A 70-year-old woman with a right hemisensory deficit caused by an incomplete
cervical spinal cord injury presented with left hip pain.
The clinical assessment
suggested that her left-sided hip pain was attributable to severe right hip
osteoarthritis. Her left hip pain resolved completely after she underwent a right
total hip arthroplasty.
This case is presented, along with a review of the
literature on spinal and supraspinal neuronal reorganization after spinal cord
injury. This case report suggests the occurrence of central sensory
reorganization after an incomplete cervical spinal cord injury, which resulted in
a patient perceiving right hip pathology in her left hip.
