Spinal cord stroke
A spinal cord stroke happens when blood flow to the spinal cord is blocked or when a vessel bursts and bleeds. This damage prevents the spinal cord from sending normal signals to the body. It is very rare, making up less than 1% of all strokes. Symptoms The condition often begins with sudden, sharp pain in the back or neck. Weakness or paralysis may appear in the legs or arms. Sensation changes can include numbness, tingling, burning, or loss of temperature awareness. Other signs may involve bladder or bowel problems, muscle spasms, sexual dysfunction, or breathing difficulties if the upper spinal cord is affected. Causes An ischemic spinal stroke occurs when a clot blocks blood flow. A hemorrhagic spinal stroke results from bleeding inside the spinal cord, often linked to high blood pressure or aneurysms. Vascular malformations can also raise the risk. Risk factors Lifestyle risks include smoking, heavy alcohol use, and lack of exercise. Medical risks include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and clotting disorders. Other causes may be aortic disease, spinal degeneration, or complications after spinal anesthesia. What to do If a spinal cord stroke is suspected, call emergency services immediately. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to survival and recovery.
