A Review of the Neuropathology of Human Spinal Cord Injury with Emphasis on Special Features
Abstract
A judicious understanding of the basic neuropathology of spinal cord injuries (SCI) is essential knowledge for the clinician responsible for SCI management. An appreciation of the nature of human SCI is also necessary for the neuroscientist searching for a cure. The neuropathology of human SCI described here is derived from the study of 564 cases of spinal cord trauma held in a tissue bank and database of the Department of Neuropathology, Royal Perth Hospital in Australia. The main features of SCI neuropathology are reviewed and special aspects such as early axonal lesions, traumatic demyelination-remyelination, and quantification of white matter tracts are reported in more detail. One of the remarkable outcomes of this work is the finding that the majority of SCI patients have a proportion of spinal cord white matter maintained across the level of the lesion, an observation that has important therapeutic implications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
