Traumatic Central Cord Syndrome
Journal Title: The Indian Practitioner - Year 2014, Vol 67, Issue 7
Abstract
The most common incomplete cervical spinal injury is central cord syndrome. As defined by Schneider et al in 1954, there is disproportionately greater motor deficit in the upper limbs than in the lower limbs. In this prospective study, 26 in-patients with cervical spine injury with greater motor loss in the upper limbs following the injury were selected. Based on clinical status and radiological findings, 19 were operated upon. Results at 6 weeks and 6 month follow up are discussed. Overall, the results of surgery in these cases were rewarding.
