Abstract

Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is a common neurological condition, with disease progression that is both variable and difficult to predict. Here, we present a case of DCM in a gentleman in his late 60s with significant radiological disease progression without consequent change in clinical symptoms. The case serves as a reminder of an enduring medical aphorism that clinical history and examination should be prioritized above more complex data, such as imaging investigations. In addition, the case also highlights that guidelines should be contextualized within individual clinical circumstances.

临床稳定的颈椎退行性脊髓病的放射学进展:病例报告。
颈椎退行性脊髓病(DCM)是一种常见的神经系统疾病,其疾病进展多变且难以预测。在此,我们介绍了一例年过六旬的 DCM 病例,该患者的放射学疾病进展显著,但临床症状并未随之改变。该病例提醒我们一个经久不衰的医学箴言,即临床病史和检查应优先于影像学检查等更复杂的数据。此外,该病例还强调,应根据个人临床情况制定相关指南。
