Cervical spondylotic myelopathy in a 68-year-old man diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Abstract

Owing to similar clinical presentations, cervical spondylotic myelopathy can mimic other neurological disorders. In this imaging case review (ICR), we describe a case of cervical spondylotic myelopathy in a patient diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The key clinical features, imaging findings and differential diagnoses of cervical spondylotic myelopathy compared with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are also presented.
