myelomalacia

With the growth in the elderly population of humans, there has been a rise to myelomalacia.

There is no known cure for nerve damage due to myelomalacia.

The onset of myelomalacia may be so subtle that it is overlooked.

Due to extensive physical contact and activity, many athletes become victim to myelomalacia.

The hope for a treatment for myelomalacia lies in the hands of stem cell research.

Because myelomalacia involves a damaged spinal cord, it may occur in any individual.

When myelomalacia occurs, the damage done to the spinal cord may range from minimal to extensive.

Myelomalacia affects the neurological functions in the spinal cord.

Any accidents or injuries attained during athletic competition to the spinal cord may result in myelomalacia.

Another consequence of myelomalacia is improper circulation of blood to the area damaged, resulting in further damage to the spinal cord.

A simple fall may trigger damage to the myelomalacia and spinal cord damage may soon ensue.

Because the human body begins to deteriorate with age, and because human population is living many years longer, there has been a growth in cases of myelomalacia.

There are two tests that can provide a definite diagnosis of myelomalacia; magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or myelography.

Gradual cranial migration of the neurological deficits (problems relating to the nervous system), is known as ascending syndrome and is said to be a typical feature of diffuse myelomalacia.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to visualize the internal structure of the body used in the diagnosing of myelomalacia.

Although clinical signs of myelomalacia are observed within the onset (start) of paraplegia, sometimes they may become evident only in the post-operative period, or even days after the onset of paraplegia.
