Abstract
The expression “Cervical Myelopathy” covers every illness of the cervical cord. For damages of spinal cord caused by alterations of the spinal column we suggest the term “Spondylogenic Myelopathy”. The degenerative spondylogenic myelopathy characterizes a lesion by osteochondrosis or spondylosis — mostly of the cervical spine (2).
