Subjects and methods: Prospective study, clinical and imaging diagnosis description of 31 cases that had multi-levels cervical stenosis at 108 Central Military Hospital from February, 2011 to October, 2015. Results and conclusion: The average age of patients was years. The male/female ratio was . The average illness duration was months. The patient's clinical condition was evaluated by JOA scale before surgery with 0 an average JOA score of ± . The median lordosis angle was and average ROM 0 angle was . Torg- avlov’s ratio of C5 was . The average diameter of anteroposterior (AP) of the cervical spinal canal on CT-Scanner at C3 was mm, C4: mm; C5: mm; C6: mm; C7: mm. Spinal cord hyperintensity on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was . * Keywords: Cervical stenosis; Clinical features; Imaging diagnosis. INTRODUCTION Cervical stenosis resulting from degeneration is a common spine disease in middle-aged people. It has various clinical symptoms at varying degrees such as neck pain, shoulder pain, radiculopathy or myelopathy. Treatment of cervical stenosis restores neurological functions, relieves pain, helps patients recuperate and bring them back to normal life. There are many treatment procedures that depend on the stage of the disease such as conservative treatment to operation.
