Sacral and Coccygeal Spinal Cord Segments
cervical spinal nerves exit ?
below
thoracic and lumbar spinal nerves exit ?
same level
Somatotopic Arrangement of ant and lat spinothalamic and corticospinal
C-T-L-S
somatotopic arrangement of DCML
S-L-T-C
exp central cord syndrome
(B) motor and suoerficial sensory loss d/t damage on C-T of ant/lat spinothalamic and corticospinal
can walk but not properly d/t lack of pos sense d/t damge on C-T-L-S of DCML
exp anterior cord syndrome
affects LST, AST, ACS
DCML IS SPARED - intact deep sensation
level of lesion - (B) LMN paralysis
below level of lesion - (B) loss of pain, temp, light touch; spastic paralysis
exp post cord syndrome
DCML affected = Ipsilateral loss of proprioception, vibration sense, two-point discrimination and light touch below the lesion
Spinothalamic and corticospinal or motor is spared
exp brown-sequard syndrome
leads to ipsilateral loss of discriminative touch, vibration, proprioception and weakness and spasticity of muscles below the level of the lesion
leads to contralateral loss of pain and temperature sensation beginning one or two segments below the lesion
