Scope note: Síndrome asociado con daño de la médula espinal por encima del nivel torácico medio (ver LESIONES DE LA MÉDULA ESPINAL) caracterizado por un acusado aumento de la respuesta simpática a los estímulos pequeños, como son distensión vesical o rectal. Las manifestaciones incluyen HIPERTENSIÓN, TAQUICARDIA (o bradicardia refleja), FIEBRE, RUBEFACCIÓN facial, e HIPERHIDROSIS. La hipertensión extrema puede asociarse con un ACCIDENTE CEREBROVASCULAR.

Scope note: A syndrome associated with damage to the spinal cord above the mid thoracic level (see SPINAL CORD INJURIES) characterized by a marked increase in the sympathetic response to minor stimuli such as bladder or rectal distention. Manifestations include HYPERTENSION; TACHYCARDIA (or reflex bradycardia); FEVER; FLUSHING; and HYPERHIDROSIS. Extreme hypertension may be associated with a STROKE.
