Episode SummaryGeoffry P. Striscek, MD, assistant professor in the Division of Neurological Surgery at Northwestern Medicine, discusses the pathophysiology, diagnosis and surgical management of cervical spondylotic myelopathy.
"As our population continues to age and as people live longer, the number of people who are over 65 that have symptomatic cervical spinal cord compression is going to start to go up or will continue to go up," says Dr. Stricsek. "So, the question is, how best do we manage the people, and is surgery still an appropriate option? And the answer is yes." |
