Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Stenosis of the C-spine canal develops as the diameter of the canal narrows. This pathology commonly occurs with increasing age. The intervertebral disk loses its shock absorbency and water content, resulting in disk herniation into the spinal canal. Bone or ligament hypertrophy may also occur, leading to canal stenosis. These causes of spinal stenosis elicit neck pain and loss of sensation or weakness of the extremities. Myelography previously served as the imaging modality of choice in diagnosing disk herniation, osteophyte generation, and ligament hypertrophy as causes of spinal stenosis.
