Evaluation of the prognostic value of extra-parenchymal changes in traumatic spinal cord injury, assessed by magnetic resonance imaging.

Objectives: To analyze the relationship between neurological progression following traumatic spinal cord injury and Spinal Cord Compression (SCC) and Spinal Ligamentous Injury (LI) by magnetic resonance imaging.

Design: Retrospective observational study.

Setting: Spinal Cord Injury Unit (A Coruña, Spain).

Prognostic value of early magnetic resonance imaging in the morbidity and mortality of traumatic spinal cord injury.

Objective: To assess in individuals with traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) the relationship between mortality and need for ICU and early magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), analyzing spinal parenchymal alterations, disruption of vertebral ligaments (DVL) and spinal cord compression (SCC).

Design: Retrospective study.

Setting: Third-level hospital, Spinal Cord Injury Unit and ICU.

Neurological recovery after traumatic spinal cord injury: prognostic value of magnetic resonance.

Study Design: Retrospective observational study.

Objectives: Assess the relationship between Magnetic Resonance (MR) image patterns and neurological recovery in patients with Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury (TSCI).

Setting: Spinal cord injury unit in Spain.
