Cervical spinal cord injury

Cervical spinal cord injury refers to cervical spinal cord injury caused by cervical spine fractures, which are manifested as limbs and trunk paralysis to varying degrees, and urination disorders. Patients often have symptoms such as strenuous breathing and chest tightness due to respiratory muscle paralysis, and prone to dizziness, dizziness and palpitation due to orthostatic hypotension. Cervical spinal cord injury is divided into complete injury and incomplete injury according to the degree of injury. A complete injury is the absence of sensation when the pointer punctures the anus, and there is no random contraction of the external anal sphincter when the anus is digitally examined. Incomplete injuries are felt when the pointer is pierced in the anus, or the external anal sphincter is contracted randomly when the anus is digitally examined. After cervical spinal cord injury, the sensory and motor functions of the limb are usually recovered to varying degrees.
