    Computed tomography effectively diagnoses cervical spinal stenosis by identifying causes like congenital narrowing, spondylotic ridges, and dislocations. This imaging helps assess spinal canal diameter and guides treatment for myelopathy and radiculopathy.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology and Imaging
    • Neurosurgery
    • Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Cervical spinal stenosis poses diagnostic challenges.
    • Understanding the underlying causes is crucial for effective management.
    • Computed tomography (CT) offers advanced visualization capabilities.

    Observation:

    • CT scans were performed on 29 patients presenting with cervical spinal stenosis.
    • Congenital spinal canal narrowing was observed in 8 patients.
    • Dorsal spondylotic ridges were identified in 18 patients, and atlanto-dental dislocation in 3.

    Findings:

    • The study revealed various etiologies for cervical spinal stenosis, including congenital, degenerative (spondylotic ridges), and traumatic (atlanto-dental dislocation).
    • A significantly reduced spinal sagittal diameter (below ~13 mm) was noted in 25 out of 29 patients, indicating severe canal compromise.

  • CT imaging accurately demonstrated the type and location of the pathological processes contributing to stenosis.

    • Implications:

    • Computed tomography is a valuable tool for diagnosing cervical spinal stenosis and its diverse causes.
    • Accurate diagnosis through CT facilitates appropriate treatment planning for patients with radiculopathy or myelopathy.
    • This imaging modality aids in understanding the extent of spinal canal compromise and potential neurological deficits.
