A conversion reaction, presenting as an acute spinal-cord injury, was diagnosed in 9.8% of new patients admitted to a spinal injury unit during the period from November 1982 to November 1983. There were eight men and one woman (mean age, 23 +/- 8 years). A history of previous episodes of conversion reaction was common in this group. Some patients had evidence of previous vertebral damage. Diagnosis of this condition is difficult, even for those who are familiar with patterns of spinal-cord injuries. All patients were walking independently and had no sensory deficits at the time of discharge from hospital.
1982年11月至1983年11月期间，在一家脊髓损伤病房收治的新患者中，9.8%被诊断为表现为急性脊髓损伤的转换反应。患者中有8名男性和1名女性（平均年龄23±8岁）。该组患者既往常有转换反应发作史。部分患者有既往椎体损伤的证据。即使对于熟悉脊髓损伤模式的人来说，这种疾病的诊断也很困难。所有患者出院时均能独立行走，且无感觉障碍。
