Paraplegia is the symptom of paralysis that mainly affects your legs (though it can sometimes affect your lower body and some of your arm abilities, too). This usually happens because of injuries to your nervous system, especially your spinal cord, but it can also happen with various medical conditions and diseases.
Causes of paraplegia
Spine tumors including cancers can involve cancer that develops on or around your spinal cord, or that starts elsewhere in your body and spreads to your spine.
Congenital conditions (that you have when you’re born) where you have a problem with your spine or spinal cord structure, such as myelomeningocele or spina bifida.
Autoimmune or inflammatory conditions like Guillain-Barré syndrome, multiple sclerosis or transverse myelitis.
Motor vehicle crashes. Penetrating injuries (especially from gunshot or stab wounds).Falls (especially in older adults with bone density-related conditions like osteoporosis or osteopenia).
In conclusion, If you’re with someone who has an injury that could affect their spine, it’s very important that you call your local emergency services number immediately and avoid doing anything that could make the injury worse. Moving someone with a possible spinal cord injury in the wrong way can cause permanent damage. All informations are gotten from cleave land clinics.
