Abstract:
Reversible Paraplegia - Favorable Outcome After Delayed Diagnosis Abstract. A 74-year-old woman was referred for progressive gait disturbances. On presentation, she had a complete paraplegia (wheelchair-bound for 19 months) and bladder sphincter dyssynergia with sensory sacral sparing. Magnetic resonance imaging studies revealed a 24 × 13 × 17 mm intradural mass with compression of the spinal cord and myelomalacia between C6 and Th1. We performed unilateral laminectomies of C6-Th1 and microsurgical resection of a meningioma. Under intensive rehabilitation, the patient regained independent walking ability and recovery of bladder function and continence within six months postoperatively.

Guidelines for Writing Outcome
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
