✓ The authors present a retrospective analysis of 97 cases of spinal meningioma. Age, sex, tumor location, and clinical presentation are similar to that reported by others. Importantly, even among paraplegic patients, one-third eventually walked.

European Radiology, 1986
Spinal cord tumors are rare; however, every radiologist should be able to recognize and readily identify those lesions often found in younger patients or children [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,9]. Early diagnosis plays an important role in the management of the lesions and interferes with the prognosis and final outcome of the patient [10].

Spinal Cord Decompression in Spinal Cord Injury
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1981There is substantial doubt as to the value of "decompressive" surgery in the management of spinal cord injury. A few relative indications exist for such surgery, but they are only relative. There are a number of absolute contraindications to the procedure, and it should be undertaken only under the most unusual and highly selected circumstances.

Characteristics of spinal cord gliomas Spinal cord gliomas comprised 20% of intraspinal tumors of all types in a large surgical series (Table 1) [1]. These tumors share several characteristics with cerebral gliomas. Spinal gliomas use the same histopathological classi®cation as gliomas of the cerebral hemispheres, such as astrocytoma and ependymoma ...

Neurologic Clinics, 1991
The evaluation and treatment of spinal cord injury continues to evolve, enhanced by new imaging modalities. Their application in reference to the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine is discussed. Treatment options, both conservative and surgical, are outlined.

Back pain and suspected spinal cord compression remains one of the most frequent reasons for neurologic consultation in cancer patients. While treatment generally results in stabilization or improvement, early diagnosis remains the cornerstone of improving neurologic outcome.

Spinal cord infections pose urgent diagnostic and management issues. This article outlines a clinical approach to potential spinal cord infection based on demographic risk factors and both central nervous system (CNS) and extra-CNS clinical clues. The spectrum of disease in vulnerable patient groups, such as transplant and chemotherapy recipients ...

Current Opinion in Neurology, 1995
Selected topics related to rehabilitation of individuals with spinal cord lesions are reviewed and commented upon. A 10-week arm-cranking programme improved aerobic capacity and endurance in tetraplegics. Furthermore, endurance training and forced vital capacity were found to be positively correlated. Rowing had additional positive effects for scapular

Continuum, 2011
A spinal cord injury is a devastating, life-changing neurologic event that challenges patients, families, and caregivers. A myriad of neurologic and medical sequelae occur subsequent to the original insult. This article discusses epidemiology, primary and secondary injuries, acute therapy, and neuroprotective agents as well as the exciting areas of ...

New technology is helpful in the treatment of patients with spinal cord injury, but we are still unable to reverse the effects of the initial injury. The major focus in the acute treatment of spinal cord trauma has remained prevention of secondary injury and complications thereafter.
