title: [Classification of neurological disorders in tuberculous spondylitis].
abstract: The paper summarizes surveys of over 2500 patients with tuberculous spondylitis complicated by neurological disorders of the spinal cord. The authors identified 5 grades of these disorders: from reflex disorders to limb plegia and pelvic dysfunctions. The classification proposed made it possible to clearly systematize spinal cord disorders in patients with tuberculous spondylitis, to establish a topical diagnosis and the severity of spinal cord lesions, to choose surgical accesses and method for stabilizing the spine, and to make a research processing of clinical and neurological data.
