Spinal cord
-
Cross-sectional, controlled study. ⋯ Sciatic nerves seem to be smaller in subjects with SCI. Together with our electrophysiological data, this preliminary finding could possibly be attributed to primary axonal loss.
-
Online questionnaire survey. ⋯ We may still be far from an ideal classification system. Many experts continue to prefer or would consider shifting back to traditional and simpler systems. There is a need for developing classification systems that would be better implementable practically in day-to-day clinical practice, better guide treatment, be more reliable, incorporate other modifiers influencing treatment and be more comprehensive in that order of priority.
-
Descriptive comparison analysis. ⋯ Majority of the facts related to SL, ML and AIS are included in the five training cases of ISCICDS. Thus, using these training cases, it is feasible to test the above facts within the ISNCSCI. It is suggested that the missing fact should be included in an update of the training cases.

Review Case Reports
Emergency surgery in a patient with large spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma determining excellent neurological recovery: review of the literature.
Case report. ⋯ Spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) is a rare clinical finding that can occur following trauma or spontaneously (SSEH). We describe, to the best of our knowledge, the second most extensive idiopathic SSEH and the longest with involvement of the dorso-lumbar spine that had a excellent functional outcome due to emergency decompressive laminectomy, which is emphasized in the treatment of these rare pathologies.
