“…AD is most commonly reported in physical medicine and rehabilitation literature regarding the care for patients in the chronic stage of SCIs [1,[4][5][6][8][9][10]. In the more chronic cases, the onset of AD is attributable to a particular stimulation-urinary catheterization [4], bowel stimulation [11], decubitus ulcer dressing changes [12]. The majority of treatment options rely primarily on prevention of this sympathetic dysregulation.…”

We hypothesize that the cervical compression caused a disruption in the regulatory control of the sympathetic preganglionic neurons resulting in the autonomic symptoms. Although numerous studies exist of patients with a traumatic onset of AD, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report in the literature of autonomic symptoms that stemmed from cervical stenosis. The purpose of this case report is to alert clinicians to a potential association between AD and spinal stenosis, which may exist outside the realm of SCI.
