The syndrome of acute central cervical spinal cord injury revisited.
Seven patients with acute central cervical spinal cord injury were operated upon during the subacute stages following injury, when their condition had improved and become stable for seven to ten days.

متن کاملAcute Hydrocephalus Following Cervical Spinal Cord Injury
We present a case of acute hydrocephalus secondary to cervical spinal cord injury in a patient with diffuse ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). A 75-year-old male patient visited the emergency department with tetraparesis and spinal shock. Imaging studies showed cervical spinal cord injury with hemorrhage and diffuse OPLL from C1 to C4.

In the upper cervical spine the central portion of the spinal cord innervates the cervical paraspinal muscles. Dropped-head syndrome resulting from injury to the central spinal cord at this level has not previously been described. We report two patients who were treated acutely for this condition. ...
