Hypotensive central infarction of the spinal cord.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A case of selective necrosis of the central grey matter of the caudal spinal cord secondary to severe prolonged hypotension is presented. The hypotension was due to localised dissection of the ascending aorta which did not interfere structurally with any of the spinal cord vasculature.

Comparative histomorphometric study of the various segments of the spinal cord in the adult male and female mongoose (Herpestes edwardsii)
Background: Anatomical and histological studies of the spinal cord have always garnered anatomists’ attention because of their high importance in various fields of veterinary medicine, zoology and behavioral science. OBJECTIVES: This work was conducted to understand the detailed histomorphometric aspects of the spinal cord of Indian gray mongoose (Herpestes edwardsii). METHODS: Six adult Indian...
متن کاملSpinal cord infarction: a highly reproducible stroke model.
The study of focal central nervous system ischemia has been impeded by the lack of animal models that are both reproducible and simulate human ischemic strokes. To circumvent these problems, we have developed a rabbit spinal cord infarction model. Infarction of the caudal lumbar cord is produced by temporary occlusion of the abdominal aorta below the renal arteries. One hour of ischemia causes ...

متن کاملSelective vulnerability of the lumbosacral spinal cord after cardiac arrest and hypotension.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE It is generally accepted that the gray matter in the watershed area of the midthoracic level of the spinal cord is the ischemic watershed zone of the spinal cord. We performed a retrospective study to reevaluate the frequency and distribution of spinal cord injury after a global ischemic event. METHODS Clinical files and neuropathology specimens of all adult patients wi...
متن کاملWhy does the central nervous system not regenerate after injury?
A major problem for neuroscientists and clinicians is why the central nervous system shows ineffective regeneration after injury. Injured peripheral nerve fibers reform their connections, whereas those in injured spinal cord never re-grow. Insights into the mechanisms for repair and restoration of function after spinal cord injury have been obtained by experiments showing that injured nerve cel...
