Does cervical spondylosis cause paralysis?

Severe cervical spondylosis may cause paralysis. Cervical spondylosis, radiculopathy, and sympathetic cervical spondylosis are less at risk of paralysis. However, cervical spondylotic myelopathy can cause compression of the cervical spinal cord, which increases the risk of paralysis. For cervical spondylosis at risk of paralysis, it is important to prevent neck trauma, including impact in car accidents and trauma in drunken states. once the patient shows symptoms of cervical spinal cord compression, surgery should be performed in time to relieve the compression of the spinal cord and reduce the occurrence of irreversible complications such as paralysis.
