There is considerable confusion and controversy regarding the incidence of radiologic abnormalities, prognosis, and pathomechanics of spinal cord injuries in children. The comparison of mechanisms of injury, severity of trauma, methods of management, and outcome has been very difficult because some authors have used 12 years as the upper age limit, while others have included patients as old as 18 years. This article critically analyzes the neurologic patterns of injury, radiologic features, management, outcome, and pathomechanics in 97 children whose acute spinal cord injury was managed and followed at The Institute for Rehabilitation and Research. Pertinent literature on the subject is also extensively reviewed.
关于儿童脊髓损伤的放射学异常发生率、预后及病理力学，存在相当大的困惑和争议。由于一些作者将12岁作为年龄上限，而另一些作者纳入了年龄高达18岁的患者，因此损伤机制、创伤严重程度、治疗方法及结果的比较一直非常困难。本文对97例在康复与研究机构接受急性脊髓损伤治疗及随访的儿童的神经损伤模式、放射学特征、治疗、结果及病理力学进行了批判性分析。同时也对该主题的相关文献进行了广泛综述。
