Abstract
Diseases of the aorta and surgery of the aorta can produce spinal cord damage. There are major variations in blood supply to the spinal cord between individuals. The spinal cord may be tamponaded by increased spinal fluid pressure subsequent to clamping the aorta. Both of these factors may contribute to spinal cord infarction. The available methods and procedures to protect the spinal cord during surgery are discussed.Keywords
