Summary
Posterior cord syndrome (PCS) is rare and may be underdiagnosed. A delayed MRI can help anatomically diagnose PCS, emphasizing the need for thorough neurological exams in spinal cord injury cases.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Neurosurgery
- Radiology
Background:
- Posterior cord syndrome (PCS) is a rare neurological condition affecting the spinal cord.
- Current assessment tools like the International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI) may not adequately evaluate PCS.
- Early diagnosis and management are crucial for patient outcomes.
