6 Session Objectives If you leave this session with a clear understanding of the standard-of-care for DCM then I have not done my job
7 Outline Definition Pathophysiology Clinical Presentation Differential Diagnosis Treatment Options Summary
8 DCM- Definition Spinal Cord or Nerve Root Dysfunction From anatomical compression as a result of spine column degeneration Disc herniation Spondylosis, spurs, arthritis, osteophytes, facet hypertrophy May be predisposed to someone with congenitally small spinal canal (short pedicles) Vascular compromise Combination of the above
9 Demographics Rarely under the age of 50 Incidence 2002 = 10 per 100, = 21 per 100,000 United Kingdom = 1.6 per 100,000 Cost in US Hospital Charges 5.3 B, Physician 1.32 B Leading indication for surgery on the CNS.
10 Pathophysiology Cervical Spondylosis (Arthritis) and disc degeneration- A natural Consequence of Aging. Genetics also play a role Know these Spinal cord compression = Myelopathy Nerve Root Compression= Radiculopathy
11 Pathophysiology Disc- Annulus Fibrosis (outer layer) - fibrous, rich in collagen, tensile strength Nucleus Pulposus (inner layer)- compression strength Both are necessary for seamless integration of the disc functionbending, rotation, load distribution, shock absorption Osteophytes (spurs)- Form as a natural response of the spine to accommodate to repetitive physiologic loads (the more weight you carry, the quicker all this occurs) Nerve Root Compression=Radiculopathy
12 Dermatomes You should have a good command of these
13 Clinical Presentation- Myelopathy Symptoms Gait disturbance falling, imbalance, unsteadiness Neck Pain and Stiffness Unilateral/ Bilateral Limb Body Pain Upper extremity weakness, numbness, loss of dexterity Lower extremity stiffness (spasticity), weakness, sensory loss Paresthesias (pins and needles sensation) Autonomic Symptoms bowel and bladder dysfunction, erectile dysfunction (rare) Bilateral Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is unusual and DCM should be considered in the face of this presentation.
14 Hypereflexia/Spasticity
15 Gait Disturbance COMPREHENSIVE NEUROSCIENCE CLINICS
16 Natural History Mixed- and variable, no consistent pattern. may manifest as a slow, stepwise decline or there may be a long period of quiescence Long periods of severe stenosis are associated with demyelination and may result in necrosis (myelomalacia) of both gray and white matter. With severe and/or long lasting DCM symptoms, the likelihood of improvement with non-operative measures is low. Objectively measurable deterioration is rarely seen acutely in patients younger than 75 years of age with mild DCM (modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association scale score > 12; Class I). In patients with cervical stenosis without myelopathy, the presence of abnormal electromyography findings or the presence of clinical radiculopathy is associated with the development of symptomatic DCM in this patient population (Class I). Conclusions. The natural history of DCM is variable, which may affect treatment decisions. (DOI: / SPINE08716)
17 Natural History Indolent, insidious, pernicious course Incidental spinal cord compression- 59% ages (range 32% in 40 s, to 67 % in 70 s) 22% of asymptomatic individual will develop DCM within 4 years. Delay in diagnosis is significant problem due to insidious course- average 2.2 yrs., average 5 consultations before diagnosis is made. Poor awareness of disease Overlap with natural history of aging, other diseases Delay in treatment means poorer outcomes Optimal outcomes- if diagnosed within 3-6 months of onset of symptoms.
18 Natural History The symptoms may precede objective exam findings. Similar to other CNS disorders, examination features in DCM have a low sensitivity- i.e.- normal findings do NOT exclude the disease. This is of note in our case example, and demonstrates the lack of sensitivity of our exam for subtle neurologic changes. She complained of loss of fine coordinated movement, conspicuous spasticity Yet my rudimentary exam of her proprioception was unremarkable Take home messages- listen, do a full exam, scan and test when in doubt On the other hand, abnormal findings are highly suggestive of the disease.
19 Clinical Presentation- Radiculopathy The myotome and dermatome correspond to each other.

28 Diagnostic Workup- MR Disc Bulge/ Early Disc Degeneration
29 Diagnostic Workup- MR Herniated Disc
30 Small Group Case Presentation Complaints- unable to identify pocket change yet proprioception normal Life and Medicine are full of inconsistencies The symptoms may precede objective exam findings. Similar to other CNS disorders, examination features in DCM have a low sensitivity- i.e.- normal findings do NOT exclude the disease. On the other hand, abnormal findings are highly suggestive of the disease. There are significant limits to our ability to test and identify subtle neurologic deficits. Psychometrics- 1/1000 of a second.
31 Differential Diagnosis
32 Differential Diagnosis- Syringomyelia
33 Differential Diagnosis B12 Deficiency
34 Differential Diagnosis- Spinal Cord Tumors, Vascular Malformations
35 Differential Diagnosis- Metabolic Syndromes Alcoholic B12 Difficiency Transverse Myelitis Diabetes Multiple Sclerosis Aging (idiopathic) ALS
36 Why is the differential diagnosis important? % of imaging pathology in asymptomatic patients by age Disc Degeneration 30 s 40 s 50 s 60 s 70 s 52% 68% 80% 88% 93% Disc Bulge 40% 50% 60% 69% 77% Annular Tear 20% 22% 23% 25% 27% Facet Degeneration 9% 18% 32% 50% 69% Spondylolisthesis 5% 8% 14% 23% 35% Take Home Message Treat the patient not the image Do NOT assume imaging pathology is clinically relevant in spine disease. This is why the clinical correlation is so important
37 Guideline Development Multidisciplinary Collaboration Reviewers trained before project started Conflicts of Interest Disclosed Level of Evidence Grades of Recommendation A: Good Evidence (Level I studies with consistent findings) B: Fair Evidence (Level II or III studies w consistent evidence) C: Poor Quality Evidence (Level IV or V studies) I: Insufficient or conflicting evidence Guideline Development Process Quite labor intensive- Identify question, assign study group, search literature, analyze, formulate recommendations May 2009, NASS (North American Spine Society)
38 Disclaimer Take Home message- Guidelines are NOT standard of Care They do not apply to every scenario, good clinical judgment remains critical
39 Guideline Summary 24 Questions asked 179 Pages A- 1 (Outcome Measures) B- 13 C - 4 I (Insufficient Evidence)- 4 Consensus Required as no studies met any standard- 2 i.e.- Working Definition Definition and Natural History of Cervical Radiculopathy and Degenerative Disorders Minimum of 30 Maximum of 315 articles reviewed for each questions
40 Guideline Summary Take Home Message Much of what we accept as fact should not be Personal Bias
41 Pharmacotherapy A systematic review of the literature yielded no study to adequately address the role of pharmacotherapy in the management of cervical radiculopathy from degenerative disorders
42 Conservative Options Physical Therapy- Insufficient Evidence Chiropractic Therapy- No studies adequately address the role of chiropractic manipulation. Warning- it may do harm, so proceed with caution Epidural Steroid Injections- C Not without risk, short term benefits Others- Bracing, traction, electric stimulation, acupuncture, TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) all I insufficient evidence. My personal Bias- they are a waste of time money and effort (for myelopathy)
43 Buyer Beware
44 Many options Surgery- Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) Is it better that conservative care? Yes- - B ACDF (Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion, with instrumentation) Debatable if plate is necessary Posterior Lamino-foraminotomy- Work Group Consensus- for single level disease Anterior is better that posterior approach However
45 Surgery- Confusion abounds as to correct technique
