Fatal cerebral hemorrhage due to autonomic dysreflexia in a tetraplegic patient: case report and review

I Eltorai et al. Paraplegia. 1992 May.

Abstract

Autonomic dysreflexia is the most important specific complication of high level spinal cord injury both in tetraplegic and in paraplegic patients above the midthoracic neural segment. It is a life threatening emergency that may lead to apoplexy. We present a case of fatal cerebral hemorrhage due to autonomic dysreflexia in order to demonstrate the gravity of this particular syndrome.
