title: Treatment results of spinal cord injuries in the Swiss Parplegic Centre of Basle.
abstract: The results concerning the last 117 acute traumatic spinal cord lesions admitted in the Swiss Paraplegic Centre of Basle have been analysed as regards the rate of neurological recovery. The treatment not only concerns the vertebral damage but also the medical aspects of the spinal cord lesion itself. The routine use of combined Dexamethasone, Rheomacrodex and Hydergine in the very early treatment might have accounted for encouraging results which need to be confirmed in the future.
