Spinal vascular malformations and ischemic lesions of the spinal cord

Acute paraplegia of vascular origin is one of the most serious emergencies in neurology. It is usually the result of spinal cord ischemia rather than bleeding. The ratio of cerebral ischemia to spinal ischemia varies from center to center (depending on whether open heart surgery is done at the cente...

Description
Summary:Acute paraplegia of vascular origin is one of the most serious emergencies in neurology. It is usually the result of spinal cord ischemia rather than bleeding. The ratio of cerebral ischemia to spinal ischemia varies from center to center (depending on whether open heart surgery is done at the center) but in general is 10:0.3. For neurocritical care, the most important syndromes are the anterior spinal artery syndrome and the radicular magna artery syndrome.
