Penetrating Stab-Wound Injury of the Thoracic Spinal Cord Without Neurological Deficits: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Surgery Research and Practice - Year 2025, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Penetrating Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is a rare form of traumatic injury to the spine, leading to serious effects on long-term morbidity and mortality. These injuries are mostly accompanied by neurological deficits. The benefit of surgical approach versus nonsurgical management of penetrating SCIs is a debated topic. Surgical approach must be done for progressive neurologic deficits or prolonged cerebrospinal fluid leakage. Penetrating SCIs have been shown to have devastating effects on morbidity and mortality. In this report, we present a patient who interestingly did not develop neurological deficits despite the transverse penetration of the spinal canal from posterior to anterior in the thoracic region. No case of thoracic spinal transverse injury has been reported in the literature.
