SPINAL CORD COMPRESSION
Dr Krishna Badal
Spinal cord is a tube of neural tissue which is continuous with the medulla oblongata at the base
of the brain and it extends to the lower border of L1 vertebra. In case of adult. the main function
of the spinal cord in the brain is to transmit the messages to and from the brain. the lower level of
the spinal cord ends at L1 vertebra, but still there are lots of other vertebra left.. The spinal cord
does n't extend the entire length of the vertebral column. a group of nerves leaves. The inferior
spinal cord and extend downward and this group of nerve fiber is known as koda Equina.. The
main functions of this phylum terminal is supportive function that means it anchor the spinal.
cord onto the. coccygeal vertebra. It fixes spinal cord there understand what is cornus
medullaris.. The spinal cord is much shorter than the. length of the vertebral column, the spinal
segment do not lie opposite the corresponding vertebra.. The spinal nerve attached to the curd by
roots, and they exit from the vertical channel via the intervertebral foramina.. There are 31 pairs
of the spinal nerves coming out from the spinal cord..
This is a crosssection of the spinal cord. You can clearly see now The posterior part is for the
sensory aspect and the interior part for the motor aspect. a spinal nerve is formed and what
happens to it So this is you know in a very summarized way. You know a bit discussion about
spinal nerve how it is formed. of the gray matter within the central nervous system now just take
an example of corticospinal tract. some tracks are called fasciculi or lemon sky. According to the
different location, The different names have been given fasciculus and lemony sky. the extra
pyramidal system is called spinal tract, and it is again divided into two parts.. These are the
tracks which are present the spinal cord. The red one are the motor or descending tract, and the
blue one is the ascending or the sensory tract. if there is. a big mass present right here, for
example, that mass will compress the cervical Uh, you know fiber first cervical fibers first as a
result of that the weakness may start there in the beginning..
Acute spinal cord compression is one of the most common neurological emergency encountered
in clinical practice. It is always considered a neurological emergency, so I should attend this
patient immediately If there is delay in the management of spinal cord. the patient may suffer
from paralysis, sensory. You know problem the person may also suffer from autonomic problem.
almost 80 percent of the time There is spinal cord compression In case of multiple diseases. See
there now what are the common causes from the vertebral side trauma okay trauma vertebral
fracture vertebral.. Another important cause is intervertebral disc prolapse and metastatic
carcinoma is another important cause. spinal cord pathology is intradurable intra medullary. So
see that again tumors like glioma, ependymoma and metastasis are the different types of tumors
which may develop inside the spinal cord substances and can cause the problem so what is the
taco messages from the. causes of spinal cord. The cause can be found according to the different
