Symptoms of cervical syndrome?

summary

The injury of cervical spinal cord is a very serious injury, which often leads to death or disability. Let's talk about the symptoms of cervical syndrome.

Symptoms of cervical syndrome?

The lower cervical spinal cord injury appeared limb paralysis below the injury level, and the upper limb presented segmental sensory and motor disorders. Due to the paralysis of the thoracic respiratory muscles, the patient only had abdominal breathing, accompanied by sphincter dysfunction and Horner syndrome.

Complete paraplegia, which is as serious as complete rupture, may appear immediately after partial injury, or the symptoms may gradually worsen within a few days with the development of spinal cord hemorrhage and edema. If it is only spinal cord concussion, the function of spinal cord can be recovered gradually in a few days or weeks.

Upper cervical spinal cord injury is prone to quadriplegia. If the diaphragm and intercostal muscles are paralyzed, dyspnea may occur, which often leads to rapid death. Complete spinal cord rupture can immediately lead to complete flaccid paralysis. All kinds of senses and reflexes below the level of injury disappear and can not be recovered.
