Overview
The most important risk factors in the development of spinal cord compression are cervical spondylosis, atlantoaxial instability, congenital conditions (tethered cord), osteoporosis, ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis of the cervical spine.[1]
Risk factors
Common risk factors in the development of spinal cord compression include: [1]
- Cervical spondylosis
- Atlantoaxial instability
- Congenital conditions (tethered cord)
- Osteoporosis
- Ankylosing spondylitis
- Rheumatoid arthritis of the cervical spine
Less common risk factors
- IV drug abuse
- Immunocompromised codition
