Best Answer

The medical name for a spinal cord injury is Quadriplegia or Tetraplegia if the cord is damaged in the cervical (neck) region.

If the spinal cord is damaged in the Thoracic area or lower, then the paralysis is refered to as Paraplegia.

Also, injuries to the Lumbar and Sacral nerves which result in paralysis, are refered to as Cauda Equina Syndrome.
