What complication is occurring for a person who has a spinal cord injury above T6 and is experiencing paroxysmal hypertension ans has piloerection and sweating above the spinal cord lesion?
Autonomic hyperreflexia
Why is it that you got paralyzed when your spinal cord gets damaged?
first of all we all know that the spinal cord contains the the motor alfa that is the motor neuron that causes the muscle to contract,so when the spinal cord gets damaged no stimulation arrives to the muscles below the lesion level..
Is a newborn paralyzed immediately if it has Spina Bifida?
No, not necessarily. The level of paralysis is dependent on the level of the lesion, what vertebrae were affected and whether the lesion was open and the spinal cord and nerves were exposed.
If the ventral roots are destroyed can impulses reach the spinal cord?
In short, Yes.A majority of the "signals" that travel through the ventral roots are motor "signals" going out to the periphery from the spinal cord. As such, the signals have already "reached" the spinal cord from the brain or another region of the spinal cord.Thus, A ventral root lesion will interrupt signals from reaching the periphery.
What is central cord syndrome?
Central cord syndrome is an "incomplete lesion," a condition in which only part of the spinal cord is affected. In central cord syndrome, there is greater weakness or outright paralysis of the upper extremities, as compared with the lower extremities.
What is the spinal condition where spinal cord grows and tightens the spinal cord?
