Bibliography: leaves 112-127. Study using an animal model (Sprague-Dawley rats) to elucidate the role of EAAs and spinal subarachnoid blockade in posttraumatic syringomelia. Results support the proposal that in posttraumatic spinal cord injury, primary injury and exitotoxic cell death, occuring secondary to elevated levels of EAAs, contribute to a pathologic process leading to the formation of spinal cavities, and a subarachnoid block by arachnoiditis is one of the pathogenic factors most responsible for initiating extension of the cavity.
