About
Cassidy Werner is a clinical researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of spinal cord pathology and surgical safety, with a particular emphasis on iatrogenic injury and undiagnosed cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). Her most-cited paper, a 2019 literature review and case report, examines the devastating complication of tetraplegia following elective non-spine surgery in patients with underlying CSM—a condition that is often asymptomatic yet carries significant risk under general anesthesia. This contribution has been cited 10 times, highlighting its relevance to preoperative screening protocols and neurosurgical awareness. Werner’s work underscores the critical need for thorough neurological evaluation before any surgical procedure, bridging the gap between spine specialists and general surgeons. Her research has practical implications for preventing catastrophic outcomes, making it a valuable resource for clinicians and anesthesiologists. While her citation count is modest, the clinical gravity of her findings ensures her work remains a cautionary touchstone in the literature on surgical complications and spinal cord protection.
