Cervical spinal cord injury without bony injury [PDF]

Spinal Cord, 1977
Cervical spinal cord injury without demonstrable bony injury occurred in 141 (37%) of 384 successive neck injuries admitted to the Sheffield Spinal Injuries Unit. The condition was common in patients in the older age-groups and there were 70% of the cases who were over the age of 50 years. The commonest cause was a fall.

Early versus Delayed Decompression for Traumatic Cervical Spinal Cord Injury: Results of the Surgical Timing in Acute Spinal Cord Injury Study (STASCIS)

PLoS ONE, 2012
Background There is convincing preclinical evidence that early decompression in the setting of spinal cord injury (SCI) improves neurologic outcomes. However, the effect of early surgical decompression in patients with acute SCI remains uncertain.

Could spinal cord oscillation contribute to spinal cord injury in degenerative cervical myelopathy?

Brain and Spine, 2023
Introduction: Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy [DCM] is a slow-motion spinal cord injury. Compression and dynamic compression have been considered disease hallmarks.

Comprehensive Monosynaptic Rabies Virus Mapping of Host Connectivity with Neural Progenitor Grafts after Spinal Cord Injury. [PDF]

, 2017
Neural progenitor cells grafted to sites of spinal cord injury have supported electrophysiological and functional recovery in several studies. Mechanisms associated with graft-related improvements in outcome appear dependent on functional synaptic ...

Brachial plexus injury mimicking a spinal-cord injury. [PDF]

, 2010
Objective High-energy impact to the head, neck, and shoulder can result in cervical spine as well as brachial plexus injuries. Because cervical spine injuries are more common, this tends to be the initial focus for management.

Effects of Impactor Size on Biomechanical Characteristics of Spinal Cord in Hemicontusion Injury Model Using Finite Element Analysis

Applied Sciences, 2020
A cervical hemicontusion spinal cord injury (SCI) produces forelimb deficits on the ipsilateral side of the injury while sparing the function of the limbs on the contralateral side of the injury, allowing for the evaluation of experimental therapeutics ...

Ultra-Early (<12 Hours) Surgery Correlates With Higher Rate of American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale Conversion After Cervical Spinal Cord Injury.

Neurosurgery, 2018
BACKGROUND Cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition with very few treatment options. It remains unclear if early surgery correlated with conversion of American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS) grade A injuries to ...

The ferroptosis activity is associated with neurological recovery following chronic compressive spinal cord injury

Neural Regeneration Research, 2023
Chronic compressive spinal cord injury in compressive cervical myelopathy conditions can lead to rapid neurological deterioration in the early phase, followed by partial self-recovery, and ultimately an equilibrium state of neurological dysfunction ...

Cervical Spinal Cord Injury in Patients with Cervical Canal Stenosis without Radiologic Evidence of Trauma: Evaluation of 15 Consecutive Cases

Bagcilar Medical Bulletin, 2017
Objective: Cervical spinal canal stenosis is a well-known risk factor for spinal cord injury. In some patients, spinal cord injury is the first symptom of spinal stenosis.
