W J Peacock et al. S Afr Med J. .

Abstract

Patients with spinal cord stabwounds accounted for over one-quarter of the more than 1 600 patients with spinal cord injury admitted to this unit during 13 years. Over half the lesions were of the Brown-Séquard type. Functional recovery was good in nearly two-thirds of patients. The principles of treatment are discussed.
