Abstract
A review of 77 patients with traumatic central cord syndrome revealed that atypical variations are more common than the existing literature suggests and that these may be seen in a wide variety of acute injuries to the cervical spine. In general the outcome is good; a favourable prognosis on admission is suggested by good hand function, hyperpathia, Lhermitte's sign and normal perianal sensation. The study has highlighted the value of regular muscle charting and has cast doubt on previous neuroanatomical assumptions about the syndrome.
