摘要：Cervical spine spondylosis, is the result of a complex process which occurs in the course of normal physiological aging of body tissue. This lengthy process progresses normally for decades as we age. It is believed that it is initiated through early degenerative changes in the intervertebral discs. Surgical operation is only a part of the treatment and it never meets all patient's expectations. The operation alleviates or eliminates direct life threat or loss of health but it is not solving the whole healing problem. Before planning the surgery, the imaging examination are widely used. It is important to remember that the signs of wear of the cervical spine obtained via imaging, do not always correspond to the clinical symptoms.
