Abstract
To complete our bibliographic review of spinal cord softenings, we now discuss the clinical and pathological findings in the cases of known or probable cause. Comparison of the diagnostic groups yields some differences in respect of sex, age and mode of onset, survival and extent of the anatomical lesion. Further differences, especially in age at onset, clinical pattern and lesion site, emerge from a comparison of these cases of known or probable cause with those whose cause is not apparent.
