  • Title: Vascular events after spinal cord injury: contribution to secondary pathogenesis.
    Author: Mautes AE, Weinzierl MR, Donovan F, Noble LJ.
    Journal: Phys Ther; 2000 Jul; 80(7):673-87. PubMed ID: 10869130.
    Abstract:
    Traumatic spinal cord injury results in the disruption of neural and vascular structures (primary injury) and is characterized by an evolution of secondary pathogenic events that collectively define the extent of functional recovery. This article reviews the vascular responses to spinal cord injury, focusing on both early and delayed events, including intraparenchymal hemorrhage, inflammation, disruption of the blood-spinal cord barrier, and angiogenesis. These vascular-related events not only influence the evolution of secondary tissue damage but also define an environment that fosters neural plasticity in the chronically injured spinal cord.
