Spinal cord injuries (SCI) are due to a traumatic injury that results in a bruise (contusion), or a partial tear or a complete tear (transection) in the spinal cord. Because the spinal cord is a bundle of nerves that carries messages between the brain and the rest of the body, SCI is a common cause of permanent disability and death in children.
