Zervikale Myelopathie

Die zervikale Myelopathie ist eine klinische Diagnose und eine Funktionsstörung des Rückenmarks. Aufgrund der demografischen Entwicklung wird das Krankheitsbild in Zukunft weiter an Bedeutung gewinnen. Nicht jede Einengung des Spinalkanals in der Halswirbelsäule führt zu einer Erkrankung des Rückenmarks. Die Indikationsstellung zur operativen Behandlung erfordert deshalb detaillierte Kenntnisse über den natürlichen Verlauf der Erkrankung und die verschiedenen Behandlungsoptionen.
