TY - JOUR ID - citeulike:5996534 L3 - citeulike-article-id:5996534 N2 - Spinal cord injury is a rare occurrence that is often difficult to diagnose. This report describes a 2-year-old male with cervicothoracic spinal cord injury. The injury is thought to have occurred in the fetal period because the patient's thorax was markedly hypoplastic at birth and his mother had noticed a decrease in fetal movements for several weeks before the birth. The deep tendon reflex of the upper and lower extremities was absent at birth, as observed in other cases of spinal cord injury. It was noteworthy that deep tendon reflex of the upper and lower extremities remained decreased at 2 years of age despite the injury being located at C(7)-T(1). Based on this case, we propose that spinal cord injuries occurring in utero display different reflex responses from those occurring at birth.
