Clinically Relevant Anatomy[edit | edit source]
Central cord syndrome (CCS) is the most commonly encountered incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) type. Acute traumatic CCS was first described in 1954 by Schneider et al as a SCI with “disproportionately more motor impairment of the upper than of the lower extremities, bladder dysfunction, usually urinary retention, and varying degrees of sensory loss below the level of the lesion.”[1]
