I have had Myelomalcia in the cervical spine at C6-7 levels and focal cord atrophy with loss of disc height at the same area.

I have had prior issues of the cervical spine which includes stenosis and kyphosis. From the kyphosis Harrington Rods were inserted from C3 to T5 levles and a fusion done anterior at 2 levels I believe. Have to check which levels.

My surgeon is afraid to touch me surgically at this point. Lots of reasons. But I was under the impression that there wasn't too much that they could do for the myelomalacia,

In looking at prior records I note that the term myelomalacia was in MRI reports going back to 1996 or maybe earlier. Have to double check. But in comparing the films it is noted that it has progressed somewhat over the years.

Not sure what the right answer but again I thought treatment options were minimal at best.
