Important spinal syndromes comprise the dorsal cord syndrome, spinothalamic tract syndrome, pyramidal tract syndrome, central cord syndrome, transversal and Brown-Séquard syndrome as well as combined syndromes. Clinical examination allows assessment and anatomical classification of spinal syndromes and targeted examination of the spinal cord using additional diagnostic methods.
