|November 1, 1986
Summary
Patients with thoracic sensory deficits may have underlying cervical spinal cord compression. Early recognition and imaging are crucial for diagnosing this potentially treatable condition.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Radiology
- Neurosurgery
Background:
- Thoracic sensory levels typically indicate thoracic spinal cord pathology.
- Cervical spinal cord lesions can present atypically, without pain or trauma history.
