Cervicocranial syndrome or ( craniocervical junction syndrome, CCJ syndrome) is a combination of symptoms that are caused by an abnormality in the cervical vertebrae leading to improper function of cervical spinal nerves. Cervicocranial syndrome is either congenital or acquired. Some examples of diseases that could result in cervicocranial ...
Occipito-cervical junction This disorder may result from rheumatoid arthritis, causing the hypermobility of the connection between the neck and head, resulting in paralysis or pain. Cerebrovascular disease Cerebrovascular disease is a type of cervical spine disorder that can cause tetraplegia. Subaxial cervical spine; Atlanto-axial joint
Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy (CSM) is a disorder characterised by the age-related deterioration of the cervical spinal cord. [ 1] Referred to be a range of different but related terms, a global consensus process selected Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy as the new overarching disease term.[ 2] It is a neurological disorder related to the ...
Atlanto-occipital dislocation, orthopedic decapitation, or internal decapitation describes ligamentous separation of the spinal column from the skull base. It is possible for a human to survive such an injury; however, 70% of cases result in immediate death. It should not be confused with atlanto-axial dislocation, which describes ligamentous ...
No radiographic features of osteoarthritis. 1. Possible joint space narrowing (normal joint space is at least 2 mm at the superior acetabulum) [ 7] and osteophyte formation. 2. Definite osteophyte formation with possible joint space narrowing. 3. Multiple osteophytes, definite joint space narrowing, sclerosis and possible bony deformity.
Myelomalacia. MRI image shows spinal bleeding (myelomalacia). Myelomalacia is a pathological term referring to the softening of the spinal cord. [ 1] Possible causes of myelomalacia include cervical myelopathy, hemorrhagic infarction, or acute injury, such as that caused by intervertebral disc extrusion. [ 2]
They allow for flexion and extension and limit lateral flexion in the cervical spine. Pathological processes that can occur in these joints include degenerative changes or hypertrophic arthritis, resulting in foraminal stenosis and nerve compression. Foraminal stenosis at this joint is the most common cause of cervical nerve root pressure.
However, in recent months, I’ve channeled my anxiety into more of a curiosity about how my body works. So, when I got the chance to try Prenuvo—the trendy full-body MRI scan that’s been all ...
