Subacute posttraumatic ascending myelopathy is a rare disorder, unrelated to syrinx formation or mechanical instability, that may gradually emerge within the first 1 to 2 weeks after a spinal cord injury. The authors describe three patients with this syndrome and discuss its possible causes as well as its clinical presentation, imaging characteristics, treatment, and patient prognosis.

Chitinase 3-like protein 1 (CHI3L1) is emerging as a promising biomarker for assessing intracranial lesion burden and predicting prognosis in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. Following experimental TBI, Chi3l1 transcripts were detected in reactive astrocytes located within the pericontusional cortex. However, the cellular sources of CHI3L1 in response to hemorrhagic contusions in human brain remain unidentified.

Background: Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) causes spinal cord swelling and occlusion of the subarachnoid space (SAS). SAS occlusion can change pulsatile cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics, which could have acute clinical management implications. This study aimed to characterise SAS occlusion and investigate CSF dynamics over 14 days post-SCI in the pig.

Dural venous sinus thrombosis, a subset of cerebral venous thrombosis, is an important pathology due to its significant morbidity and mortality. This process has an annual incidence of three to five cases per million adults. Although copious predisposing factors exist, the core principles revolve around Virchow's triad: venous stasis, hypercoagulability, and vascular endothelial damage.

Spinal cord injuries (SCI) affect the anatomy and physiology of the spinal cord and result in characteristic changes. Identifying the impairments resulting from SCI is vital for the health care provider. Specifically, this article focuses on neurologic decline after SCI in the subacute to chronic stages.
