The incidence of non-traumatic spinal cord dysfunction (SCDys) is reported to be higher than traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) in many countries. No formal review of the history of SCDys has been published. This article aims to identify key highlights in the history of SCDys. An electronic literature search was conducted (January 2017) using MEDLINE (1946-2016) and Embase (1974-2016) databases for publications regarding the history of SCDys. Publications on the history of SCI and a selection of neurology textbooks and books on the history of neurology were reviewed for potentially relevant references. The focus of the literature search was on identifying publications that detail key highlights regarding the history of the diagnosis and management of the most common SCDys conditions, as well as those of historical significance. The electronic search of MEDLINE and Embase identified 11 relevant publications. The majority of publications included were identified from the authors' libraries and a selection of books on neurology and the history of neurology. This review outlines the history of SCDys, taking a broader historical perspective and covering the increasing awareness of the role of the spinal cord and knowledge of neuroanatomy. Key milestones in the history of the diagnosis and management of the most common SCDys conditions are presented. An appreciation of the history of SCDys increases our understanding of the large number of people who contributed to our current knowledge of these conditions and in some situations helps guide efforts regarding prevention of SCDys.
据报道，在许多国家，非创伤性脊髓功能障碍（SCDys）的发病率高于创伤性脊髓损伤（SCI）。目前尚未发表关于SCDys历史的正式综述。本文旨在梳理SCDys历史中的关键要点。于2017年1月利用MEDLINE（1946 - 2016年）和Embase（1974 - 2016年）数据库进行电子文献检索，以查找有关SCDys历史的出版物。对关于SCI历史的出版物以及精选的神经学教科书和神经学史书籍进行了审查，以寻找潜在的相关参考文献。文献检索的重点是确定那些详细阐述最常见SCDys疾病诊断和管理历史的关键要点以及具有历史意义的出版物。对MEDLINE和Embase的电子检索共识别出11篇相关出版物。纳入的大多数出版物来自作者的藏书以及精选的神经学和神经学史书籍。本综述从更广泛的历史视角概述了SCDys的历史，涵盖了对脊髓作用认识的不断提高以及神经解剖学知识。介绍了最常见SCDys疾病诊断和管理历史中的关键里程碑。了解SCDys的历史有助于我们理解众多为我们当前对这些疾病的认识做出贡献的人，并且在某些情况下有助于指导预防SCDys的工作。
