Case Scenarios and Questions, part 1

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The first half of the video is a review of spinal cord injury, including a case scenario of a 26-year-old man involved in a motor vehicle crash. The video discusses his sensory, motor, and neurologic levels, Asian impairment scale grade, and zone of partial preservation. The answers to these classifications are provided in the video. The video also discusses the functional outcome of the patient at one year, which is likely a manual wheelchair without push-rim modifications. The second case scenario is about a 58-year-old woman with back pain, difficulty walking, numbness in her feet, and urinary incontinence. The primary concern is a metastatic extradural spinal cord compression.
