Term
Anterior cord syndrome
Definition

Damage to anterior spinal artery or spinal cord tissue.

Loss of motor function below level of injury and other sensations.

Light touch  typically unaffected.

Term
Brown sequards syndrome
Definition

One side of the spinal cord is damaged.

Extremities with the greatest strength typically have poorest sensation.

 

Term

Brown sequards syndrome

continued

ipsilateral

and contralateral

Definition

-loss of motor function, reduction in deep touch and proprioceptive awareness.

-loss of pain, temperature, and touch.

Term
central cord syndrome
Definition

-often seen with structural changes to vertebrae.

-Motor and sensory in UE more impaired than LE.

-potential for flaccid paralysis of UE

Term
Cauda Equina injuries
Definition

Injury to spinal nerves below end of spinal cord.

Some chance of nerve recovery since injury is to peripheral nerves...regeneration may occur.

Loss of motor and sensation below injury, LMN injury.

absence reflex arc.
