The incidence of civilian spinal cord injuries in the United States has been estimated at 5,000 per year. 1 That this figure is an estimate instead of a documented fact suggests the lack of organization in the approach to this problem. It is even more difficult to establish the number of living spinal cord injury patients in the country: guesses—and ...

Archives of Surgery, 1957
Potential spinal cord injury must be recognized at the scene of injury, and the patient moved in such a manner that the spine remains immobilized, if the possibility of converting a simple fracture into a permanent para- or quadriplegia is to be avoided. Traction and immobilization must be constant; and once the diagnosis is made, the patient should be

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 ...

Progress in Neurobiology, 1998
Only limited therapeutic measures are currently available for the treatment of spinal cord injury. This review describes the pathologic mechanisms of trauma-induced spinal cord injury in rats, which will contribute to new understanding of the pathologic process leading to spinal cord injury and to further development of new therapeutic strategies ...

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.

Penetrating injury of the spinal cord
Injury, 1984We describe 2 cases of penetrating injury of the thoracic spinal cord complicating stab wounds of the chest. Both patients exhibited the Brown-Séquard syndrome, with disturbances of sphincters as well as motor and sensory changes; both developed meningitis. The diagnosis and management of these patients are discussed.

Sexuality and Spinal Cord Injury
Nursing Clinics of North America, 2007In the United States, more than 250,000 people are living with spinal cord injury (SCI). SCI is most often the result of direct trauma to the spinal cord, but can also be associated with congenital or degenerative disease. These individuals experience physical and psychologic consequences that have a profound impact on their sexual health.

Best Practice & Research Clinical Anaesthesiology, 2016
Acute spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating event with high mortality and, among survivors, a high degree of morbidity due to both motor and sensory deficits. The damage that occurs with a SCI is recognized to be pathophysiologically biphasic: the initial insult to neural tissue can be followed by a secondary process of progressive ischemia that ...

Neurovascular injuries of the spinal cord
European Journal of Radiology, 2002Neurovascular spinal cord injuries are very prevalent and in a busy trauma center radiology practice these injuries are commonly seen. Imaging neurovascular injuries has been greatly facilitated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).
