Cervical spondylotic amyotrophy (CSA) has attracted more and more attention in recent years, according to early studies, it is based on cervical degeneration, and mainly characterized by segmental, asymmetric and stable muscular atrophy of upper extremities, with or without mild sensory abnormalities and spinal cord lesions (manifested as lower extremity symptoms and gait abnormalities), also known as Keegan's cervical spondylosis. This review will focusing on recent research progress of CSA, and summarize and analyze the definition, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of cervical spondylosis muscular atrophy.
