Anterior Root Syndrome

Anterior spinal nerve syndrome (ARS) is a condition characterized by pain or discomfort in one or more of the upper spine, including the neck, shoulders, and arms, and numbness or tingling in the palms and fingers. This syndrome can be caused by various factors, such as injury, arthritis, sciatica, inflammation of the neuromuscular junction, or other diseases.

Essentially, this disease is an inflammation or pinching of the anterior spinal cord, which is located in the thoracic spine. As this disease progresses, the patient may experience symptoms such as severe pain in the chest and back, numbness in the arms and fingers, weakening of the arm muscles, difficulty breathing, weakness in the legs, etc. In severe cases, the patient may lose the ability to move independently. However, this syndrome can be treated quite successfully, which may include medication, physical therapy, massage and manual therapy.

Anterior root syndrome of the spinal cord is a syndrome in neurology, manifested by a combination of numbness (paresthesia), pain in the area of ​​innervation of the corresponding roots, movement disorders in the lower extremities and pelvic organs due to compression of the anterior branches of the spinal nerves by the pelvic muscles and internal organs (rectum). It was first isolated in 1862 by the Austrian neurologist Caspar Hoffmann. The disease is characterized by limited pain, paresis and weakness in the extremities along with anesthesia and skin disorders
