Cervical spinal stenosis: determination with vertebral body ratio method.

H Pavlov, J S Torg, B Robie

    Radiology
    |September 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Cervical spinal stenosis can cause temporary paralysis after trauma. A new ratio method reliably measures spinal canal diameter from radiographs, proving independent of technical variations.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Neurology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Cervical spinal stenosis is associated with transient neurological deficits after trauma.
    • Symptoms can range from sensory disturbances to complete paralysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the reliability of a ratio method for measuring cervical spinal canal diameter.
    • To compare the ratio method with a conventional measurement technique.

    Main Methods:

    • Radiographs of 23 athletes with cervical spinal neurapraxia were analyzed.
    • Measurements included conventional sagittal diameter and a novel ratio method (spinal canal diameter / vertebral body diameter).

    Main Results:

    • The ratio method demonstrated reliability in assessing cervical spinal stenosis.
    • This method was found to be independent of technical factors in radiographic measurements.

    Conclusions:

    • The ratio method is a dependable tool for diagnosing cervical spinal stenosis.
    • This technique offers a robust alternative for radiographic canal measurement.
