Central cord syndrome.
Central cord syndrome is the most common type of incomplete spinal cord injury. This syndrome most often occurs in older persons with underlying cervical spondylosis caused by a hyperextension mechanism. It also occurs in younger persons who sustain trauma to the cervical spine and, less commonly, as a result of nontraumatic causes. The upper extremities are more affected than the lower extremi...
متن کاملHyperpathia in the central cervical cord syndrome.
Seven patients are described with hyperextension or flexion injury to the cervical cord. They illustrate the symptoms and signs previously associated with damage to the centre of the cord, in that weakness is greater in the upper limbs than the lower. We do not believe that the relative sparing of the legs can be accounted for on the basis that corticospinal fibres passing to the lumbar anterio...

A review of 77 patients with traumatic central cord syndrome revealed that atypical variations are more common than the existing literature suggests and that these may be seen in a wide variety of acute injuries to the cervical spine. In general the outcome is good; a favourable prognosis on admission is suggested by good hand function, hyperpathia, Lhermitte's sign and normal perianal sensatio...
متن کاملThe long-term outcome after central cord syndrome: a study of the natural history.
We studied 32 patients with central cord syndrome who were managed conservatively. Six were under 50 years of age (group 1), 16 between 50 and 70 years (group 2) and ten over 70 years (group 3). At the time of discharge all patients in group 1 could walk independently and had good bladder control compared with 11 (69%) and 14 (88%) in group 2 and four (40%) and two (20%) in group 3, respectivel...
متن کاملThe 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. Myelography in each case showed significant anterior compression of the spinal cord. The rapid improvement in function following the operation in these patients was gratifying and emphasizes the p...
