Abstract
A wide-based spastic gait is the classical presentation of the patient with cervical spondylotic myelopathy. A complete neurologic evaluation is needed to determine the degree of involvement and to classify the clinical syndrome. The natural history seems to be one of static neurologic deficit or episodic progression.
