A Case of Hemiplegia following Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy accompanied by cerebral infarct

초록

Cervical spondylotic myelopathy is one of the most frequent causes of neurological impairment in the elderly population. Cerebral infarction is another common disease inducing neurological impairment in elderly populations. The concomitant occurrence of cervical myelopathy and cerebral infarction is very rare. Therefore, it is difficult to differentiate the cause of motor weakness with cerebrovascular disease in myelopathy patients. We report a rare case of cervical spondylotic myelopathy accompanied by cerebral infarct.
