Imaging of Spinal Cord Injury: Acute Cervical Spinal Cord Injury, Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy, and Cord Herniation

Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI, 2016
We review the pathophysiology and imaging findings of acute traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI), cervical spondylotic myelopathy, and briefly review the much less common cord herniation as a unique cause of myelopathy. Acute traumatic SCI is devastating to the patient and the costs to society are staggering.

Cervical Spinal Cord Injury???A Public Catastrophe

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1987
Cervical spine cord injuries continue to be a major cause of death and disability for trauma victims. Motor vehicle trauma results in 500 to 650 quadriplegic patients per year. Most of the patients are cared for at Level I trauma centers which may not have a dedicated rehabilitation facility.

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.

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.

Cervical Spinal Cord Injury in Abused Children

Pediatric Emergency Care, 2008
Five infants and toddlers who sustained cervical spinal cord injury as the result of child abuse are described. Three cases are previously unreported. Diagnosis was complicated by coexistent brain injuries and their treatments, subtle and/or evolving paralysis, and central cord syndrome, in which arm function is diminished but leg function is preserved.

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 ...

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

Trigemino-cervical reflex in spinal cord injury

Neuroscience Letters, 2014
Abnormal enhancement of polysynaptic brainstem reflexes has been previously reported in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). We aimed to investigate trigemino-cervical reflex (TCR) in SCI since it may reflect alterations in the connections of trigeminal proprioceptive system and cervical motoneurons.
