Underlying Pathophysiology

Spinal cord injury (SCI), either traumatic or non-traumatic in aetiology, leads to temporary or permanent damage to the spinal cord function. Significant efforts have been directed towards the elucidation of the underlying pathophysiology of SCI. Both primary and secondary mechanisms of SCI exist, leading to immediate and often irreversible cell damage. Immediate treatment and adequate management in the setting of acute SCI are essential, preservation of even a small amount of functional neuronal tissue can permit ambulation. SCI is associated with a prolonged hospital stay, rehabilitation stay, and often associated with enormous monetary costs. Neurological recovery after SCI is largely dependent on the extent of injury. The management of SCI and the determination of the role and timing of surgical decompression remain crucial and yet controversial. Further epidemiological research and studies are warranted in order to enhance healthcare planning and cost-effectiveness.
