Hyperpathia 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...
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...
متن کاملDelayed Surgical Intervention in Central Cord Syndrome with Cervical Stenosis
Study Design Review of the literature. Objective It is generally accepted that surgical treatment is necessary for central cord syndrome (CCS) with an underlying cervical stenosis. However, the surgical timing for decompression is controversial in spondylotic cervical CCS. The purpose of this study is to review the results of early and delayed surgery in patients with spondylotic cervical CCS. ...
متن کاملCentral 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 کاملDropped-head syndrome resulting from injury to the central spinal cord at the upper cervical level.
There are many causes of paraspinal muscle weakness which give rise to the dropped-head syndrome. 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. ...
