S14: Injury of nerves and spinal cord at neck level
Injuries of nerves and the spinal cord at the neck level involve damage to the vital pathways that transmit information between the brain and the rest of the body. These types of injuries typically result from physical trauma, such as accidents, falls, or sports injuries. They can also occur during medical procedures or due to conditions like degenerative disc disease or tumors. Common symptoms resulting from neck-level nerve and spinal cord injuries include pain, numbness, weakness, or even paralysis in various parts of the body. The exact symptoms and their severity often depend on the specific location and extent of the injury. The progression of these conditions can vary, with some individuals experiencing gradual improvements, while others may face long-term or permanent complications. The effects can significantly impact the nervous system and may also lead to secondary issues in other bodily systems.
