Upper limb involvement in cervical spondylosis.

D G Phillips

    Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry
    |April 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Cervical spondylosis can cause distinct neurological syndromes: brachial neuritis and myelopathy. Differentiating these conditions is crucial for effective treatment, with contrast radiology aiding surgical decisions.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Spinal Cord Medicine

    Background:

    • Cervical spondylosis is a common degenerative condition affecting the cervical spine.
    • Neurological syndromes associated with cervical spondylosis include brachial neuritis and myelopathy.
    • Distinguishing between these syndromes is essential for appropriate management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the distinct clinical features and overlap between brachial neuritis and myelopathy in cervical spondylosis.
    • To evaluate the utility of neurological findings in localizing intervertebral disc pathology.
    • To assess the effectiveness of contrast radiology and anterior surgical approaches for treating these conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 200 cases with neurological syndromes associated with cervical spondylosis.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Clinical evaluation of upper and lower limb neurological deficits.
  • Correlation of clinical findings with contrast radiology (myelography, discography) and surgical outcomes.
  • Review of pathological data to support clinical interpretations.

    • Main Results:

    • Brachial neuritis and myelopathy are distinct syndromes with minimal overlap in cervical spondylosis.
    • Upper limb neurological deficits are attributed to nerve root compression in brachial neuritis and cord damage in myelopathy.
    • Neurological signs in the upper limbs have limited value in localizing specific disc pathology.
    • Contrast radiology is a reliable diagnostic tool, guiding successful anterior surgical interventions (Cloward's operation).

    Conclusions:

    • Brachial neuritis and myelopathy represent distinct neurological entities within cervical spondylosis.
    • Accurate diagnosis, aided by contrast radiology, is critical for successful surgical management of persistent symptoms.
    • Pathological insights enhance the understanding and treatment of these complex spinal conditions.
