central cord syndrome

central cord syndrome
a syndrome associated with injury to the cervical or upper thoracic portions of the spinal cord that results in damage to the central cord with sparing of the more external fibers that supply the lower extremity. It is characterized by disproportionately more weakness or paralysis in the upper extremity than in the lower, with varying sensory deficits below the level of the lesion, sometimes with bladder and bowel dysfunction.
