it would be some sort of syringomelia... medial lemniscus and anterior horns are located in the anterior part of the spinal cord.. I am not saying you are wrong and I am not related to any of these terms so if any of you would explain each of the options, what they are and what they mean..

cENTRAL CORD: UPPER DEFICITS, SPARING LOWER EXTREMITIES.
In anterior cord syndrome: all functions are lost, except for positional and vibratory sense.
Posterior cord syndrome:loss of positional and vibratory sense.
Reflex sympathetic dystrophy:burning pain, not affect motion.
Hemisection of the spinal cord:loss of one set of functions on one side, and a different set of functions on the other side.
