Can cervical stenosis cause memory loss?

  Recently looking through my home file of labs and testing I came accross an mri i had last year which states i have a cervical stenosis in the left vertebral area of c6&7- could my memory loss be from a stenosis in this area or is it more likely to be a sleping disorder or a combination of both?

  Any info or advice is greatly appreciated.

Cervical stenosis is not in any way related to memory loss.

Hi.

How long have you been having memory loss? What kind of memory loss do you experience? Short-term? Long-term?

It would be unlikely for the cervical stenosis to cause your memory loss. Is there anything you experienced that leads you to suspect a sleeping disorder?
