Abstract

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) most probably has multi factorial causes. In Japan several prior studies have identified that dynamic spinal canal stenosis was found in a high rate than developmental canal stenosis among elderly CSM patients. Therefore, degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS) of cervical spine may characterize CSM in the elderly.
