Spinal cord injury and degenerative cervical myelopathy

2022
Spinal cord injury (SCI) often results in impaired respiratory function. Paresis or paralysis of inspiratory and expiratory muscles can lead to respiratory dysfunction depending on the level and severity of the injury, which can affect the management and care of SCI patients.

Pulmonary Edema in Cervical Spinal Cord Injury

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1978
A 15-year-old patient with acute cervical spine injury (C5) and pulmonary edema is presented. There was no craniocerebral injury. Causes other than the injury are excluded. Acute cervical spine injury appears to be another cause of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema.

Cervical Spinal Cord Injury and Deglutition Disorders

Dysphagia, 2004
The association of cervical spinal cord injury and swallowing disorders is clinically well recognized. This study was performed to determine the clinical significance and the outcome of deglutition disorders observed in the initial treatment of cervical spinal cord injury in our tertiary care spinal cord injury unit.

Management of Acute Cervical Spinal Cord Injury

The Neurologist, 2001
Spinal cord injury affects approximately 10,000 new persons each year in the United States. Motor vehicle crashes, violence, and falls are the most common causes. The purpose of this review is to provide a rational management strategy for treating acute cervical spinal cord injuries.History-taking in these patients should focus on a few key points ...

▪ Respiratory Complications After Cervical Spinal Cord Injury

Spine, 1994
Sixty-five consecutive cases of acute cervical spinal cord injuries were reviewed retrospectively for respiratory complications.The objectives were to identify factors that may contribute to respiratory dysfunction and to evaluate therapeutic measures designed to reduce respiratory complications.Respiratory complications continue to be a major cause of

Metrizamide Myelography for Cervical Spinal Cord Injuries

Radiology, 1978
The authors describe a simple myelographic technique for cervical spinal cord injuries, involving lateral puncture at C1--C2 and injection of metrizamide with the patient supine. This technique is reliable and offers advantages over Pantopaque and/or gas myelography.

Acute Cervical Spinal Cord Injury

1992
Because of the significant mortality, CNS effects, and often overwhelming physiological responses from other organ systems, this report will deal with some of the critical care management problems associated with acute cervical cord trauma (ACCT).

Oculosympathetic Spasm With Cervical Spinal Cord Injury

Archives of Neurology, 1984
A 23-year-old man, involved in a motor-vehicle accident, became quadraparetic due to cervical spinal cord injury at the C-4 to C-6 level. Five months later he was noted to have bilateral, asymmetric pupillary mydriasis precipitated by elevation and stretch of an arm or leg. Pharmacologic pupillary testing and ciliospinal reflex responses suggested that

Bronchial Hyperresponsiveness After Cervical Spinal Cord Injury

Chest, 1994
Cervical spinal cord injury results in interruption of sympathetic airway innervation, which originates from the upper thoracic spine, whereas parasympathetic nerve supply, arising in the vagal nuclei of the brainstem, remains intact. To assess the effect of such an altered neural environment on airway reactivity, bronchoprovocation testing was ...

Neurologic Deterioration After Cervical Spinal Cord Injury

Journal of Spinal Disorders, 1998
Neurologic deterioration after cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) at a regional spinal cord center was examined. This study examined the incidence of neurologic deterioration as well as associated risk factors in our patient population. Up to 5.8% of cervical SCI patients have been noted to deteriorate neurologically after admission.
