| Abstract | Purpose: We had found out possibilities that cases with spondylotic myelopathy at middle-low cervical level (SM) could cause to intermittent dyspnea (ID). The ID was uncommon symptom of the disease without detecting any abnormalities in routine spirometry. Decompression procedure for spinal cord improved the symptom. The current purpose is that mechanisms of the symptom are examined. Subjects and method: Examinations were made of two normal subjects and four patients with SM. All the patients had complained ID and had been diagnosed by cervical MRI. Respiratory movements of thorax (RMT) and that of abdominal wall (RMA) were recorded simultaneously through two strain-gage belts rolled at nipple and navie. Subjects were laid and kept natural respiration under making their neck flat (NF) or retro flexion (NR). Results: In normal subjects, both RMT and RMA were so synchronized as to keep under the different conditions. In two patients, NR decreased velocity of only RMT. In another patient, hyperventilation was caused from NR. The other patient showed normal pattern. Conclusion: We thought that etiology of ID in SM could be two candidates; one is the dissociation between RMT and RMA and the other is hyperventilation. Both candidates could be caused on cervical cord compression. |
