Infiltration of the spinal cord

Introduction Human tissues are immersed in abnormal cells or body cells that should not appear under normal conditions, and some diseased tissues spread to the surrounding area. Abnormal substances in the spinal cord cells or in the interstitial space of the spinal cord or excessive accumulation of certain substances in the spinal cord. Inflammation or bone metastasis of certain cancers and cancers can cause spinal cord infiltration. Sometimes it is artificially caused by the infiltration of the spinal cord for therapeutic purposes. The effect of different infiltration on the body is very different. In the case of inflammation, various inflammatory cells infiltrate the inflamed tissue, which is the defense function of the body against damage.

Differential diagnosis

Spinal cord lesions: including spinal cord tumors, spinal cord non-tumor-like lesions, and spinal cord dysplasia. Spinal cord disease can cause spinal cord compression. Spinal cord compression refers to a group of conditions in which the spinal cord, spinal nerve roots, and their supply vessels are compressed by lesions of various natures.

Spinal cord anterior horn lesion: is a manifestation of polio.

Intermittent spinal cord breaks: manifested as asymptomatic on the beginning of walking, to a certain distance (about 1-5 minutes), one or both sides of the lower limbs weakness, improved after a break. Found in spinal arterial endarteritis, spinal cord dysplasia, spinal stenosis. Abnormal substances in the spinal cord cells or in the interstitial space of the spinal cord or excessive accumulation of certain substances in the spinal cord.
