Spinal cord demyelination predicts neurological deterioration in patients with mild degenerative cervical myelopathy by Jefferson R Wilson, David Anderson, Stephan Duplessis, Julien Cohen-Adad, David W Cadotte, Nathan Evaniew, Jacques Bouchard, Michael Craig, Abdul Al-Shawwa, Kalum Ost, Steve Casha, W Bradley Jacobs, Saswati Tripathy, Peter Lewkonia, Fred Nicholls, Alex Soroceanu, Ganesh Swamy, Kenneth C Thomas, Michael MH Yang, Nicholas Dea

“…Key predictors included MT ratio (demyelination) above the MCCL in the dorsal and ventral funiculi and moderate tingling in the arm, shoulder or hand. qMRI metrics significantly improved predictive performance compared to models using only clinical (bal. acc=68.1%) or imaging data (bal. acc=57.4%).Conclusions Reduced myelin content in the dorsal and ventral funiculi above the site of compression, combined with sensory deficits in the hands and gait/balance disturbances, predicts 6-month neurological deterioration in mild DCM and may warrant early surgical intervention.…”
