The pathophysiology to spinal cord injuries has nicely been described previously [57] and can be summarized as a primary injury caused by direct compression or neural elements by bony fracture fragments, disc material and ligamentous injuries, and from associated epidural hematoma or disruption or tra...

The time from injection to recovery of motor and sensory functions and ambulation time were significantly shorter in the epidural group than the spinal group (p 0.05). The percentage of patients who required additional analgesic was 9% versus 6% in spinal versus epidural groups. One of the ...
FullText Abstract This paper deals with a case of metastatic spinal epidural abscess due to an infection with Staphylococcus aureus in which the diagnosis was made and drainage provided before the appearance of signs or symptoms suggesting a compression of the spinal cord. We believe this case to...
Spinal cord stimulation Epidural electrical stimulation (Biphasic monopolar, 0.2 ms, 100–400 μA, 40 Hz) was delivered through the chronically implanted electrodes at L2 and S1 segments using the system used for neural recordings (Tucker–Davis Technologies, USA). During experiments with th...
