Spinal Cord Compression

A pathological state where external pressure is applied to the spinal cord, disrupting nerve signal transmission and causing neurological deficits. In this context, it results from severe vertebral malformations.

Key Facts

Compression disrupts normal neurological function and can lead to progressive motor and sensory deficits.
It often manifests as rear limb weakness and loss of bowel or bladder control.
Advanced imaging is required to confirm the exact location and severity of the compression.
Treatment ranges from conservative management to surgical decompression depending on the underlying cause.

โรคที่เกี่ยวข้อง

Hemivertebraeโรค

Severe hemivertebrae can cause abnormal spinal curvature that directly compresses the spinal cord.

อาการ

Fecal Incontinenceอาการ

Neurological damage from compression frequently affects bowel control mechanisms.

Rear Limb Weaknessอาการ

Compression of the spinal cord frequently disrupts motor pathways to the hind limbs.

Urinary Incontinenceอาการ

Nerve disruption from compression can impair bladder sphincter control.

การรักษา

Spinal Stabilization Surgeryการรักษา

Surgery directly addresses the mechanical cause of compression and stabilizes the affected spinal segment.

ยา

Corticosteroid Therapyยา

Reduces inflammation and swelling around the compressed spinal cord to improve neurological function.

การวินิจฉัย

Advanced Spinal Imagingการวินิจฉัย

Advanced imaging directly visualizes the spinal cord to confirm and locate compression.

ระบบร่างกาย

Thoracic Spineระบบร่างกาย

Vertebral abnormalities in this region directly threaten the thoracic spinal cord.
