CENTROMEDULLAR CERVICAL MYELOPATHY: THE ROLE OF SPONDYLOGENIC FACTOR AND «TIGHT CISTERNA MAGNA» SYNDROME

Abstract

The authors discuss the role of spondylogenic factor and «tight cistern magna» syndrome for the centromedullar cervical myelopathy development. Results of their own investigations were presented.

Keywords
