    Myelopathy refers to pathology of the spinal cord that can be caused by compressive factors like trauma and tumors or non-compressive factors like inflammation and vascular diseases. Signs and symptoms depend on the level and extent of the spinal cord affected, and may include motor symptoms like weakness, sensory deficits, and bowel/bladder problems. Examination involves neurological tests, imaging, and potentially lumbar puncture. Treatment depends on the underlying cause of the lesion.

     Compressive :
    - When due to trauma, it is known as spinal cord
    injury
    - Tumor
     Non Compressive :
    – When inflammatory, it is known as myelitis.
    – Disease that is vascular in nature is known as vascular
    myelopathy.
    Sign & symptom
    • Clinical signs and symptoms depend on which
    spinal cord level (cervical, thoracic or lumbar) is
    affected and the extent (anterior, posterior or
    lateral) of the pathology, and may include:
    • Motoric symptom :
    Upper motor neuron at the below of the lesion
    (weakness, spasticity, clumsiness, altered tonus)
    Lower motor neuron at the site of the lesion
    • sensory deficits
    • bowel/bladder symptoms and sexual dysfunction.
    Examination
    1. Neurological examination
    2. Perspiration test
    3. Radiologic examination
    4. Laboratory examination
    5. Lumbar Puncture if indicated
    Treatment
    • Depend on the lesion!!
