Synopsis

Keywords: Spinal Cord, NeuroEvaluation of intervertebral foramen stenosis is essential in the diagnosis of cervical spondylosis. However, that is not easy because the intervertebral foramen is thin. We focused on the nodular change of the cervical nerve root, which is often visualized in patients with cervical spondylosis. We investigated the relationship between nodular changes and intervertebral foramen stenosis and confirmed the correlation between them. Thus, the identification of the nodular change may be helpful in the diagnosis of cervical spondylosis.
