颈椎Modic改变与颈椎退行性疾病的关系

Correlation between Modic changes in cervical spine and cervical degenerative disease

目的：探讨颈椎Modic改变与颈椎退行性疾病之间的关系。方法对78例Modic改变患者的颈椎退行性疾病进行统计,分析其与Modic改变之间的关系。结果78例患者中30例（38．5%）诊断为轻度颈椎退行性疾病,26例（33．3%）诊断为中度颈椎退行性疾病,22例（28．2%）诊断为重度颈椎退行性疾病。结论颈椎Modic改变好发于老年患者,以Ⅱ型改变居多,多发生于C5-6、C6-7节段,与颈椎退行性疾病的程度无明显关系。

Objective To investigate the association between Modic changes in cervical spine and cervical degenera-tive disease. Methods 78 outpatients with both Modic changes in cervical spine and cervical degenerative disease were calculated. The correlation between Modic changes in cervical spine and cervical degenerative disease were ana-lyzed. Results 30 patients （38. 5%） were diagnosed with mild cervical degenerative disease;26 （33. 3%） were diagnosed with moderate cervical degenerative disease, 22 （28. 2%） were diagnosed with severe cervical degenera-tive disease. Conclusions Modic changes in cervical spine often occurs in old patients, mostly type Ⅱ, in C5-6 , C6-7 segments. There is no obvious correlation between Modic changes and the severity of cervical degenerative dis-ease.
