We present the case of a 47-yr-old gentleman with cervical cord injury after he received massage in the neck area. Magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine showed a herniation of the nucleus pulposus and compressive myelopathy. The patient required surgical intervention and rehabilitation. Despite 6 mos of rehabilitation, residual hand dysfunction and minor ambulation problems persisted. Although massage has many benefits, this case reminds us that there is potential danger in performing neck massage.
我们呈现了一个 47 岁男性的案例，他在颈部接受按摩后发生了颈脊髓损伤。颈椎的磁共振成像显示了椎间盘突出和压迫性脊髓病。该患者需要手术干预和康复。尽管进行了 6 个月的康复，手部功能仍有残留障碍，且步行能力仍有轻微问题。虽然按摩有很多好处，但这个案例提醒我们，进行颈部按摩存在潜在的危险。
