Abstract:
Post-traumatic Central cord syndrome (Schneider's syndrome) is an intra-medullary contusion arising in the course of cervical trauma, and was first described by Schneider in 1954. It is characterized by motor impairment predominantly in the upper limbs, with a motor ASIA score disparity of at least 10 points between upper and lower limbs, and variable sensory and bladder dysfunction. We report the case of a patient treated in our department who presented with Schneider's syndrome following a high-kinetic trauma in a degenerative spine context, with the particularity of a tactile and thermo-algesic sensory deficit of the left part of the face, as well as its functional evolution.
