What is Spinal Cord Hemorrhage?
This is a rare condition that occurs when there is bleeding (hemorrhage) into the spinal cord. Common causes include trauma, malformation of the blood vessels supplying the spinal cord, bleeding disorders, and complications from certain medical procedures. Some anti-blood clotting medications may increase the risk of this condition.

- Weakness in your arms or legs
- Difficulty walking normally
- Back pain or discomfort
- Both arms feel weak or difficult to move
- Reduced sensitivity to feeling pain
- Neck pain or stiffness

Diagnostic Questions for Spinal Cord Hemorrhage
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Are both of your legs feeling weak or difficult to move?
- Do you have weakness in your arms or legs?
- Do you have difficulty walking normally?
- Are you experiencing any back pain or discomfort?
- Are both of your arms feeling weak or difficult to move?
Treatment of Spinal Cord Hemorrhage
Treatment varies between individuals and depends on the underlying cause, location, and severity. Immediate management often focuses on relieving pressure on the spinal cord. Subsequent treatment may involve surgery, a procedure to cut off blood supply to the bleeding site, and medications.
