  2. Myelomalacia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myelomalacia

    The spinal cord and the brain work together, making them the key components of the central nervous system. [5] Damage to this system affects specific functions of the body, primarily relating to the function of muscles. The areas most commonly injured include the cervical vertebrae (C1-C7), and the lumbar spine (L1-L5). [6]

  3. Spinal stenosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_stenosis

    Moderate to severe spinal stenosis at the levels of L3/4 and L4/5 [further explanation needed] The diagnosis of spinal stenosis involves a complete evaluation of the spine. The process usually begins with a medical history and physical examination. X-ray and MRI scans are typically used to determine the extent and location of the nerve compression.

  4. Cervical spinal stenosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_spinal_stenosis

    Cervical spinal stenosis can be far more dangerous by compressing the spinal cord. Cervical canal stenosis may lead to serious symptoms such as major body weakness and paralysis. Such severe spinal stenosis symptoms are virtually absent in lumbar stenosis , however, as the spinal cord terminates at the top end of the adult lumbar spine, with ...

  5. Cervical spine disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_spine_disorder

    Cervical spine disorders are illnesses that affect the cervical spine, which is made up of the upper first seven vertebrae, encasing and shielding the spinal cord. This fragment of the spine starts from the region above the shoulder blades and ends by supporting and connecting the skull .

  6. Spinal cord injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_cord_injury

    A person with a mild, incomplete injury at the T5 vertebra will have a much better chance of using his or her legs than a person with a severe, complete injury at exactly the same place. Of the incomplete SCI syndromes, Brown-Séquard and central cord syndromes have the best prognosis for recovery and anterior cord syndrome has the worst. [29]

    Postoperative radiation is delivered within 2–3 weeks of surgical decompression. Emergency radiation therapy (usually 20 grays in 5 fractions, 30 grays in 10 fractions or 8 grays in 1 fraction) is the mainstay of treatment for malignant spinal cord compression. It is very effective as pain control and local disease control.

  8. Central cord syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_cord_syndrome

    Central cord syndrome (CCS) is the most common form of cervical spinal cord injury (SCI). It is characterized by loss of power and sensation in arms and hands. It usually results from trauma which causes damage to the neck, leading to major injury to the central corticospinal tract of the spinal cord. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tethered_cord_syndrome

    Scoliosis [3] (abnormal curvature of the spine to the left or right) Urinary irregularities (incontinence or retention) [3] Tethered spinal cord syndrome may go undiagnosed until adulthood, when sensory, motor, bowel, and bladder control issues emerge. This delayed presentation of symptoms relates to the degree of strain on the spinal cord over ...
