  • Title: [Sudden tetraplegia caused by hemorrhage in a central-medullary astrocytoma].
    Author: Alberdi J, Eiras J, Gomez J, Carcavilla L, Cantero J, Gimenez J.
    Journal: Neurochirurgie; 1987; 33(1):62-5. PubMed ID: 3561649.
    Abstract:
    A case is reported of central-medullary cervical astrocytoma, which without any previous history is shown by a sudden pattern of tetraplegia and breathing insufficiency. The myelography suggested the existence of an expansive intramedullary process, carrying out an urgent surgical decompression and evacuating a central-medullary hematoma in relation to a glial benign type. Various aspects of the sudden tetraplegia are discussed.
