Popis: 1. Patients with dynamic cervical myelopathy had a clinical instability. All of them had a cervical pain and consecutive loss of mention stiffness. Three of them had in addition Lhermitte’s sign. 2. They had also a radiological instability because anterior impingement with medullary compression was always observed in extension in this population of patients. In a physiologic condition, cervical disc budge in flexion and not in extension [1]. 3. Last, during the surgery, we observed in all cases a degenerative disc with an excessive motion between the two adjacent vertebrae corroborating chronic joint instability.
