Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury – Injury to the Spine and Spinal Cord

A traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) results from external force acting on the spine. This can injure vertebrae, intervertebral discs, ligaments, and joints, and in severe cases, the spinal cord and nerve roots running through the spinal canal.

Whether and to what extent the spinal cord or exiting nerves have been damaged is crucial for the possible neurological consequences.

How does a traumatic spinal cord injury occur?

Common causes include:

• Traffic accidents

• Falls from a significant height

• Sports and recreational accidents

• Work-related accidents

• Severe blows or acts of violence

• Severe flexion, extension, or rotation movements of the spine

This can cause vertebrae to fracture or shift relative to each other. The spinal cord can be bruised, compressed, or severed. Bleeding and swelling within the spinal canal can also exert additional pressure on the spinal cord.

What consequences can a spinal cord injury have?

Symptoms largely depend on the level and extent of spinal cord damage. The higher the injury, the larger the areas of the body that can be affected.

Possible consequences include:

• Muscle weakness or paralysis

• Paraparesis or paraplegia with impairment or paralysis primarily of the legs

• Tetraparesis or tetraplegia with impairment or paralysis of the arms and legs

• Numbness and sensory disturbances

• Loss or alteration of pain and temperature sensation

• Muscle cramps and spasticity

• Bladder and bowel dysfunction

• Sexual dysfunction

• Chronic or neuropathic pain

• Respiratory impairment in high injuries

A distinction is made between complete and incomplete spinal cord injuries. In an incomplete injury, certain motor or sensory functions below the damaged area are preserved.

Diagnosis and Treatment

In case of suspected spinal or spinal cord injury, the spine must first be kept as still as possible and stabilized. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are primarily used for diagnosis.

Depending on the type of injury, spinal stabilization, surgical interventions, and other medical measures may be necessary.

Following acute treatment, early and long-term neurological rehabilitation plays an important role. This includes, among other things, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and, depending on the injury, other specialized therapies.

Important Note

Newly occurring paralysis, numbness, sensory disturbances, or loss of bladder and bowel control after a spinal injury are medical emergencies and must be investigated immediately.
