Ischemic myelopathy.

Ischemic myelopathy and Angiology of the Spinal Cord have recently drawn the attention of both paraplegists and angiologists, and their details are now fairly well known. Ischemic myelopathies increased with the rise of vascular surgery, but the means of prevention have been carefully studied and the incidence is now decreasing. Twenty-five hundred cases of cord injury have been reviewed, and among 92 nontraumatic cases, 16 ischemic myelopathies have been tabulated. The anatomy and physiology of the spinal cord circulation have been described.
