Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Non-traumatic cervical myelopathy is a prevalent condition.
  • Spondylosis, with or without discopathy, is a primary etiology, alongside meningioma or myelitis.
  • Neurosurgical intervention offers potential benefits for many patients.

Observation:

  • Diagnosis is frequently delayed due to the insidious onset and nonspecific initial symptoms.
  • A review of 18 patients highlights diagnostic challenges.
  • The importance of a thorough neurological examination is emphasized.

Findings:

  • Neurological examination aids in focusing diagnostic efforts.
  • Complementary tests like MRI, lumbar puncture, and electrophysiology are guided by clinical findings.
  • Clinical assessment can help circumvent misleading radiological evidence.

Implications:

  • Improved diagnostic strategies for non-traumatic cervical myelopathy are needed.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis can lead to better patient outcomes.
  • Neurological examination remains a cornerstone in diagnosing complex spinal cord conditions.
