Clinical abnormalities of the spinal cord lead to great disability resulting from severe disruption of motor, sensory, and autonomic functions. The distinct longitudinal organization of ascending and descending fiber tracts in the spinal cord, coupled with the segmental groupings of neurons with motor, sensory, and autonomic functions, often allow relatively precise localization of the lesion responsible for a spinal cord syndrome.
