“…The compression is thought to occur to the center portion of the spinal cord and the neural spinal tracts (1-3). More specifically the damage to the neuronal tracts was postulated by Schneider et al to be resulting from a sudden compression of the cord between the spondylotic disc osteophyte complex and the buckled posterior ligament flavum (1,(4)(5)(6)(7).…”

“…Central cord syndrome is most commonly seen in individuals with degenerative disease of the cervical spine following hyperextension injury. 1,6,12 It has been described following a hyperflexion injury, also in children with normal calibre cervical canal. 13,14 Transient quadriplegia with recovery to a state of CCS has been described.…”

Following physical assault, a 71‐year‐old male suffered apparent cardio‐respiratory arrest. Bystander basic life support was provided. Advanced life support including endotracheal intubation was subsequently provided. The patient sustained an injury to the cervical spinal cord, manifesting as central cord syndrome. Central cord syndrome is a rare complication of endotracheal intubation and there is no published description following physical assault. This case illustrates that determining precise causality with respect to cervical cord injury may be difficult following standard resuscitation procedures. The pathophysiology of central cord syndrome is reviewed and the possible mechanism in this case, which was the subject of considerable legal debate, is also examined.

The authors retrospectively studied 11 patients with delayed cervical central cord syndrome (CCS) to investigate the efficacy of the surgical intervention on treatment for delayed CCS. The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) motor scores, Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) scores, SF-36 scores, and neurologic status were analyzed preoperatively and at each time point of postoperative follow-up. The results show that patients with reversible spinal cord injury caused by delayed central cord syndrome can recover significantly after surgical intervention. Therefore, we suggest that surgical intervention is still the ideal choice for delayed cervical central cord syndrome.
