2024年11月16日 · Compressive myelopathy refers to neurological deficits that result from compression of the spinal cord. It most commonly occurs in the cervical spinal cord.

Myelopathy is spinal cord compression that causes pain, numbness and weakness in your arms, legs, hands or feet. Surgery treats it.

Myelopathy is a disorder that results from severe compression of the spinal cord. The only way to treat the compression of the spinal cord is through decompression surgery. Causes of myelopathy include spinal stenosis, spinal trauma and spinal infections, as well as autoimmune, oncological, neurological and congenital disorders.

2024年6月26日 · Compression or pressure against the spinal cord in your neck region causes cervical myelopathy. Common causes of compression include: Bone spurs. Herniated disk. Narrow cervical canal (birth defect).

2023年1月15日 · Cervical myelopathy describes a spinal cord compression at the cervical level of the spinal column resulting in spasticity (sustained muscle contractions), hyperreflexia, pathologic reflexes, digit/hand clumsiness, or gait disturbance. Classically, it has an insidious onset, progressing in a stepwise manner with functional decline.

2023年2月13日 · Spinal cord compression can occur from a wide range of underlying conditions. This topic focuses on atraumatic causes of spinal cord compression, including degenerative spondylosis with myelopathy, metastatic disease of the spine, primary spinal cord malignancy, spinal epidural abscess, and spontaneous or iatrogenic spinal epidural hematoma.

Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a neck condition that arises when the spinal cord becomes compressed — or squeezed — due to the wear-and-tear changes that occur in the spine as we age. Although the condition commonly occurs in patients over the age of 40, it can occur in younger people who were born with narrower spinal canals.

Myelopathy is an injury to the spinal cord caused by severe compression that may be a result of spinal stenosis, disc degeneration, disc herniation, autoimmune disorders or other trauma. Learn more about causes, symptoms and treatment options available at the Penn Spine Center.

2022年10月14日 · Abscess-related compressive myelopathy requires rapid treatment to prevent and minimize permanent damage and neurological deficits. It is usually treated with antibiotics and/or surgery.

Myelopathy is a term used to describe any neurologic deficit related to the spinal cord. It is usually due to compression of the spinal cord by osteophyte or extruded disc material. It is most commonly localized in the cervical spine but it can also occur in the thoracic and lumbar spine. [1]
