dc.description.abstract	Burning Hands Syndrome is an unusual variant of central cord syndrome. There have been few published reports, and none in the emergency medicine literature. We present a case of Burning Hands Syndrome in which there were no computed tomography (CT) findings of cervical spine injury and only subtle magnetic resonance (MR) abnormalities. We discuss the importance of early diagnosis, as the optimal management of these patients ultimately depends upon prompt recognition of the underlying cervical trauma and a spinal cord at risk for further injury.
