Expanding lesions of the cervical spinal canal.
Attention has recently been directed to decrease in size of the spinal canal, notably in relation to production of posterior osteophytes in spondylosis. Tumors of the cord, roots, or meninges, syringolmyelia and hydromyelia may enlarge sufficiently in size or be critically located so that expansile change of the cervical spinal canal may result.
