Abstract

The most severe side effect of cervical spondylosis and the most frequent cause of spinal disorders older people is cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). On T2-weighted images, increased signal intensity may be detected at the level of spinal canal stenosis, making MRI a helpful technique for examining the spinal cord. Disc degeneration leads to spondylotic alterations in the cervical spine of the elderly. Static/dynamic cord compression and microvascular insufficiency may result in acute spinal cord ischemia in CSM, which is followed by quickly progressing neurological impairment. The aim of study is to find out spondylotic myelopathy through magnetic resonance imaging. The data were included in literature review from several search engines. In this literature review, only 23 were used for extraction of data related to topic statement. It is concluded that MRI is used full technique for diagnosis, evaluation and follow-up of patients with spondylotic myelopathy.
