[The "pseudo- @entity305 " type @entity132 in cervical XXXX ].

@entity1 @entity132 @entity602 @entity1109 @entity305 @entity49743
We reported the @entity132 in cervical @entity602 . We defined this clinical type by objective superficial sensory deficits of all four distal limbs, and excluded the @entity1 having only subjective @entity132 . Ten out of 61 @entity1 with cervical @entity602 had @entity132 of this type. Two @entity1 noticed difference of the subjective sensations of the upper and lower limbs. Eight @entity1 developed sensory symptoms initially in the upper limbs. Pin-prick sensation was diminished in the upper limbs more predominantly than in the lower limbs. Vibration sense was affected in the lower limbs predominantly. Motor functions were mildly impaired, and muscle stretch reflex of triceps brachii was preserved in all ten @entity1 . Distribution of @entity132 of four @entity1 changed in their course. Nerve conduction studies and F-wave latencies were normal. Electromyography showed mild chronic denervation of the C5-C7 innervated muscles. Somatosensory evoked potentials after median or ulnar nerve stimulation showed delayed latencies or attenuated waveforms of N13 as well as P14 peaks. Spinal cord was compressed mainly at @entity49743 intervertebral level, shown by myelography, CT-myelography or magnetic resonance imagings. We conclude that the pseudo- @entity305 type sensory disturbance of cervical @entity602 indicates the lesion at mid-to-low cervical vertebral level. The anatomical substrates for this @entity1109 could be caused by combination of the dorsal horn/anterior comissure lesions for the upper limbs, and the anterolateral funiculi lesions for the lower limbs.
