Cervical cavitation is a relatively slowly progressive, spinal cord disorder characterized by neurological dysfunction. Common symptoms include upper limb sensory impairment, muscle atrophy, and nutritional disorders. 1. Sensory impairment of upper limbs: due to the formation of tubular cavity in the spinal cord and the proliferation of neuroglia, resulting in sensory nerve conduction impairment, often manifested as Charcot’s arthropathy with sensory impairment of shoulder and elbow joints, and due to the impairment of pain and temperature sensation of the upper arm and other parts and the hand, scald injuries are often seen, and scalded scars can be seen on the surface of the body. 2. Muscle atrophy: the lesion extends to the anterior horn cells causing destruction of motor neurons, resulting in paralysis and atrophy of the corresponding muscles, decreased muscle tone, muscle fiber tremor and loss of reflexes. In the early stage, the disease appears in both hands and upper limbs, and claw-shaped hand deformity may appear when the disease is severely affected. As the disease progresses, it extends to the spinal cord, followed by muscle atrophy and paralysis of the lower limbs. Horner’s sign may appear in the late stage. 3. Nutritional disorders: cervical cavities are often accompanied by nutritional disorders, manifested by severe osteoporosis, decubitus ulcers, ulcers, scoliosis, excessive sweating, no sweating, color change, hyperkeratosis, rough and brittle nails. Lesions spreading to the medulla oblongata can cause dysphagia and paralysis of the tongue muscle atrophy. As there are many factors that lead to cervical cavitation, the treatment of this disease should be based on the specific condition and clinical manifestations and other comprehensive judgment, and it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time so as not to worsen the condition.
