Cervical discs are the “shock absorber cushions” that sit between each vertebra. A total of six discs are positioned between the seven cervical vertebrae (one between two vertebrae). If you have a herniation of cervical disc, you may feel pain that radiates down your arm and possibly into your hand. You may also feel pain on or near your shoulder blade, and neck pain when turning your head or bending your neck.

Sometimes you may have muscle spasms (meaning the muscles tighten uncontrollably). MRI of spine is advised to demonstrate the prolapse disc. Management includes pain relief medications, physiotherapy, spinal injection and in selective cases surgery is indicated.

Syringomyelia is a neurologic condition caused by the presence of a fluid-filled cavity within the spinal cord parenchyma or central canal. It typically is seen in conjunction with type 1 Chiari malformations (CMs). CMs are caused by problems in the structure of the brain and skull. In Chiari malformations, the lower part of the brain presses on and through an opening in the base of the skull (Foramen Magnum) and cerebellum into the spinal canal. The cerebellum is the part of the brain that controls balance.

Any abnormality in the alignment, shape, or formation of the cervical vertebral column is called cervical spine deformities. Deformities of the cervical spine usually results in an abnormal posture of the head in comparison with the chest and shoulders. Cervical deformity can also result in breathing and swallowing difficulty and can severely disturb a person’s capacity to do normal tasks such as eating, drinking, reading, or driving. It is a potentially debilitating condition with numerous etiologies, such as iatrogenic, inflammatory arthropathy, spondylosis, congenital, neuromuscular, traumatic, infectious, and neuromuscular processes.

Cervical fusion surgery can be done from the front or back of the neck. Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a surgery to remove a herniated or degenerative disc in the neck. An incision is made in the throat area to reach and remove the disc. A graft is inserted to fuse together the bones above and below the disc. Posterior cervical fusion means operating the neck from the back and doing a fusion surgery to decompress the spinal cord and stabilize the spine. Often titanium screws and rods are used to achieve fusion.
