Dissociated sensory loss is a pattern of neurological damage caused by a lesion to a single tract in the spinal cord which involves preservation of fine touch and proprioception with selective loss of pain and temperature. Understanding the mechanisms behind these selective lesions requires a brief discussion of the anatomy involved.
Dissociated sensory loss; Ependymoma, a type of tumors that are capable of causing syringomyelia; Otto Kahler, a neurologist in the late 1800s who published the first complete description of syringomyelia.

Central cord syndrome (CCS) is the most common form of cervical spinal cord injury (SCI). It is characterized by loss of power and sensation in arms and hands. It usually results from trauma which causes damage to the neck, leading to major injury to the central corticospinal tract of the spinal cord. [1]
Dual sensory loss is the simultaneous loss of two senses. Research has shown that 6% of non-institutionalized older adults had a dual sensory impairment, and 70% of severely visually impaired older adults additionally suffered from significant hearing loss. [7] Vision and hearing loss both interfere with the interpretation and comprehension of ...
This category encompasses all disorders of the nervous system. The major meta-categories is Category:Neurological disorders by disease category.A disorder can be categorized in both systems simultaneously (for example, glioma under "Nervous system neoplasia" AND "Brain disorders").
Central cord symptoms such as hand weakness, dissociated sensory loss, and, in severe cases, paralysis may occur. [17] ... and loss of bowel and bladder control.
Conversion disorder presented motor or sensory symptoms including: Motor symptoms or deficits: Impaired coordination or balance; Weakness/paralysis of a limb or the entire body (hysterical paralysis or motor conversion disorders) Impairment or loss of speech (hysterical aphonia) Difficulty swallowing or a sensation of a lump in the throat
The effects of dissociatives can include sensory dissociation, hallucinations, mania, catalepsy, analgesia and amnesia. [4] [5] [6] According to Pender (1972), "the state has been designated as dissociative anesthesia since the patient truly seems disassociated from his environment."
