Testicular biopsies and hormone profiles were obtained from 23 paraplegic patients who had sustained a complete spinal cord section. The hormone profiles were normal, but patients with a spinal lesion including the T10-L2 metameres showed a particular pattern of germinal cell abnormalities. The atrophy is multifactorial, but may well include destruction of the sympathetic innervation of the testis by the lesion.
对23例脊髓完全横断的截瘫患者进行了睾丸活检并检测了激素水平。激素水平正常，但脊髓病变累及胸10至腰2节段的患者出现了特定模式的生殖细胞异常。这种萎缩是多因素造成的，但很可能包括病变对睾丸交感神经支配的破坏。
