“…Magnetic resonance imaging has become the preferred screening method for evaluation of cervical myelopathy and radiculopathy in people . However, there is still controversy as to what imaging modality is the gold standard to diagnose this disease in people .

“…However, there is still controversy as to what imaging modality is the gold standard to diagnose this disease in people . Several studies have compared the noncontrast computed tomography (CT), CT‐myelography, and MR imaging findings in humans with cervical compressive myelopathy . In human neurology, discrepancies frequently arise in the interpretation of advanced imaging studies in patients with cervical degenerative disease, especially in differentiating discogenic and osseous pathology and in establishing the severity of disease .…”

Computed tomography (CT) provides excellent bony detail, whereas magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is superior in evaluating the neural structures. The purpose of this prospective study was to assess interobserver and intermethod agreement in the evaluation of cervical vertebral column morphology and lesion severity in Great Danes with cervical spondylomyelopathy by use of noncontrast CT and high-field MR imaging. Fifteen client-owned affected Great Danes were enrolled. All dogs underwent noncontrast CT under sedation and MR imaging under general anesthesia of the cervical vertebral column. Three observers independently evaluated the images to determine the main site of spinal cord compression, direction and cause of the compression, articular process joint characteristics, and presence of foraminal stenosis. Overall intermethod agreement, intermethod agreement for each observer, overall interobserver agreement, and interobserver agreement between pairs of observers were calculated by use of kappa (κ) statistics. The highest overall intermethod agreements were obtained for the main site of compression and direction of compression with substantial agreements (κ = 0.65 and 0.62, respectively), whereas the lowest was obtained for right-sided foraminal stenosis (κ = 0.39, fair agreement). For both imaging techniques, the highest and lowest interobserver agreements were recorded for the main site of compression and degree of articular joint proliferation, respectively. While different observers frequently agree on the main site of compression using both imaging techniques, there is considerable variation between modalities and among observers when assessing articular process characteristics and foraminal stenosis. Caution should be exerted when comparing image interpretations from multiple observers.

“…Both dural areas and volumes for pmCT and MRM were significantly different (p values ranging between p ¼ 0.04 and p < 0.001 each) between normal levels and levels with pathologic alterations using the Mann-Whitney U test. The 14 Melhem, 15 Stafira et al, 16 and Wang et al 17 supported these findings for cervical spine disorders. Birchall et al 18 prospec-tively evaluated the accuracy of conventional MRI and MRM for the demonstration of foraminal nerve root impingement in 40 patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy.…”

La radiculopatía cervical es una disfunción de una raíz nerviosa de la columna cervical. La séptima raíz (C7) se compromete en un 60% de los casos y la sexta (C6) en un 25%. A menudo, las raíces nerviosas cervicales son las más afectadas en nuestro medio. Aproximadamente el 10% de la población adulta ha tenido dolor en el cuello en algún momento de su vida. Esta prevalencia es similar al dolor lumbar, pero muy pocos pacientes con dolor cervical se incapacitan y menos del 1% desarrolla déficit neurológico. Los trastornos clínicos que afectan la columna cervical pueden ser categorizados como la causa principal del dolor en el cuello. Estos trastornos son los que con mayor frecuencia causan dolor en las extremidades o disfunción neurológica. Las patologías que involucran dolor en el cuello son: esguince cervical, síndrome de compresión interna de disco o dolor discogénico, dolor cervical de tipo latigazo de origen neuropático y dolor miofascial. Los trastornos que de manera predominante causan síntomas en las extremidades o con disfunción neurológica incluyen la radiculopatía cervical y mielopatía cervical espondilótica. Los factores asociados con mayor riesgo son el trabajo manual pesado que requiere el levantamiento de más de 25 libras, el tabaquismo y conducir o utilizar equipo vibratorio. Otras causas menos frecuentes son los tumores de la columna vertebral, una ampliación de quiste sinovial, condromatosis sinovial, arteritis y las infecciones de la columna vertebral.En este artículo se estudian los conceptos contemporáneos del tratamiento de la radiculopatía cervical mediante la evaluación
