Cerebrospinal fluid pressure dynamics as a biomechanical marker for quantification of spinal cord compression: Conceptual framework and systematic review of clinical trials [PDF]
Introduction: In patients with acute spinal cord injury (SCI) and degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM), spinal cord compression is considered a main contributor to spinal cord damage, associated with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) space obstruction.

Imaging of metastatic epidural spinal cord compression
Metastatic epidural spinal cord compression develops in 5–10% of patients with cancer and is becoming more common as advancement in cancer treatment prolongs survival in patients with cancer (1–3).

Could spinal cord oscillation contribute to spinal cord injury in degenerative cervical myelopathy?
Introduction: Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy [DCM] is a slow-motion spinal cord injury. Compression and dynamic compression have been considered disease hallmarks.

Targeted Perfusion Therapy in Spinal Cord Trauma. [PDF]
We review state-of-the-art monitoring techniques for acute, severe traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) to facilitate targeted perfusion of the injured cord rather than applying universal mean arterial pressure targets.
