Table 6. Initial SCI location, length and location of chronic intramedullary lesions/cavitation, mCSA of intramedullary lesions/cavitations and severity of spinal cord atrophy in patients with positive outcome.

SCI–spinal cord injury, maximal CSA (mCSA)–maximal cross-sectional area, SCA–spinal cord atrophy. Mild mCSA of lesions—<35%, average—35–75% and severe– 75–100% of spinal cord diameter. Mild SCA—0.75–0.95, moderate—0.35–0.75 and severe–<0.35 in regard to unaffected spinal cord diameter cranially/caudally from lesion epicentre.
