Abstract: | Treatment with high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone is safe and may be associated with significant neurologic improvement in acute spinal cord injury patients. Accurate calculation and administration of the prescribed therapy and identification and assessment of complications should be incorporated into the overall standard of care for the acute spinal cord injury patient. |
