The segment of spinal cord affected by central cord syndrome is the cervical segment, the part of the spinal cord that is encased within the first seven vertebrae, running from the base of the brain and into the neck.
As with other types of spinal cord injuries, men are more frequently affected by central cord syndrome than women. In younger individuals (secondary to trauma) or in older individuals (secondary to spondylosis).
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.
Central pain syndrome is a type of pain that occurs because of injuries to the brain or spinal cord.
Central pain syndrome can occur in conjunction with a number of conditions involving the brain or spinal cord, including stroke ; traumatic injury to, or tumors involving, the brain or spinal cord; Parkinson's disease ; multiple sclerosis ; or epilepsy.
The Central Nervous System: the brain and spinal cord.
The central nervous system
It also known as hemisection of the spinal cord or partial spinal sensory syndrome
It also known as Brown-Sequard syndrome or partial spinal sensory syndrome
It is also called Brown-Sequard syndrome and hemisection of the spinal cord
The parts of the CNS are the brain and the spinal cord.
The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord.
The central nervous tissues as well as the spinal cord are affected by this. It has been shown that almost all tissues are affected before death.
