Spinal cord compression

Spinal cord compression is a common disorder of the nervous system. It is a group of intraspinal lesions with space-occupying features. There are obvious clinical manifestations of spinal cord compression. With the development and expansion of the etiology, the spinal cord, spinal nerve roots, and their supply vessels are oppressed and become more severe, causing pathological changes such as spinal cord edema, degeneration, and necrosis. Loss of function, limb movements, reflexes, sensations, sphincter function, and skin nutrition disorders below the compression plane appear, which seriously affect the patient's life and work ability.
