31 maj 2017 · Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a progressive degenerative disease and is the most common cause of cervical spinal cord dysfunction. 1,2 CSM can be due to direct compression of the spinal cord, or surrounding blood vessels, resulting in varied clinical symptoms.
Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a neurologic condition that develops insidiously over time as degenerative changes of the spine result in compression of the cord and nearby structures. It is the most common form of spinal cord injury in adults; yet, its diagnosis is often delayed.
17 lis 2015 · The frequency of diagnosis for cervical compressive myelopathy has recently increased, reflecting an aging society. The initial clinical symptoms of cervical compressive myelopathy are...
29 lis 2021 · Cervical myelopathy is a clinical syndrome describing dysfunction of the cervical spinal cord secondary to extrinsic compressive forces. It is the most common cause of spinal cord impairment in adults and is most often secondary to spondylotic degeneration of the cervical spine.
Reasons are likely multifactorial, but the absence of a diagnostic algorithm, poor awareness of the disease, and the often subtle and non-specific symptoms (eg, pain and numbness in limbs, poor coordination, imbalance, and bladder problems) that are often mistakenly attributed to ageing or to other conditions (eg, carpal tunnel syndrome, multipl...
13 maj 2024 · INTRODUCTION. Cervical spondylosis refers to a progressive degenerative process affecting the cervical vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs. This process can lead to narrowing (stenosis) of the central spinal canal (ie, cervical spinal stenosis).
In patients presenting with acute myelopathic signs and symptoms, compressive myelopathy should remain at the top of the differential diagnosis, because prompt referral for decompressive procedures may spare patients significant morbidity.
