Understanding Diphycercal Vertebrae: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options
Diphycercal refers to a condition where there are two distinct cervical (neck) vertebrae present at the same level, instead of the usual single vertebra. This can occur due to various congenital or acquired conditions, such as spina bifida, meningomyelocele, or trauma.
Diphycercal vertebrae can cause a variety of symptoms, including neck pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion. In some cases, diphycercal vertebrae may also lead to nerve compression or other complications. Treatment options for diphycercal vertebrae depend on the underlying cause and severity of the condition, and may include physical therapy, bracing, or surgery.
