BACKGROUND CONTEXT: The past three decades have witnessed increasing interest in
strategies to improve neurologic function after spinal cord injury. As progress is made in our
understanding of the pathophysiologic events that occur after acute spinal cord injury,
neuroprotective agents are being developed. PURPOSE: Clinicians who treat acute spinal
cord injuries should have a basic understanding of the pathophysiologic processes that are
initiated after the spinal cord has been injured. A familiarity with the literature on which the …
