What is an posterior spina cord injury?

A posterior spinal cord injury refers to damage specifically affecting the posterior columns of the spinal cord, which are responsible for sensory functions such as proprioception, vibration sense, and fine touch. This type of injury can lead to a condition known as "posterior cord syndrome," characterized by loss of these sensory modalities while preserving pain and temperature sensation, which are transmitted through the anterior pathways. Such injuries can result from trauma, compression, or diseases affecting the spinal cord, and may lead to significant mobility and functional challenges.
