Neck Conditions & Diseases

Degenerative arthritis of the cervical spine causing wear and tear of the vertebrae and discs.

Compression or irritation of a cervical nerve root leading to radiating pain and neurological deficits.

Bulging or rupture of an intervertebral disc in the neck, pressing on spinal nerves.

Narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck, potentially compressing the spinal cord.

Progressive spinal cord dysfunction caused by compression in the cervical region.

Rapid hyperextension and flexion of the neck, commonly from motor vehicle collisions.

Overstretching or tearing of neck muscles or tendons.

Degeneration of the small joints between cervical vertebrae causing pain and stiffness.

Neurological movement disorder causing involuntary neck muscle contractions and abnormal postures.

Presence of an extra rib arising from the cervical spine that can compress neurovascular structures.

Break in one of the cervical vertebrae, often due to trauma.

Collection of pus behind the pharynx that can cause neck swelling and airway compromise.

Inflammation of the thyroid gland, often presenting as a painful neck mass.

Enlargement of the thyroid gland that may cause visible neck swelling.

A lump within the thyroid gland, usually discovered as a neck mass.

Inflammation of the lymph nodes in the neck, often due to infection.

Tear in the wall of the carotid artery that can cause neck pain and neurological symptoms.

Cancer of the lymphatic tissue in the neck, presenting as persistent lymph node enlargement.

Abnormal growth within or adjacent to the cervical spinal cord or vertebrae.

Inflammation of the meninges that often presents with neck stiffness and systemic signs.

Degenerative cervical spine disease causing spinal cord compression.

Involuntary contraction of neck muscles often due to overuse or stress.

Degenerative joint disease affecting the cervical vertebrae and facet joints.

Age‑related loss of disc height and hydration in the neck.

Forward slipping of one cervical vertebra over another, potentially compressing nerves.

Fluid‑filled sac arising from facet joint capsule that can compress neural structures.

Damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve during neck surgery or trauma.

Enlarged lymph nodes in the neck due to reactive or infectious causes.

Early stage of spinal cord compression from cervical spondylosis with subtle symptoms.

Rare adverse effect of anesthetic injection causing temporary neck weakness or pain.

Advanced cervical spondylosis leading to spinal cord involvement.
