Spinal cord injury during windsurfing.

M K Patel, R J Abbott, W J Marshall

    Paraplegia
    |June 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Severe thoracic pain after windsurfing suggests a spinal cord lesion. Spontaneous resolution points to a potential ischemic cause, not cord compression.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Sports Medicine
    • Vascular Neurology

    Background:

    • Spinal cord lesions can manifest as severe localized pain.
    • Windsurfing in rough conditions poses physical stress.
    • Understanding rare neurological complications of extreme sports is crucial.

    Observation:

    • Two windsurfers experienced severe thoracic pain post-activity.
    • Clinical examination indicated a thoracic spinal cord lesion.
    • No signs of spinal cord compression were detected.

    Findings:

    • Symptoms resolved spontaneously without intervention.
    • Absence of cord compression suggests a non-compressive etiology.
    • Postulated ischemic event as the cause of the thoracic cord lesion.

    Implications:

    • Highlights potential for spinal cord ischemia in athletes.
    • Suggests considering vascular causes for acute thoracic pain in sports.
    • Underscores the importance of monitoring and further research into sports-related neurological injuries.
