Adverse mechanical tension in the central nervous system: An analysis of cause and effect : relief by functional neurosurgery

Alf Breig

In order to examine the effects of the pathological forces that deform the soft tissues in the spinal canal a series of experimental studies were undertaken. Most of these have been performed on the cadaver. The pattern of deformation of the cord tissue when subjected to thrust and pincer forces was analysed histologicaHy and microangiographically, with supplementary photoelastic analyses performed on models. In addition, detailed clinical observations were made on patients in whom the effects of pathological deformation of the soft tissues in the spinal canal had been relieved surgically. During the course of these investigations new concepts of basic biomechanics and of neuropathology emerged and new terms have had to be coined. These basic concepts are outlined here at the outset.
