which radiographic marker may predict neural recovery after decompression?
