Our study highlights that OH is not an uncommon manifestation following cervical spine surgery. Patients with poorer ASIA grades A, B, or C were more likely to have OH when compared with those with ASIA grades D or E (43.5% vs 7.2%). Hence, we suggest that postural blood pressure should be routinely monitored in this group of patients so that early intervention can be initiated.
