Article Abstract
Patients with ankylosing spondylitis are at significant risk for sustaining cervical spine injuries following trauma predisposed by kyphosis, stiffness and osteoporotic bone quality of the spine. The risk of sustaining neurological deficits in this patient population is higher than average. The present review article provides an outline on the specific injury patterns in the cervical spine, diagnostic algorithms and specific treatment modalities dictated by the underlying disease in patients with ankylosing spondylitis. An emphasis is placed on the risks and complication patterns in the treatment of these rare, but challenging injuries.

Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) is a fibrous histiocytic tumor originating in the synovial membrane. While cervical TGCT may not be considered a common diagnosis preoperatively because it is relatively rare, it has a high recurrence rate and should be considered. Total resection is preferable, but it can be challenging due to the risk of damaging the vertebral artery.

Unlabelled: One of the most probable and controversial hypotheses regarding the etiology of essential arterial hypertension, is the increase in arterial pressure due to intracranial ischemia, for various reasons, particularly because of cervical osteochondrosis. The daily arterial blood pressure dynamics is of interest when attempting non-pharmacological induced correction of arterial pressure by manual and physical effects on the cervical spine.
Objective: To evaluate daily arterial pressure dynamics in patients with essential arterial hypertension who received non-pharmacological treatment by manual-physical action on the cervical spine (A.

Unlabelled: Essential arterial hypertension (EAH) is a chronic non-communicable disease (CNCD), that develops in parallel with other pathologies of the CNCD group, the presence of which is promoted by hypodynamia with consequent disturbance of aerobic energy supply processes. These disorders include, in particular, degenerative-dystrophic processes of the locomotor system, comprising of the cervical spine. In turn, development of these processes can additionally worsen hemodynamics with disturbance of the oxygen transfer processes.

Background: Cervical interlaminar epidural steroid injections (CIESI) are frequently used to treat cervical radiculopathy due to cervical nerve root impingement.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of CIESI for patients with cervical radiculopathy.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of consecutive adult patients with cervical radicular pain and corroborative cervical spondylotic foraminal stenosis on MRI that failed at least 6 weeks of conservative management consisting of medication and physical rehabilitation seen at a multidisciplinary, tertiary academic spine center.
