A member asked:
Could advanced cervical spinal stenosis cause vagus nerve damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vagus nerve / spine: Spinal stenosis should not affect the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve is safely outside of the spinal canal. In spinal stenosis, it is the spinal canal that becomes narrowed.
