In the late stage of spinal cord cavernous disease, there are not only sensory deficits such as loss of pain and temperature sensation, but also motor deficits such as muscle weakness and muscle atrophy, etc. If the above symptoms appear, it is usually considered that the disease has reached the late stage.
In the early stage of spinal cord cavernous disease, there will be spontaneous pain in the corresponding innervated area, followed by loss of superficial sensation, while the deep sensation is relatively normal, and the prognosis is relatively good after timely treatment.
If the disease is not detected and treated in time, it may reach the advanced stage, which involves the entire segment from the medulla oblongata to the spinal cord cones, and in the advanced stage, it will not only show sensory impairment, but also muscle atrophy of one or both sides of the hand and forearm, and even motor dysfunction such as paraplegia of the lower limbs and urinary and fecal incontinence.
It is recommended that patients suffering from spinal cord cavernous disease should seek timely medical treatment, and actively treat under the guidance of the doctor, so as to avoid delaying the condition and causing serious consequences.
