Syringomyelia
Syringomyelia is a chronic illness in which fluid-filled cysts called “syrinx” develop inside your spinal cord. Hydromyelia, syringohydromyelia, and Morvan illness are all names for the same condition. Syringomyelia is most frequent in individuals between the ages of 20 and 40, however it can affect anyone at any age. It is more common in men than in women.
Cervical Fusion Surgery
Cervical Fusion Surgery or Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a form of neck surgery that comprises eliminating a degenerative disc to relieve spinal cord or nerve root compression. In The throat part, an incision is made to locate and remove the disc. This improves pain, tingling, and numbness due to this condition. A discectomy is a form of surgical decompression, that’s why it is also called an anterior cervical decompression.
Cervical Deformity
Cervical Deformity is a type of disorder that affects cervical alignment. This deformity can cause not only pain to a person and maintaining an upright position but, the cervical deformity can also result in difficulty swallowing and breathing, maintaining a straight gaze in severe cases, and can severely disrupt the person’s daily activities such as driving, eating and long sitting. Surgical treatment is often mandatory if the above symptoms are present.
Arnold-Chiari Malformation
Chiari malformations are normally caused due to structural defects in the brain or spinal cord, these defects occur during the fetal development phases. But Chiari malformation can also occur in later stages of life. if there is any injury or exposure to toxic substances this can result in drainage of an excessive amount of cerebrospinal fluid, the fluid which protects the brain and spinal cord. Chiari malformation is considered a congenital condition, although acquired forms of the condition have been diagnosed. In the 1890s, a German pathologist, Professor Hans Chiari, first described abnormalities of the brain at the junction of the skull with the spine. He categorized these in order of severity; types I, II, III and IV. The term “Arnold-Chiari” was latter applied to the Chiari type II malformation. These malformations, along with syringomyelia and hydromyelia, two closely associated conditions, are described below. The cerebellum controls the coordination of motion and is normally located inside the base of the skull, in what is referred to as the posterior fossa. Usually, the cerebellum is composed of two lateral halves, or hemispheres, and a narrow central portion between these hemispheres, known as the vermis. Along the under surface of the hemispheres, there are two small protrusions called the tonsils. The fourth ventricle is a space filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) located in front of the cerebellum (and behind the brainstem). All of these structures are located just above the foramen magnum, the largest opening at the base of the skull through which the spinal cord enters and connects to the brainstem.
Cervical Fracture
The cervical vertebrae are made of seven bones, these bones support the head and are responsible for connection with the shoulder and the body and provide mobility. If any fracture happens in one of these cervical vertebrae is usually referred to as a broken neck or cervical fracture. Aged people and athletes are at high risk, any ground-level fall can result in a cervical fracture. Any injury to the neck can have a serious impact as the spinal cord, central nervous system’s connection between body and brain connects through the center of the vertebrae. Damage to the spinal cord is very serious it can even result in paralysis or death.
Cervical stenosis
Cervical stenosis is a condition in which the spinal canal is too small for the spinal cord and nerve roots. This can cause damage to the spinal cord, a condition called myelopathy, or pinch nerves as they exit the spinal canal (radiculopathy).
Cervical Myelopathy
Cervical myelopathy is a neck condition that involves squeezing of the spinal cord in the cervical spine. This commonly happens in patients after the age of 50, due to age-related wear and tear of the spine. Some people are born with a narrow spinal canal and can have this condition sooner in their life.
Cervical Disc Prolapse
Spinal disc herniation is an injury to the cushioning and connective tissue between vertebrae, usually caused by excessive strain or trauma to the spine. It may result in back pain, pain or sensation in different parts of the body, and physical disability. The most conclusive diagnostic tool for disc herniation is MRI, and treatment may range from painkillers to surgery. Protection from disc herniation is best provided by core strength and an awareness of body mechanics including posture. When a tear in the outer, fibrous ring of an intervertebral disc allows the soft, central portion to bulge out beyond the damaged outer rings, the disc is said to be herniated. Disc herniation is frequently associated with age-related degeneration of the outer ring, known as the anulus fibrosus, but is normally triggered by trauma or straining by lifting or twisting. Tears are almost always postero-lateral (on the back of the sides) owing to the presence of the posterior longitudinal ligament in the spinal canal.[1] A tear in the disc ring may result in the release of chemicals causing inflammation, which can result in severe pain even in the absence of nerve root compression. Disc herniation is normally a further development of a previously existing disc protrusion, in which the outermost layers of the anulus fibrosus are still intact, but can bulge when the disc is under pressure. In contrast to a herniation, none of the central portion escapes beyond the outer layers. Most minor herniations heal within several weeks. Anti-inflammatory treatments for pain associated with disc herniation, protrusion, bulge, or disc tear are generally effective. Severe herniations may not heal of their own accord and may require surgery.
Cervical Spondylosis
cervical spondylosis is natural age-related wear and tear of cartilage, disks, and bones in the neck. Like the rest of the body, the disks in the neck area also degenerate with the age. Cervical spondylosis is very common, more than 70% of people over the age of 50 are affected. The condition can lead to stiffness and pain in the neck, although patients generally experience no noticeable symptoms.
