This may be specific to the involved nerve roots as listed below, with the lower lumbar and sacral roots more affected, leading to diminished strength in the glutei muscles, hamstring muscles (ie, semimembranosus, semitendinosus, biceps femoris), and the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles.<BR/> * Sensation is decreased to pinprick and light touch in a dermatomal pattern corresponding to the affected nerve roots. This includes saddle anesthesia (sometimes including the glans penis or clitoris) and decreased sensation in the lower extremities in the distribution of lumbar and sacral nerves. Vibration sense may also be affected. Sensation of the glans penis or clitoris should be examined.<BR/> * Muscle stretch reflexes may be absent or diminished in the corresponding nerve roots. Babinski reflex is diminished or absent.<BR/> <B>* Bulbocavernosus reflexes may be absent or diminished. This should always be tested.<BR/> * Anal sphincter tone is patulous and should always be tested since it can define the completeness of the injury (with bulbocavernosus reflex); it is also useful in monitoring recovery from the injury.<BR/> * Urinary incontinence could also occur secondary to loss of urinary sphincter tone; this may also present initially as urinary retention secondary to a flaccid bladder.</B><BR/> * Muscle tone in the lower extremities is decreased, which is consistent with an LMN lesion.<BR/><BR/># Signs of conus medullaris syndrome include the following:<BR/><BR/> * Patients may exhibit hypertonicity, especially if the lesion is isolated and primarily UMN.<BR/> * Signs are almost identical to those of the cauda equina syndrome, except that in conus medullaris syndrome signs are more likely to be bilateral; <B>sacral segments occasionally show preserved bulbocavernosus reflexes and normal or increased anal sphincter tone;</B> the muscle stretch reflex may be hyperreflexic, especially if the conus medullaris syndrome (ie, UMN lesion) is isolated; Babinski reflex may affect the extensors; and muscle tone might be increased (ie, spasticity).<BR/> * Other signs include papilledema (rare, occurs in lower spinal cord tumors), cutaneous abnormalities (eg, cutaneous angioma, pilonidal sinus that may be present in dermoid or epidermoid tumors), distended bladder due to areflexia, and other spinal abnormalities (noted on lower back examination) predisposing the patient to the syndrome.<BR/><BR/>--<BR/><BR/>We will refer and Correct it as per the standard Booksபுருனோ Brunohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09684371738141587846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17820965.post-31887369515544090702009-03-03T23:52:00.000+05:302009-03-03T23:52:00.000+05:30Conus medullaris syn. being an intra medullary les...Conus medullaris syn. being an intra medullary lesion- in this page the discussion says there is 'sacral sparing' in IM lesion & for the next question the disucssion says 'absent anal reflex' for conus syn. are they both not contradictory?oovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457371452935592720noreply@blogger.com
