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.

Scheuermann’s Kyphosis Following Cervical Spinal Cord Injury

The Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine, 2003
Scheuermann's kyphosis is an uncommon autosomal dominant disease that manifests as a progressive thoracic skeletal deformity. It can lead to severe restrictive lung disease or predispose to spinal cord injury (SCI). Neurologic sequelae are rarely reported in the literature.Case PresentationA 47-year-old man sustained a cervical SCI requiring surgical ...

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.

Cervical Spinal Cord Injury During Skeletal Traction

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1974
Two elderly men with cervical spondylosis and cervical fractures were placed in skeletal traction. Thereafter, both had roentgenographic evidence of distraction with spinal cord injury. (JAMA229:181-183, 1974)

[Acute cervical spinal cord injury].

Masui. The Japanese journal of anesthesiology, 2013
Cervical spinal cord injury is a tragic trauma causing immediate serious quadriplegia and respiratory paralysis. In unstable injuries with paralysis, emergency surgery must be performed immediately to achieve spinal cord decompression and spinal column stabilization.

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.

Trigemino-cervical-spinal reflexes after traumatic spinal cord injury

Clinical Neurophysiology, 2015
After spinal cord injury (SCI) reorganization of spinal cord circuits occur both above and below the spinal lesion. These functional changes can be determined by assessing electrophysiological recording. We aimed at investigating the trigemino-cervical reflex (TCR) and trigemino-spinal reflex (TSR) responses after traumatic SCI.TCR and TSR were ...
