SPINE DAMAGE IN THE VERTEBRAL TRAUMA
Abstract:
Traumatic injury of the spinal cord is possible either by contusion or by compression. In spine
contusions, the first injuries that appear are hemorrhage and edema in the central cord, with highly
progress due to the destruction of the sanguine barrier. The second stage of the contusion includes
hemorrhagic ischemia of the grey substance – hemorrhagic necrosis. In spine compression we can find
primary injuries due to the compressive factor but also secondary lesions due to ischemia
