To create this list, we started with the words that give our users the most trouble and then ranked them by how frequently they appear in our corpus of billions of words from edited sources. If you only have time to study one list of words, this is the list.
CSF cytology and HIV serology were both negative. EMG, however, confirmed the clinical findings of polyradiculopathy. T1W and T2W MRI of the lumbar spine demonstrated diffuse thickening of the nerve roots of the cauda equina, which enhanced following intravenous gadolinium administration (Figs. 1 and 2). No parenchymal involvement was seen.
When nerve roots in the cervical spine are compressed or âpinched,â the result can be pain and stiffness in the neck radiating pain to the upper back, shoulder, and arms. Numbness and, if the pressure is severe enough, weakness may occur. This is called cervical radiculopathy. If the sensory nerves between the first and second or second and third cervical levels are pinched, headaches (cephalgia) can also result. Headaches caused from a pinched nerve in the neck may be called cervicogenic headaches and greater occipital neuralgia.
