Abstract

Health problems due to degenerative spine disorders become important in elderly individuals. Although the incidence of cervical degenerative spine disorders is less than in the lumbar region, the possibility of a deficit and disability is higher. Ageing is the most important factor but working conditions and environmental and genetic factors can also be the reason of proteoglycan content depletion of the disc tissue, resulting in height loss and dehydration of the disc and initiation of degeneration. The disturbance in load spreading causes increased stress on the uncovertebral and facet joints, osteophyte development, and internal torsion of ligamentum flavum. Progression of these changes leads to narrowing of the cervical spinal canal and compression of the spinal cord. If the diameter of the canal becomes smaller than the spinal cord, myelopathy may occur. In this paper, we pointed out the natural course of cervical spinal stenosis, the clinical conditions that can be seen, and the importance of follow-up tools in deciding on the treatment methods.

Özet

Ortalama yaşam süresi uzayıp popülasyon yaşlandıkça dejeneratif omurga hastalıklarının yarattığı sağlık problemlerinin önemi artmaktadır. Sıklık açısından lomber dejeneratif hastalıklardan sonra gelse de, sahip olduğu defisit/sakatlık yaratabilme potansiyeli yüzünden servikal dar kanal dejeneratif omurga hastalıkları arasında özel bir öneme sahiptir. Yaşlanma başta olmak üzere çevresel, çalışma koşulları ve genetik faktörlerin etkisiyle beraber proteoglikan içeriğindeki değişikliğe bağlı olarak diskin dehidrasyonu disk yükseklik kaybına bağlı olan dejeneratif değişiklikler zincirini başlatır. Yük dağılımında ortaya çıkan bozulma unkovertebral ve faset eklemlerdeki stresin artmasına, osteofit oluşumuna ve ligamentum flavumun içe kıvrılmasına sebep olur. Bu değişiklikler ilerlediğinde servikal omurilik kanalının kesit alanında azalmaya ve omurilikte sıkışmaya yol açar. Kanal kesit alanı omurilik kesit alanından daha az ise omurilik sıkışır ve bu durum myelopatiye kadar ilerleyebilir. Bu yazı servikal dar kanalın doğal seyrini, yaratabileceği klinik tabloları ve izlem araçlarının hasta takibi ve kararlarımızı yönlendirmedeki yerini aktaracaktır.
