Degenerative cervical spondylosis is a common, mostly asymptomatic condition, occurring as a result of age-related degenerative changes in the cervical spine. Symptoms caused by cervical spondylosis can be categorized broadly into three clinical syndromes: axial neck pain, cervical radiculopathy, and cervical myelopathy; with patients commonly having a combination of these syndromes. This speci...

Neck pain with or without radiculopathy and myelopathy is a very common problem in clinical practice. The incidence is believed to be higher in subgroups carrying load on their head. It has been reported in literature that radiographic spondylosis is appreciable in 25% to 50% of population by the age of 50 years and 75% to 85% by the age of 65 years. One hundred and nineteen lateral X-rays of c...

Cervical spondylosis is a common orthopaedic condition, and CSR the most type of cervical spondylosis. Contracture deformation muscle ligaments that maintain stability spine cause patients to suffer from neck pain, restricted movement, upper limb numbness reduced strength. closely related myofascial trigger points. Some studies have demonstrated acupuncture treatment can improve patients' clini...

BACKGROUND Double-door laminoplasty is an effective method in treating patients with cervical spondylosis. Many patients with cervical spondylosis experience a set of atypical symptoms such as vertigo and tinnitus, and wish to know if the surgical treatment for cervical spondylosis can also alleviate those symptoms. The current research was carried out to investigate if atypical symptoms can be...

A 49-year-old man with cervical spondylosis at the C2-4 level presented with onion-skin hemifacial dysesthesia in addition to the right extremities. C2-4 anterior cervical decompression and fusion were performed. Onion-skin hemifacial pain disappeared after surgery. Although we cannot conclude the etiology of the pain was either referred pain or direct injury to the spinal trigeminal nucleus, c...

STUDY DESIGN Cervical spine radiograms of 460 Jeju islanders. PURPOSE To investigate the age-matched incidences and severity of the cervical disc degeneration and associated pathologic findings. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Several related studies on the incidences of disc and Luschka's and facet joint degeneration have provided some basic data for clinicians. METHODS Cervical radiographs of 46...

Background: Cervical spondylosis is a common progressive degenerative disorder of the human spine often caused by the natural aging process. Osteophytic formations contribute to biomechanical changes that result in neural and vascular compression. The spinal compression of the obliquely passing cervical nerve roots can result in possible autonomic imbalance in the body. Valsalva maneuver is a s...

This study aimed to determine the relationship between the size of the cervical vertebral body and the morbidity of cervical spondylosis, and to examine the characteristics of spondylosis patients with small cervical vertebral bodies.The clinical data and the sagittal reconstructions of computed tomography images of 182 patients with cervical spondylosis were collected retrospectively. Patients...

BACKGROUND Vascular risk factors predispose to vertebrobasilar ischemia. Cervical osteophytes can impinge on the vertebral artery causing mechanical occlusion during head turning. Presentation with vertigo in such instances is a common finding. CASE PRESENTATION A patient with obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, cervical spondylosis, and vertigo triggered by head rotation is presented. She...

Cervical spondylosis is the most common progressive disorder in the aging cervical spine. It results from the process of degeneration of the intervertebral discs and facet joints of the cervical spine. Biomechanically, the disc and the facets are the connecting structures between the vertebrae for the transmission of external forces. They also facilitate cervical spine mobility. Symptoms relate...
