| Abstract: | Spinal cord compression may lead to pain that is sometimes directed to areas far below the compression level. In certain cases, it may present as sciatica pain, knee pain or low back pain (LBP). These types of pain are called tract pain or funicular pain. Tract pain because of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) may lead to delays in the diagnosis and treatment of CSM in some cases, and sometimes unnecessary medical and surgical treatments. This study evaluated the results of four patients who presented to the outpatient clinic with complaints of LBP accompanying CSM findings. This study aims to present the improvement in low back pain as a result of anterior cervical microdiscectomy and cage procedure in four patients who presented with tract pain because of CSM, which is a rare condition. |
