It is a rare condition caused by an incomplete lesion of the spinal cord
It all depends on what the lesion is made of and where it is on the spine. A benign lesion is non-cancerous whereas a malignant lesion is cancerous.Lesions can be defined according to the patterns they form. Lesions can also be categorized by their size. A gross lesion is one that can be seen with the naked eye. A microscopic or histologic lesion requires the magnification of a microscope to be seen.
No, not necessarily. The level of paralysis is dependent on the level of the lesion, what vertebrae were affected and whether the lesion was open and the spinal cord and nerves were exposed.
Autonomic hyperreflexia
Posterior column of the spinal cord lesions like infection, tumor, trauma or idiopathic.
first of all we all know that the spinal cord contains the the motor alfa that is the motor neuron that causes the muscle to contract,so when the spinal cord gets damaged no stimulation arrives to the muscles below the lesion level..
In short, Yes.A majority of the "signals" that travel through the ventral roots are motor "signals" going out to the periphery from the spinal cord. As such, the signals have already "reached" the spinal cord from the brain or another region of the spinal cord.Thus, A ventral root lesion will interrupt signals from reaching the periphery.
A sclerotic lesion is slow growth, regeneration of the bone. L3 is the 3rd spinal vertebrae. If there is a sclerotic lesion with in l3. It simply means there is a condition, or bone defense located with in L3 .
The area on the spinal cord affected by transverse myelitis will determine the individual's level of functioning. The higher-up the lesion, the greater the disability.
