The cervical spine is made up of 7 vertebrae stacked and separated by discs, with the exception of the first and second (C1-C2). In the middle of the spinal column is the spinal canal that contains the spinal cord.
Osteoarthritis is a disease that delays and thickens the joints. In the case of the cervical spine, the formation of osteophytes (parrot beaks) and deformations of the discs will progressively reduce the diameter of the medullary canal. This narrowing produces an aggressive compression of the cervical cord, as well as of the roots of the nerves destined for the upper limbs, this known as cervicoarthrosis myelopathy.
This pathology in relation to age can be favored by the existence of a constitutional narrow cervical canal. It can be found in a single or several cervical levels.
