Autonomic cardiovascular dysfunction during simple arithmetic test in a patient with cervical spinal cord injury-a case report.

Introduction: Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts autonomic control of the cardiovascular system, which may lead to autonomic dysfunction. Growing amounts of evidence support the possibility that systemic and cerebral hemodynamic dysfunctions may contribute to cognitive deficits in patients with SCI.

Case Presentation: We present a case of autonomic cardiovascular dysfunction in a 55-year old female patient following non-traumatic cervical SCI.
