Is it necessary to do ACDF surgery as there is limited spinal fluid?
Patient: Hello, I just met with a neurosurgeon today and he is strongly recommending a ACDF on C5/6 and C6/7. He said it is a surgery I will not be able to avoid as my spinal fluid is extremely limited in those areas and he is afraid I could fall and end up with my spinal cord severed. Is this true? Thank you. Doctor: Dear Mr. Sorry for your health problems.If the diagnosis is made with magnetic resonance it is quite sure that the problem is and that way surgery is the only solution.I could be much help if you provide me MR answer and tell me about your symptoms.Wish you all the best
