Spinal Cord Edema : If spinal cord edema is present, surgery to prevent further damage is usually recommended. Make sure the swelling is from trauma to the spinal cord and not from other causes such as a tumor or demyelinating disease (example multiple sclerosis). Discuss these alternatives with your surgeon or radiologist.
