Cervical disc herniation

The cause of cervical spondylosis is mainly due to the degenerative changes of the cervical disc, including the swelling, protrusion and prolapse of the nucleus pulposus, which indicate different stages of cervical spondylosis. However, clinically, sudden cervical disc herniation (prolapse) is often encountered, and most of them are paralyzed as the first symptom. Beginning in 1978, the author judged from trapezoidal changes and other clinical symptoms on X-ray dynamic lateral radiographs, and removed the nucleus pulposus early to obtain satisfactory results. We call this type ldquo; Acute cervical disc herniation (prolapse) rdquo ;. In recent years, the development of MRI examinations has confirmed this disease.
