A spinal cord injury (SCI) is damage to the spinal cord that causes temporary or permanent changes in its function. Symptoms may include loss of muscle function, sensation, or autonomic function in the parts of the body served by the spinal cord below the level of the injury. Injury can occur at any level of the spinal cord and can be complete, with a total loss of sensation and muscle function at lower sacral segments, or incomplete, meaning some nervous signals are able to travel past the injured area of the cord up to the Sacral S4-5 spinal cord segments. Depending on the location and severity of damage, the symptoms vary, from numbness to paralysis, including bowel or bladder incontinence. Long term outcomes also range widely, from full recovery to permanent tetraplegia (also called quadriplegia) or paraplegia. Complications can include muscle atrophy, loss of voluntary motor control, spasticity, pressure sores, infections, and breathing problems. In the majority of cases the damage results from physical trauma such as car accidents, gunshot wounds, falls, or sports injuries, but it can also result from nontraumatic causes such as infection, insufficient blood flow, and tumors. Just over half of injuries affect the cervical spine, while 15% occur in each of the thoracic spine, border between the thoracic and lumbar spine, and lumbar spine alone. Diagnosis is typically based on symptoms and medical imaging.Efforts to prevent SCI include individual measures such as using safety equipment, societal measures such as safety regulations in sports and traffic, and improvements to equipment.
Retinal tear accounts for 11.4–44% of vitreous hemorrhage cases. Posterior vitreous detachment
As one gets older, pockets of fluid can develop in the vitreous. When these pockets develop near the back of the eye, the vitreous can pull away from the retina and possibly tear it. Posterior vitreous detachment accounts for 3.7–11.7% of vitreous hemorrhage cases. Other causes
Less common causes of vitreous hemorrhage make up 6.4–18% of cases, and include:

Proliferative sickle cell retinopathy
Macroaneurysms
Age-related macular degeneration
Terson syndrome
Retinal neovascularization as a result of branch or central retinal vein occlusion
Other

Diagnosis
Vitreous hemorrhage is diagnosed by identifying symptoms, examining the eye, and performing tests to identify the cause. Some common tests include:

Examination of the eye with a microscope
Pupil dilation and examination
An ultrasound examination may be used if the doctor does not have a clear view of the back of the eye
Blood tests to check for specific causes such as diabetes
A CT scan to check for injury around the eye
Referral to a retinal specialist

Complications
Ghost cell glaucoma: Secondary open angle glaucoma caused by degenerated red blood cells. Treatments
The treatment method used depends on the cause of the hemorrhage. In most cases, the patient is advised to rest with the head elevated 30–45°, and sometimes to put patches over the eyes to limit movement prior to treatment in order to allow the blood to settle. The patient is also advised to avoid taking medications that cause blood thinning (such as aspirin or similar medications). The goal of the treatment is to fix the cause of the hemorrhage as quickly as possible.
