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 ...

Imaging of Spinal Cord Injuries
Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2007In the United States, approximately 11,000 incident cases of spinal cord injury (SCI) occur each year, and the annual prevalence is estimated to be 253,000 persons. Early diagnosis and management of SCI is critical in minimizing complications and the severity of injury.

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.

Spinal cord injury and protection
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1985Subsequent to traumatic injury of the spinal cord, a series of pathophysiological events occurs in the injured tissue that leads to tissue destruction and paraplegia. These include hemorrhagic necrosis, ischemia, edema, inflammation, neuronophagia, loss of Ca2+ from the extracellular space, and loss of K+ from the intracellular space.

Archives of Surgery, 1971
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 ...

URODYNAMICS OF SPINAL CORD INJURY
Urologic Clinics of North America, 1996Historically, urologic complications have been the major source of morbidity and mortality among spinal cord injured (SCI) patients. All SCI patients should undergo urodynamic evaluation, with the initial urodynamics study done after the patient is beyond the spinal-shock phase.

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 ...

Thrombosis in spinal cord injury
Thrombosis Research, 1992Some traditional coagulation assays and several new molecular markers of hemostatic activation were measured in 37 patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Twenty one of the patients (57%) developed deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The radiofibrinogen uptake test (RFUT) was used to diagnose DVT.

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1982
Some spinal cord injuries occur after the patient arrives under medical care; if proper measures are taken, these should be preventable. Many cord injuries are incomplete and with proper treatment have a remarkable capacity for recovery. Centralized rehabilitation programs for patients with spinal injury can guide the victim to the highest functional ...

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.
