Zusammenfassung

SCIWORA steht für “spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormality” und wurde erstmals 1982 durch Pang u.Wilberger beschrieben [11].Charakterisiert wird es durch ein posttraumatisches, neurologisches Defizit bis hin zum kompletten sensomotorischen Querschnitt ohne radiologisches Korrelat. Anhand der Kasuistik eines 14-jährigen Jungen, der eine komplette passagere sensomotorische Querschnittslähmung in Höhe Th12 erlitt,wollen wir eine Literaturübersicht zum SCIWORA-Syndom geben.

Abstract

The SCIWORA-syndrome was firstly described by Pang and Wilberger in 1982 [11]. It is characterized by a neurological injury without radiological appearance. Since the standardized use of MRI in spinal cord diagnosis, the number of the “real” SCIWORA-syndromes decreases.By the case report of a 14 years old boy falling down from a wall of 2 meters height with a complete paraplegia from Th12 without radiographic abnormality (even in MRI) we will give a short review of the literature.
