Clinical symptoms and patho-anatomic changes in cervical @entity602 due to spondylotic changes are described. The leading symptoms are @entity1183 and clumsiness of upper and lower extremity, mostly combined with gait disturbances. Muscle wasting primarily on the upper extremity leads to the @entity17589 hand. @entity3799 can be classified into five main groups: 1. @entity508 with @entity1183 and hyperreflexivity of upper and lower extremity. The majority of @entity1 present with the @entity17589 hand. 2. Spastic paraparesis with lesion below C6. 3. @entity508 , mild or moderate, with deltoid muscle paresis. 4. Amyotrophic @entity17589 hand with mild long tract signs. 5. Central @entity602 due to @entity4720 combined with @entity130 . From the therapeutic aspect, conservative treatment is often unsuccessful. It is important to relieve pressure on the myelon, and decompressive procedures, especially posterior laminoplasty techniques, are required. Earlier surgery provides better results.
