Summary Statement

The spinal cord showed marked sensibility to acute compression causing complete and irreversible injury. On the contrary, the spinal cord has more ability for adaptation to slow progressive compression mechanisms having the possibility of neural recovery after compression release.

Introduction

The aim of this experimental study was to establish, by means of neurophysiologic monitoring, the degree of compression needed to cause neurologic injury to the spinal cord, and analyze whether these limits are different making fast or slow compression.
