Article Synopsis
- This study is a retrospective cohort analysis that investigates how cervical disc degeneration relates to disease progression in patients with Hirayama disease, specifically looking at changes in cervical intervertebral disc space height.
- Researchers analyzed data from 35 patients with Hirayama disease and 35 healthy controls, focusing on cervical disc grades and intervertebral space heights from the second to the seventh cervical vertebrae.
- Results showed significant reductions in intervertebral disc height and increased disc degeneration in Hirayama patients, indicating a potential compensatory mechanism at play.*
