Abstract
Paraplegia and spinal cord injuries are issues of major concern to the actual medicine. But
recent advances have raised hopes for a better prognosis, which has always been poor or
infaust since medicine was practiced. However and interestingly enough, some concepts
and definitions on the occurrence have survived for millennia. Once encountered as an
issue, traumatic or non-traumatic paraplegia needs a multidisciplinary approach and a
careful staging of the problem. Different scales are available with Frankel's and American
Spinal Injury Association most widely used as alternatives or complementary tools. The
authors discuss therapeutic options with a special focus on the stem cell therapy which
has seen an impressive increase on the number of trials for a successful treatment.
Sourcing and yielding of stem cells are made possible through a number of techniques,
with material aspirated from bone marrow or adipose tissue, which are used along with
other sources of neuronal precursors such as olfactory ensheathing cells. Nevertheless,
large and multicenter studies are still lacking. However, with the quality of the ongoing
work and research, the optimistic attitude seems warranted. Meanwhile, other rehabilitation
and medical care interventions, always at hand, need to be applied in every individual
suffering from paraplegia and spinal cord injury.
