The neuropathology of the spinal cord is described and illustrated from the viewpoint of a neuropathologist observing at necropsy the many traumas and pathologic diseases affecting the spinal cord. The article provides the clinician with an insight into the disease processes and anatomic derangements underlying the neurologic deficits in paraplegia and quadriplegia. Today, the clinical examination of patients with spinal cord trauma or spinal cord disease is greatly assisted by many anciliary investigations, notably, radiology and the newer imaging techniques now applied to successfully to the spinal cord. Comparison of the patient's neuropathology with the classical neurophathology of the spinal cord, provided in this article, remains important for the clinician.
本文从神经病理学家在尸检时观察影响脊髓的诸多创伤和病理疾病的角度，对脊髓神经病理学进行了描述并配有插图。本文为临床医生提供了对截瘫和四肢瘫中神经功能缺损背后的疾病过程和解剖紊乱的深入了解。如今，脊髓创伤或脊髓疾病患者的临床检查在许多辅助检查的极大帮助下得以进行，特别是放射学以及目前已成功应用于脊髓的更新的成像技术。将患者的神经病理学与本文中提供的经典脊髓神经病理学进行比较，对临床医生而言仍然很重要。
