linda Neuhofer,
Cervical myelopathy (CSM) refers to an interference with the functioning of the spinal degenerative disc and joint acquired in adulthood causes. This is the most common disease as the cause of the malfunction of the spinal cord. The road to the compression of the spinal cord is the result of cervical osteoarthritis (also known as cervical osteoarthritis) that are not fully understood and probably also a number of causes. These changes in the results of the cervical spine with narrowing of the spinal canal compression leads to a thickening of the posterior longitudinal ligament and the bone spur (osteophyte) formation of the compression of the spinal cord, usually at the C4-C7 levels. The end result is a chronic spinal cord and nerve roots that lead to impaired blood flow and neurological deficit resulting damage to France in the spinal cord. A related condition is more common than in Asians are not the ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (Opll). Although cervical myelopathy is present in more than 50% of painlessPatients, the pain as acute pain, burning or persistent pain radiating through the arm to the forearm, finger, sometimes with "pinholes" are associated to describe paraesthesia in the fingers. Since the effect (the function of the spinal cord known as "myelopathy") advances, the legs gradually weaken and spastic. Control of bowel and bladder sphincter can then be changed. In advanced cases, walking becomes more difficult without the help of a cane or walker. Patients with compression of the spinal cord dysfunction can cause Frank) of the spinal cord (myelopathy on the examination of spinal surgery. The failure of patients to improve the signs after 4 to 6 weeks of conservative treatment or progression of symptoms, despite this, some surgery for the evaluation. In the past, to relieve cervical laminectomy (removal of the posterior spinal canal) to decompress (), the spinal cord is the procedure of choice. Most of these compounds on an anatomical anomalyng compression of the spinal cord before () in front of the spinal cord. This is only indirectly, by a cervical laminectomy, with a clear subgroup of patients with no benefit or worse after a laminectomy. Therefore, depending on the patient's anatomy, surgeons prefer anterior decompression of the spinal cord and nerve roots. These procedures are called anterior cervical decompression and fusion surgery known. The surgeon) can also materials (plates and screws for immediate help to make occupants of the cervical spine and to promote the healing of bone graft.
