Abstract
Neurological deficits suggesting trauma to the spinal cord in the thoracolumbar area are the most common clinical presentation of neurosurgical conditions. By far, the most common cause of thoracolumbar spinal cord dysfunction is intervertebral disc disease. Disc herniation and subsequent spinal cord compression usually requires prompt medical treatment, then referral for high detail radiographs, myelogram, and surgical decompression. Other causes of thoracolumbar spinal cord dysfunction include neoplasia, discospondylitis, fibrocartilaginous embolism, and degenerative myelopathy.
