The anteroposterior diameters of the cervical spinal canal in 21 patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy were measured. In more than one-third (eight) of these it was found that this diameter of the canal was more than 14 mm, despite a widely held belief that this myelopathy is unlikely if the cervical spinal canal is wider than 14 mm in the AP diameter.
对21例脊髓型颈椎病患者的颈椎椎管前后径进行了测量。结果发现，其中超过三分之一（8例）患者的椎管直径超过14毫米，尽管人们普遍认为，如果颈椎椎管前后径大于14毫米，发生这种脊髓病的可能性不大。
