Question
what is the primary etiology of cervical spine myelopathy? spinal cord tumor transverse myelitis syringomyelia spondylosis
Brief Explanations
Cervical spine myelopathy is most commonly caused by degenerative changes in the cervical spine. Spondylosis refers to this age-related degenerative process (including bone spurs, disc degeneration, and ligament thickening) that narrows the spinal canal and compresses the spinal cord, which is the primary etiology. The other options are less common, non-degenerative causes of myelopathy.
