Abstract:

The authors present a review of literature focusing on state-of-art of surgical management of cervical spondylogenic myelopathy (CSM). Pathophysiology of CSM, evaluation and differential diagnosis are also described. Special attention is given to the value of neurophysiological aspects in pre- and postoperative examination.
