QID 218916 (Type "218916" in App Search)
You are a spine surgeon performing an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) at C5-6 for a 66-year-old male with symptoms of cervical myelopathy. The case takes longer than usual due to difficulty with exposure. You are concerned that the prolonged retraction of the longus coli may lead to a complication. What would be the most likely clinical presentation if this patient were to have this complication?
