Acute Severe Autonomic Dysreflexia during Spinal Cord Intramedullary Tumor Resectione
Background & Importance: Acute autonomic system impairment can be dangerous and life-threatening, and a clinician should be aware of its occurrence possibility. According to the anatomy of this system, spinal cord lesions could disturb its function. There are many reports of autonomic dysreflexia in spinal cord i njuries especially spinal cord trauma. Case Presentation: A 28 year-o...
متن کاملPenile vibratory stimulation for men with spinal cord injury.
Most men with spinal cord injury cannot ejaculate via sexual intercourse (Bors and Comarr, 1960) and require medically assisted ejaculation procedures to obtain their semen. The most common procedures are penile vibratory stimulation (PVS) (Brackett et al., 1998) and electroejaculation (EEJ) (Bennett et al., 1988). It is recommended that PVS be used as the first line of treatment because it is ...
متن کاملAutonomic dysreflexia in a parturient with spinal cord injury.
Autonomic dysreflexia (ADR) is a syndrome of imbalanced reflex sympathetic discharge occurring in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) at or above the level of splanchnic sympathetic outflow (T6). We present the case of a 29 year-old, gravida 3, para 1 Caucasian female at 28 weeks gestation, with a history of T3 SCI secondary to a gunshot wound 9 years prior, who developed ADR during preterm ...
متن کاملCardiac Consequences of Autonomic Dysreflexia in Spinal Cord Injury.
Autonomic dysreflexia (AD), which describes episodic hypertension, is highly prevalent in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). In non-SCI, primary hypertension depresses cardiac contractile reserve via β-adrenergic mechanisms. In this study, we investigated whether AD contributes to the impairment in cardiac contractile function that accompanies SCI. We induced SCI in rodents and stratified th...
متن کاملAssessment of autonomic dysreflexia in patients with spinal cord injury.
OBJECTIVES AND METHODS To assess the impairment of supraspinal control over spinal sympathetic centres and the occurrence of autonomic dysreflexia in patients with spinal cord injury. Autonomic dysreflexia is caused by the disconnection of spinal sympathetic centres from supraspinal control and is characterised by paroxysmal hypertensive episodes caused by non-specific stimuli below the level o...
