It is concluded from this investigation that localised intramedullary cavitation will develop following non-disruptive spinal cord trauma if the magnitude of original trauma and resulting vascular damage is sufficient. Although an adhesive arachnoiditis also occurs with similar amounts of trauma, the initial vascular damage and subsequent reparative changes within the spinal cord appear to adequately explain the cavitation observed.
从本次调查得出的结论是，如果原始创伤的程度和由此导致的血管损伤足够严重，那么在无脊髓断裂的脊髓创伤后会发生局限性髓内空洞形成。尽管在相似创伤程度下也会发生粘连性蛛网膜炎，但脊髓内最初的血管损伤及随后的修复性改变似乎足以解释所观察到的空洞形成。
