Paraplegia. 1980 Feb;18(1):15-20. doi: 10.1038/sc.1980.3.
Thirteen different patients involving spinal cord pathology with delayed or false diagnosis are presented and these diagnostic pitfalls are discussed. Many seemingly simple explanations for para or quadriplegia are suddenly quite complex upon scrutiny. The problem of proper diagnosis is capital in instituting proper therapy, advising the patient and his family, and unfortunately in today's medical climate, for medical legal reasons.
本文介绍了13例脊髓病变患者，这些患者存在诊断延迟或误诊的情况，并对这些诊断陷阱进行了讨论。许多看似简单的截瘫或四肢瘫病因，经仔细审查后突然变得相当复杂。正确诊断问题对于制定恰当的治疗方案、向患者及其家属提供建议至关重要，不幸的是，在当今的医疗环境下，出于医疗法律原因，这一问题也很关键。
