Cervical canal stenosis (CCS) is a condition characterized by the narrowing of the spinal canal in the cervical spine, leading to compression of the spinal cord and nerve roots. This can result in a variety of neurological deficits, including myelopathy, radiculopathy, and motor dysfunction. The primary goal of treatment is to relieve neural compression and improve or preserve neurological function. Surgical decompression, such as laminoplasty, is a common procedure to treat this condition, as it decompresses the spinal canal to relieve pressure on the spinal cord. Laminectomy with lateral mass fixation is another option of management.
