Objective:
To determine changes in neurological status in patients with traumatic cord lesions before and after surgical treatment.
Material And Methods:
We conducted a descriptive cohort study, and measured 61 points of neurologic evaluation (sensory, motor, reflexes) of the Sequential Clinical History.
Results:
We studied 28 patients with complete cord lesion (ASIA A) and 16 with incomplete cord lesions (9 ASIA B, 4 ASIA C, and 3 ASIA D). In the patients classified as ASIA-A, twenty-six did not change, and 2 had improvement in one neurologic level (sensory). In ASIA-B patients, four remained with no changes, and in 5 the lesion improved. The four patients with type C lesion, improved. All patients with ASIA-D, improved to ASIA-E.
Conclusion:
In patients with complete cord lesions (ASIA-A) and the worst prognosis, we did not find improvement in neurologic lesion. In incomplete cord injuries, improvement was variable, and it was more prevalent in preoperative period.
