Abstract

BACKGROUND: Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) represents a prevalent etiology of neurological dysfunction, for which cervical decompression surgery (CDS) constitutes the principal therapeutic intervention. Advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques are crucial in elucidating the cerebral alterations associated with neuroinjury resulting from DCM.
