| spastic spinal paralysis | A type of cerebral palsy in which there is bilateral spasticity, with the lower extremities more severely affected. Compare: flaccid paralysis.

| spinal anaesthesia | A form of regional anaesthesia that involves the injection of an anaesthetic into the epidural space (in the spinal canal), at predetermined location along the spine, to produce anaesthesia in all body regions that are supplied by nerves that arise below the anatomic region of the block. Often used for obstetrical procedures. Origin: Gr. Aisthesis = sensation (27 Sep 1997) |
| spinal anaesthetic | A local anaesthetic agent producing loss of sensation when injected into the subarachnoid space. (05 Mar 2000) |

| spinal arteries | Branches of the following arteries which supply the meninges, the roots of the spinal nerves, and in some cases, the spinal cord: 1) vertebral, 2) ascending cervical, 3) dorsal branch of posterior intercostal I to XI, 4) dorsal branch of subcostal, 5) dorsal branch of lumbar arteries, 6) lumbar branch of iliolumbar, 7) lateral sacral; all spinal arteries give rise to radicular arteries supplying dorsal and ventral roots of spinal nerves, but some (4-9), are large enough to reach and anastomose with the anterior and posterior spinal arteries. Synonym: rami radiculares. See: medullary spinal arteries, arteria radicularis magna. Synonym: rami spinales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spinal ataxia | Ataxia due to spinal cord disease, as in tabes dorsalis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| spinal column | The series of vertebrae that extend from the cranium to the coccyx, providing support and forming a flexible bony case for the spinal cord. Synonym: columna vertebralis, backbone, dorsal spine, rachis, spina dorsalis, spina, spina, spinal column, spine, vertebrarium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spinal concussion | Injury to the spinal cord due to a blow to the vertebral column with transient or prolonged dysfunction below the level of the lesion. Synonym: spinal concussion. (05 Mar 2000) |
