MOHAMAD ABD ELSAMIE ELGANZORY;
Abstract
Spinal cord injury is one of the most devastating accidents that man can incur and still survive.
In industrialized countries the incidence of traumatic spinal
cord injury is approximately 30 per million population per year Men are affected five times more often than women. Half the injuries are due to motorvehicle accidents and one fourth are due to falls. The most prevalent ages for traumatic spinal cord injury are 15 through 34 years but such injury can occur any age group.
The spinal cord is a cylinder somewhat flattened from front
to back whose lower end tapers into a cone. The spinal cord ends opposite the lower border of first lumbar vertebra. The
• dura matter ends opposite the second sacral vertebra. The filum terminale ends and anchored to the dorsum of the second coccygeal vertebra.
