The Division Of Clinical Neurological Syndromes.

The division of syndromes that are related to the specific pain in the spine and extremities, is primarily not quite correct in the aspect of classification approaches. It is obvious that both totals of syndromes are grouped together according to various signs as follows: as a sign of compression syndromes, mechanism of their occurrence is selected. As a sign of reflex syndromes – the way of their pathogenic formation is chosen. Of course, such heterogeneity of classifications admits the arbitrariness of the division and mutual transitions of the classified clinical manifestations from one group to another.

Thus, compression mechanisms of damage inevitably causes to the launch of pathogenetic reflex disorders.
On the other hand, a group of clinical manifestations, marked as the reflex disorders, does not exclude the compression mechanisms of their occurrence. Speaking generally about the reflex manifestations, it will probably be superfluous mention about them as a universal way of functioning of the body and its systems both as the norm and the pathology. Thus, pain caused with knee or hip arthrosis is unlikely to find as a neurological reflex syndrome of the arthrosis. It is despite the fact it is with the whole complex of associated muscle, autonomic, postural biomechanical disorders that are similar to lumbalgia, for instance osteochondrosis. The same can be said, for example, about the reflex cough in bronchitis.
It seems that the most appropriate division of clinical neurological syndromes in dystrophic pathology of the spine would have been the traditional division into syndromes of loss when there are cases with radicular paresis and hypesthesia and irritable syndromes while appropriate radicular disorders occur.

Also, we should say some words about the pathophysiological and structural processes in the roots during their mechanical damage. What lies at the basis of clinical radicular disorders, what are the pathological changes in the roots? It was determined that vertebral degenerative changes cause the compression of the spine or, to be more precisely, cause its mechanical damage. However, neither the one nor the other is one of the accepted forms of pathological changes. Attempting to use the term “radiculopathy” in this situation means only the presence of the clinically revealed signs of injury a spine without getting significantly closer to understanding of the nature of its pathological changes.
By analogy with the “neuropathy” term, radiculopathy should imply the lesion of primary degenerative character that is caused by various reasons such as intoxication, vitamin deficiency, vascular and some other processes (according to Antonov I.P., 1981). Compression of nerve roots in the same tunnel syndrome leads to a compression-ischemic neuropathy. Its quite same type of pathological processes should be distinguished from that one occurring when there is vertebrogenic spine injury, related to the complexity of its relationship with the entities of the spinal canal. In this case the effect is manifested as the autonomic-vascular one, reactive inflammation, stagnation and other factors (according to Antonov I.P., 1983). And clinical manifestations of radicular disorders depend on the degree of the roots involvement in the pathological process.
