Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) has been used to improve motor function in patients with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). The effect of EES on paravertebral muscles in patients with SCI has been unnoticed. We reported a case of paravertebral muscles hypertrophy after the electrode shifted in a patient with spinal cord injury. We also discussed possible mechanistic accounts for this occurs.
硬膜外电刺激(EES)已被用于改善慢性脊髓损伤(SCI)患者的运动功能。EES对SCI患者椎旁肌的影响尚未引起关注。我们报告了1例脊髓损伤患者电极移位后出现椎旁肌肥大的病例。我们还讨论了这种情况发生的可能机制。
