This content presents infectious and vascular spinal emergencies, including epidural abscess, nontraumatic epidural hematoma, vascular malformations, and spinal cord infarction. The spine is subjected to multiple potential insults, such as trauma, infection, ischemia, hemorrhage, tumor, inflammation, and degeneration. All of these processes can lead to the sudden onset of neurologic symptoms, such as motor weaknesses, bowel and bladder incontinence, and sensory changes. Therefore, prompt recognition of these entities is important to reverse or minimize potential neurologic injury. The authors discuss several infectious and vascular spinal emergencies, including epidural abscess, nontraumatic epidural hematoma, vascular malformations, and spinal cord infarction.
本内容介绍了感染性和血管性脊髓急症，包括硬膜外脓肿、非创伤性硬膜外血肿、血管畸形和脊髓梗死。脊柱可能受到多种潜在的损伤，如创伤、感染、缺血、出血、肿瘤、炎症和退行性变。所有这些过程都可能导致神经症状突然发作，如运动无力、肠和膀胱失禁以及感觉改变。因此，及时识别这些病症对于逆转或最小化潜在的神经损伤非常重要。作者讨论了几种感染性和血管性脊髓急症，包括硬膜外脓肿、非创伤性硬膜外血肿、血管畸形和脊髓梗死。
