Abstract

Background: Traumatic and ischemic injuries of spinal cord are active at malfunctioning of damaged tissue at primary and secondary mechanisms. Monoammins free radicales, neuropeptits,arachidonic acids metobolites,and extracellular Ca variations are important at development of early ischemic and main causes of the secondary damage at progrediens tissue ischemic.
