“…Of 900 infants autopsied after death before 4 weeks, 21 showed evidence of hypoxic/ischemic spinal cord damage [9]. Spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormality (SCIWORA) represents a mean incidence of 34.8% of traumatic pediatric spinal cord injuries [10]. Spinal cord ischemia is one of four proposed mechanisms for SCIWORA [11].…”

“…One follow-up study of 8 patients with cord infarction included two children: one had improvement in neurological function, and the other had deterioration [93]. There are reports of varied outcomes in children with spinal cord trauma [10,11,[94][95][96][97][98], but there is no confirmation of spinal cord infarction and many of the children had vertebral fractures. Moffett and Berkowitz reviewed outcomes in 19 children with bacterial meningitis and spinal cord infarction, finding death in 5 patients, some improvement in 12 patients, and return to normal function in 2 patients [58].…”

“…Desde o início do uso do acrônimo SCIWORA, em 1982, vários estudos têm sido publicados sobre esta síndrome [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] . Em aproximadamente 35% dos pacientes pediátricos vítimas de traumatismos com lesão medular não se evidenciam alterações ósseas ou ligamentares 4 .…”

“…Os autores estudaram crianças vítimas de traumatismos que apresentavam mielopatia com resultados normais de radiografia, tomografia computadorizada (TC) e mielografia da coluna vertebral 2 . Acredita-se que ocorram cerca de 1000 novos casos de lesão medular em crianças por ano no Canadá 3 , sendo 1% a 10% de etiologia traumática 4,5 . A incidência de SCIWORA em pacientes pediátricos com mielopatia decorrente de traumatismos varia de 5% a 67%, a média dentre a maioria das séries relatadas sendo 34,8% 4 .…”
