颈椎病是一种以退行性改变为基础的综合征，X线、CT及MRI检查等(食管型颈椎病还可参考钡餐造影和食管内窥镜检查)均对该病有较好的敏感性、准确性，联合使用以上检查方法，综合分析临床症状和影像学表现，大大提高颈椎病早期诊断与鉴别诊断，有助于临床确立更为针对有效的治疗方法。汇总近3年不同类型颈椎病的发病机制、临床常见症状及其相应影像学表现的研究文献，进行归纳总结，希望对该病的临床诊断及鉴别提供思路。

Cervical spondylosis is a disease based on degenerative pathological changes, abnormal X-ray, CT, MRI manifestations(the diagnosis of esophagus type cervical spondylosis can also refer to dynamic esophagogram and esophageal endoscope) all reflect the disease handily and accurately. The combination of all the inspection techniques, together with comprehensive analysis of clinical symptoms and imaging manifestations, may improve the early and differential diagnosis of cervical spondylosis. It is helpful for the clinical establishment of more effective treatment methods. This study summarized the researches on pathogenesis, common clinical symptoms and corresponding imaging manifestations of different types of cervical spondylosis in the past 3 years. It is hoped to provide ideas for the clinical and differential diagnosis of the disease.
