Patient's question:
Doctor, my father is 56 years old this year. He always says his spine hurts a lot, so I took him to the hospital for a thorough examination. It was found that he has spinal canal cyst. I would like to ask, what are the clinical manifestations of spinal canal cyst? Why didn't he notice it before?Doctor's answer:
Spinal cord is a chronic degenerative inflammation of the spinal cord. Its clinical manifestations mainly include segmental sensory disturbances and limb weakness, as well as recurrent anhidrosis. This disease is relatively difficult to diagnose based on clinical manifestations alone. It is usually diagnosed through a thorough magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine. As a result, it is often detected late. Treatment primarily focuses on surgery combined with nerve nutrition therapy.
