Myelopathy is the gradual loss of nerve function caused by disorders of the spine. Myelopathy can be directly caused by spinal injury resulting in either reduced sensation or paralysis.
Cervical myelopathy is damage to the part of the spinal cord that is in the neck. The cervical spine begins at the base of the skull. It extends to the first seven vertebrae. There can be a block of the signals between the brain and the body.

Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is the leading cause of progressive spastic quadriparesis (muscle weakness affecting all four limbs) with loss of sensation below the neck (however, most people with cervical spondylosis have no impairment).
What is cervical spondylotic myelopathy?
Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a compression of the spinal cord in the neck.
One of the most common neck conditions that occurs with age is cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). Over time, the normal wear-and-tear effects of aging can lead to a narrowing of the spinal canal.

Cervical spondylotic myelopathy - Cervical spondylotic myelopathy occurs when there are degenerative changes that narrow the central (middle) spinal canal. This narrowing can injure the cervical spinal cord or cause it to function improperly.
TSP is now called HTLV-1 associated myelopathy/ tropical spastic paraparesis or HAM/TSP. The HTLV-1 retrovirus is thought to cause at least 80 percent of the cases of HAM/TSP by impairing the immune system.
Bone spurs and other irregularities caused by cervical spondylosis also may reduce the diameter of the canal that houses the spinal cord, resulting in cervical myelopathy.
