  • Brain Death and the Cervical Spinal Cord: a Confounding Factor for the Clinical Examination
    Spinal Cord (2010) 48, 2–9 & 2010 International Spinal Cord Society All rights reserved 1362-4393/10 $32.00 www.nature.com/sc REVIEW Brain death and the cervical spinal cord: a confounding factor for the clinical examination AR Joffe, N Anton and J Blackwood Department of Pediatrics, Stollery Children’s Hospital, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Study design: This study is a systematic review. Objectives: Brain death (BD) is a clinical diagnosis, made by documenting absent brainstem functions, including unresponsive coma and apnea. Cervical spinal cord dysfunction would confound clinical diagnosis of BD. Our objective was to determine whether cervical spinal cord dysfunction is common in BD. Methods: A case of BD showing cervical cord compression on magnetic resonance imaging prompted a literature review from 1965 to 2008 for any reports of cervical spinal cord injury associated with brain herniation or BD. Results: A total of 12 cases of brain herniation in meningitis occurred shortly after a lumbar puncture with acute respiratory arrest and quadriplegia. In total, nine cases of acute brain herniation from various non-meningitis causes resulted in acute quadriplegia. The cases suggest that direct compression of the cervical spinal cord, or the anterior spinal arteries during cerebellar tonsillar herniation cause ischemic injury to the cord. No case series of brain herniation specifically mentioned spinal cord injury, but many survivors had severe disability including spastic limbs. Only two pathological series of BD examined the spinal cord; 56–100% of cases had upper cervical spinal cord damage, suggesting infarction from direct compression of the cord or its arterial blood supply.

I mean to ask, Whether a person, who having seen or heard or in any way perceived anything, knows not only that, but has a conception of something else which is the subject, not of the same but of some other kind of knowledge, may not be fairly said to recollect that of which he has the conception?" "And when the recollection is derived from like things, then another consideration is sure to arise, which is, Whether the likeness in any degree falls short or not of that which is recollected?"
