Popis:	Two women aged 54 and 69 years with high spinal cord injuries and tetraparesis developed hypothermia (30.4 and 29.4 degrees C, respectively); normalization was accomplished by external heating using insulation blankets. Even moderately lowered environmental temperatures may lead to hypothermia in these patients with abnormal temperature sensation, incapacity to compensate and autonomous dysfunction. The symptoms are aspecific and the differential diagnosis is extensive. Recommendations for prevention of hypothermia include daily measurement of the core temperature, adjustment of the environmental temperature and humidity of the air, adequate closing and avoidance of vasodilator drugs.
