To investigate the effect of cervical spine instability on sympathetic cervical spondylosis.
Twelve patients with cervical spondylosis showing sympathetic symptoms from 1992 to 2 000 were evaluated for cervical spine instability, immobilization of collar brace, MRI and surgical results.
Radiologic evaluation cervical instability was observed radiologically in 7 of the 12 cases. Collar brace was obviously effective in 5 of the 12 cases and slightly effective in 7 cases. MRI showed abnormal signal for instability of the cervical spine in 7 cases. Surgery was markedly effective in 7 cases and moderately effective in 4 cases.
Cervical spine instability was an important factor for sympathetic cervical spondylosis, which can be improved effectively by surgery.
探讨颈椎不稳对交感型颈椎病的影响。
对1992年至2000年期间出现交感症状的12例颈椎病患者进行颈椎不稳评估、颈托固定、磁共振成像(MRI)及手术效果评估。
影像学评估显示,12例患者中有7例存在颈椎不稳。颈托固定在12例患者中5例效果明显,7例效果欠佳。MRI显示7例患者颈椎不稳处有异常信号。手术治疗7例效果显著,4例效果中等。
颈椎不稳是交感型颈椎病的一个重要因素,手术可有效改善此情况。
