A recent study illustrated a case report of a patient who had a coronal plane subluxation of the spinal cord. Initially, the patient had partial paralysis. After surgery to fixate the spine, there was improvement in neurological function. The authors found other case reports of similar improvement in patients with total subluxation of the spinal column in the coronal plane. Patients with total subluxation in the sagittal plane showed no improvement in neurological function following surgery. SOURCE: S. Yadla, et al.
