Abstract

Background: Cervical spondylosis is an increasingly common chronic disease in the community. Because the anatomy of the cervical spine is related to both the spinal cord and nerve roots, if not detected and treated early, it can cause many dangerous complications. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an effective imaging method for early detection of pathology, thereby leading to treatment and prevention to avoid irreversible progressive lesions. Objectives: To describe clinical features, magnetic resonance imaging and the correlation between clinical features in patients with cervical spondylosis radiculopathy or myelopathy and magnetic resonance imaging in patients who have cervical spondylosis with cervical neural foraminal stenosis or cervical canal stenosis at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 101 patients who came to Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy hospital with symptoms and MRI findings of cervical nerve compression from 2020 to 2022. Results: An average age of 48.48 ± 11.46. Neck pain and sensory deficit accounted for the highest rate. MRI findings included: The most hernia location was at C5-C6 (35%). The degree of cervical foraminal stenosis according to Park grade 0 made up the highest percentage (31.7%); The degree of cervical canal stenosis according to Kang grade 2 comprised the highest rate (40.6%). Conclusions: There was a correlation between the clinical degree of cervical radiculopathy and MRI and a correlation between the clinical degree of cervical myelopathy and MRI.
