Spinal Cord Injury
Spinal cord injury is an injury to the nerve cord that runs through the spinal column, usually caused by a blow, fall, or accident, and it can disrupt the transmission of signals between the brain and the body.
Manifestations that are described: Depending on the area affected, there may be loss of strength or sensation, difficulty moving, and disturbances in various body functions.
When to seek care? After an accident with intense back or neck pain, or in the case of loss of mobility or sensation, immediate care is required.
Which specialist treats it? The neurosurgeon evaluates these injuries and, in children, the pediatric neurologist takes part in the follow-up. Seeking specialized evaluation early is key to guiding care.
