Acute spinal cord injury (SCI) results from traumatic damage to the spinal cord, which can involve bruising and partial or complete tears. It is a significant cause of permanent disability and mortality, affecting children and adults. Various arrays of factors can lead to acute SCI, with common causes including falls, motor vehicle accidents (involving cars, motorcycles, or pedestrians), sports-related injuries, diving accidents, trampoline accidents, violence (such as gunshot or stab wounds), infections that form abscesses on the spinal cord, and birth injuries that typically affect the neck area of the spinal cord. On the basis of the location and severity of the injury, symptoms of acute SCI can vary. Initial symptoms often include losing or decreasing feeling, muscle movement, and reflexes due to spinal shock. As swelling subsides, additional symptoms may emerge based on the injury's location. The extent of spinal cord damage determines whether the injury is complete (no feeling or movement below the injury level) or incomplete (some degree of texture or movement below the injury level).
Diagnosing acute SCI is a medical emergency; immediate evaluation is necessary when a spinal cord injury is suspected. The diagnosis begins with a physical examination and is followed by various diagnostic tests, including blood tests, computed tomography (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) X-rays, to assess the extent of the injury. In some cases, surgery may be required to stabilize the spinal cord. Treatment for acute SCI includes medical management, medications like corticosteroids to reduce swelling, mechanical ventilation to assist breathing, and interventions like bladder catheters and feeding tubes. Recovery from SCI often necessitates extended hospitalization and rehabilitation, involving a team of healthcare professionals to manage pain, monitor vital functions, and address various aspects of patient care. While preventing SCI entirely may not be guaranteed, preventive measures can help reduce the risk. These measures include not driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, consistently wearing seat belts in vehicles, taking precautions to prevent falls at home, securing firearms safely, and using helmets during activities that may lead to head injuries, such as motorcycle riding and sports participation (e.g., biking, skiing, hockey, football).
