Cervical spinal stenosis is divided into congenital cervical spinal stenosis and acquired spinal stenosis. Congenital spinal stenosis is mainly due to developmental causes. Acquired spinal stenosis is more common in clinical practice and is mainly due to herniated discs, hypertrophic ligaments, calcified posterior longitudinal ligaments and synovial joint hyperplasia, resulting in a reduction in the volume of the spinal canal and compression of the nerve spinal cord, resulting in a series of symptoms. Cervical spinal stenosis is mainly caused by compression of the spinal cord, which restricts the conduction function of the spinal cord, and may cause inflexibility in the upper extremities, such as difficulty in fine movements like holding a needle or something small. The most typical symptom is a cotton-like sensation on the soles of the feet, which is equivalent to a wobbly feeling when walking, and the soles of the feet feel like they are stepping on a pile of cotton, making them unstable and fall down. The main causes are congenital and acquired. Congenital is relatively rare in clinical practice, while acquired is mainly due to cervical spine degeneration. Cervical degeneration, such as intervertebral disc problems, ligamentous hyperplasia, hypertrophy, osteophytes, and ligamentous ossification, can cause cervical spinal stenosis.
