The value of dynamic MRI in cervical spondylotic myelopathy: About 24 cases.

ABSTRACT: Dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the cervical spine is extremely useful in assessing pathological changes at the spinal cord, vertebrae, discs, ligaments and facet joints. We attempted to document the radiological changes that the cervical spine undergoes during dynamic maneuvers and the effects of Dynamic MRI in management of cervical myelopathy, emphasizing on the changes in treatment protocol effected by the new findings discovered. Our work is based on 24 consecutive patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy had cervical MR imaging in neutral position, in flexion and extension of the cervical spine between January 2021 and December 2021. The result found the mean age was 57.9 years (range 26-85 years). Among these 24 patients, there were 11 males and 13 females. Total nu
