Spinal Cord Vascular Lesions

Spinal cord vascular lesions are abnormal issues with blood vessels supplying the spinal cord, which can interrupt blood flow and harm the nerve tissues. These lesions include conditions like blood clots (thrombosis), bleeding (hemorrhage), or malformed vessels (vascular malformations). Symptoms often involve sudden or progressive back pain, weakness, numbness, or paralysis depending on the affected area. Prompt diagnosis using imaging tests is essential, as treatment may involve medications, procedures to control bleeding, or surgery to restore normal blood flow and prevent permanent damage. Understanding these lesions helps in early intervention and better outcomes.
