Acute Hydrocephalus Following Cervical Spinal Cord Injury
We present a case of acute hydrocephalus secondary to cervical spinal cord injury in a patient with diffuse ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). A 75-year-old male patient visited the emergency department with tetraparesis and spinal shock. Imaging studies showed cervical spinal cord injury with hemorrhage and diffuse OPLL from C1 to C4. We performed decompressive laminec...

متن کاملSynaptic pathways to phrenic motoneurons are enhanced by chronic intermittent hypoxia after cervical spinal cord injury.
Spinal hemisection at C2 reveals caudal synaptic pathways that cross the spinal midline (crossed phrenic pathways) and can restore inspiratory activity in ipsilateral phrenic motoneurons. Intermittent hypoxia induces plasticity in the cervical spinal cord, resulting in enhanced inspiratory phrenic motor output. We hypothesized that chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) (alternating 11% O(2) and ai...
متن کاملClinical assessment following acute cervical spinal cord injury.
A cute traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) affects 12 000 to 15 000 people in North America each year. The functional consequences of an acute SCI are variable; therefore, the initial clinical presentation of patients with an acute SCI is a key factor in determining triage, defining therapy, and predicting prognosis. The patient must be assessed with an accurate, consistent, and reproducible neu...
متن کاملFatal hyperthermia following acute cervical spinal cord and head injury
A 22-year-old man with schizophrenia presented with cervical spine damage caused by a crush injury. Upon admission, we performed anterior cervical decompression and fusion of vertebrae C5, C6, and C7. The patient experienced treatment-resistant hyperthermia with a body temperature >40°C. He did not show any evidence of drug use that might induce malignant hyperthermia. He also did not exhibit s...
