Cervical spinal stenosis

B S Epstein et al. Radiol Clin North Am. 1977 Aug.

Abstract

Cervical spinal stenosis occurs at the craniovertebral junction, usually incident to a congenital malformation, or it appears as a developmental defect with diffuse narrowing of the cervical canal. In its acquired form the lesion may be limited to one or two levels, or it may be more extensive and affect three or more segments.
