过伸性颈椎与脊髓损伤(附25例报告)

报告25例过伸性颈椎和脊髓损伤。其中,急性中央脊髓综合征16例,脊髓部分损伤4例,前脊髓综合征2例,严重脊髓损伤3例。颈椎过伸性损伤可引起不同类型的脊髓伤,但以中央脊髓综合征多见。本组多采用保守治疗,效果较好。并对过伸性损伤的诊断和颈椎与脊髓伤之间关系作了讨论。

HYPEREXTENSION INJURIES OF CERVICAL SPINE AND THE SPINAL CORD

Twenty-five cases of hyperextensive injuries to the cervical spine seen between Aug 1975 and 1884 were analyzed with regard to the clinical patterns of neurological damage and the reentgenogra-phic features of skeletal and soft-tissue injuries. Acute central cord syndrome was presented in sixteen cases, and in four cases who had a partial cord injuries, two of them had a typical Brown-Se'quard syndrome. The patients had an anterior cord syndrome; three had serious cord injuries, one of them died of myocardial failure on the fourth day after injury. In this series, a hyperextensive mechanism of cervical spine may gave rise to different types of spinal cord injury, but central cord syndrome was most frequently encountered. Conservative treatment was generally used, and the results of treatment were satisfactory in most cases. Diagnosis of hyperextension injuries and the relationship between cervical spine and cord injury were discussed.
