Central Cord Syndrome
Book AppointmentCentral cord syndrome is a disease in which your nerve fibres suffer some form of damage. These nerve fibres convey messages between your brain and body. It is caused when some part of the spinal cord suffers an injury such as swelling, bleeding, constricted blood supply or a cyst in the spinal cord (known as syringomyelia).
There can be several causes of central cord syndrome. The damage could occur due to trauma such as injury from an accident or fall. It could be due to an existing spinal disorder such as syringomyelia, or it could be congenital (present at birth).
