Cervical spinal stenosis need treatment?

Cervical spinal canal stenosis mostly needs treatment. Cervical spinal canal stenosis has congenital factors and acquired factors. Congenital factors are mainly developmental spinal canal stenosis and cone development abnormalities. Acquired factors can be multiple disc herniation, posterior longitudinal ligament hypertrophy ossification, yellow ligament ossification so that the sagittal area of the cervical spinal canal is reduced, and compression of the spinal cord is called cervical spinal canal stenosis. After cervical spinal canal stenosis patients according to the degree of stenosis, the symptoms are also different. Mild cervical spinal stenosis presents only as a belting sensation in the chest and abdomen, with little effect on limb muscle strength and no effect on the cauda equina. Most of these can be treated conservatively, with oral neurotrophic drugs, dehydration, etc. If there is no gait instability and defecation dysfunction, maintenance treatment can be continued. If the patient has severe cervical spinal stenosis, showing numbness in the limbs, reduced mobility of the hands, obvious restraint of the trunk, and showing symptoms of cauda equina syndrome, poor control of defecation, and erectile dysfunction, most patients require surgery. For multiple cervical spinal stenosis, posterior cervical laminectomy and pedicle screw fixation are performed.
