The cervical portion of the spine is an important one anatomically and clinically. It is within this region that the nerves to the arms arise via the brachial plexus, and where the cervical plexus forms providing innervation to the diaphragm among other structures. The cervical spine also allows...

颈椎间盘突出 A cervical herniated disc occurs when the inner portion of a disc in the cervical spine—or neck—ruptures through the outer wall of the disc. 颈椎间盘突出是颈椎椎间盘的中央部分通过椎间盘外壁破裂而出。 In the cervic...
A cervical spinal disc is a piece of soft tissue that is an essential part of each motion segment in the neck. 颈椎间盘是组成每个颈椎运动节段重要的一片软组织。 The strong, fibrous outer portion of a spinal disc, called...
The elastic fibers in the middle portion of the tectoral membrane allow it to stretch over the odontoid process during flexion (similar to a “hammock”), thereby inhibiting the odontoid process from impinging posteriorly into the cervical canal. The tectoral membrane does not have an effect on...
The cervical facet joints have long been identified as a potential pain generator for neck pain. The facet joints are located in the posterior portion of the cervical spine and the paired synovial joints articulate between adjacent vertebrae. The coronal oblique orientation of the joints allows great...
Investigation should include CT myelography of the involved portion of the spine to detect abnormal outpouching of nerve root sleeves at sites of root avulsion. Pain and dysaesthesias associated with avulsion injuries of the brachial or lumbosacral plexus are usually unresponsive to medications. This...
A cervical spinal disc is a piece of soft tissue that is an essential part of each motion segment in the neck. 颈椎间盘是组成每个颈椎运动节段重要的一片软组织。 The strong, fibrous outer portion of a spinal disc, called the annulus fibrosus, wraps around the jellylike inner core of the ...
to have an ischemic stroke. However, computed tomography angiography of the head and neck did not show stenosis or occlusion of the major intracranial arteries and no aneurysms were identified. It showed interval stenting of the cervical portion of the right carotid artery and stable appearance of...
Here are some common surgical treatment options for those with cervical spine conditions: Cervical spinal decompression surgery:This alleviates pain caused by pinched nerves, pressure, or compression of your spinal cord. Your surgeon removes a portion of a disc to take pressure off a nerve root, ...
