The symptoms of cervical spondylosis are intricate and complex. The main symptoms are neck and shoulder pain radiating to the head and occipital region and upper limbs, and in a few cases, vertigo, falling, or fever and abnormal sweating on one side of the face, and in severe cases, the activities of both lower limbs are affected, or even paraplegia. Specifically, patients may have stiff neck, stiffness, pain, limited neck movement, heavy shoulders and back, muscle hardening, upper limb weakness, numbness of fingers, loss of sensation of limb skin, and sometimes unconscious falling of objects held in hands. Other patients may even have abnormal sensations such as headache, dizziness, vision loss, tinnitus, nausea, etc.; a few patients may have loss of control of urination and defecation, sexual dysfunction, or even tetraplegia. Of course, not all the manifestations will show up in every patient with cervical spondylosis, but often only some of the symptoms appear, and most of the patients have mild manifestations and a long disease duration, so there is absolutely no need to be pale at the smell of cervical spondylosis, and don’t feel free to take the right seat. Because of the complexity and diversity of the symptoms of cervical spondylosis and the blurred understanding, the disease is often confused with neurology, otorhinolaryngology or internal medicine diseases, thus delaying the diagnosis and treatment. It is gratifying to note that in recent years, as research has advanced, the level of diagnosis has been continuously improved and promising progress has been made in treatment methods, especially surgical treatment has been improved and perfected. At present, in addition to major hospitals, a few secondary hospitals have also gradually carried out the exploration of surgical treatment for cervical spondylosis. The complexity of the symptoms of cervical spondylosis is closely related to the anatomical structure of the neck, so to understand cervical spondylosis we must first start with understanding the general situation of its anatomy.
