What is Anterior Cord Syndrome?
Anterior cord syndrome is also referred to as anterior spinal cord syndrome and anterior spinal artery syndrome. It is a result of damage to the anterior spinal artery, the one running along the front of the spinal cord.
Severe cases of anterior cord syndrome can involve complete paralysis. Less severe cases may have some retention of motor function.
Anterior cord syndrome is considered an incomplete spinal injury because there is generally normal sensory function. Complete spinal injury involves the complete loss of both motor and sensory functions.
Anterior cord syndrome is usually the result of a flexion injury damaging the cervical spine. Common flexion injuries resulting in anterior cord syndrome:
- Wedge compression fracture that compresses the anterior spinal artery
- Teardrop fracture (a fracture of the anteroinferior aspect of the vertebral body the front portion of the vertebrae) that produces a fragment resembling a teardrop) where the teardrop fragment is driven into the anterior portion of the spinal cord
- Burst fracture (a crushing of the vertebral body in all directions) when a fragment is driven into the anterior portion of the spinal cord
