Work in progress on a series of cervical myelopathy illustrations that show the stages of degenerative change: thickening of the posterior longitudinal ligament (PLL) across C4-5, C5-6, and ossification of the PLL. These illustrations were created underneath the guidance of Rory Murphy, MD, neurosurgeon at @barrowneuro. His expertise includes peripheral nerve surgery and the treatment of cervical myelopathy, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, brain tumors, and spinal tumors. #textbook #neurosurgery #medicalillustration #publication #journal #journalcover #coverart #medicalart #sciart #scienceillustration #textbooks #medschool #physiciansassistant #neuro #bypass #neuroscience #bypasssurgery #teaching #sutures #technique #spinesurgery #medicine #spine #photoshopdrawing #digitalpainting #cintiq #magazinecover #article #brainsurgery #brains @medic_for_you @neurologicalsurgeon @neurocenter10 @dr.jesuscazares @neurocirurgiabr @drjoaovitorino @dremadmamounhamza @neurologicalsurgery @neurosurgerychair @i_kosmetolog @neurocirurgiafortaleza @cirurgiadacolunaportugal @pasion.medica @supportbarrow (at Barrow Brain and Spine) https://www.instagram.com/p/B650eQJHuXR/?igshid=r6ez51zr8pk4
