A preoperative MRI showed a protruded intervertebral disc between C3 and C4, C4 and C5, C5 and C6, and corresponding spinal canal stenosis (Figure 1).
T2-weighted MRI demonstrates disc protrusion at C3-C4, C4-C5, and C5-C6, with spinal cord degeneration at 20 hours after gastrectomy. Arrow shows the lesion at the C4-5 level after the operation.
