Spinal Cord Disorders

Spinal Cord Disorders

Spinal cord disorders cause various patterns of deficits depending on which nerve tracts within the cord or which spinal roots outside the cord are damaged. Disorders affecting spinal nerves, but not directly affecting the cord, cause sensory or motor abnormalities or both only in the areas supplied by the affected spinal nerves. Spinal cord disorders can cause permanent severe neurologic disability. For some patients, such disabilities can be avoided or minimized if evaluation and treatment are rapid.
