[Differential diagnosis of acute spinal cord diseases].
We discuss the most important differential diagnosis in acute non traumatic spinal cord lesions. To therapy these patients, a large diagnostic and therapeutic spectrum must be considered. Nontraumatic spinal cord lesions include inflammatoric, immunologic, toxic-metabolic and physical reasons, tumours, bleedings, myelomalazies, neurodegenerative myelopathies and spinal deformities. The aimes of rehabilitation of these patients are almost similar to patients with tramatic spinal cord injured.
