Spinal epidural neoplasia. A 15-year review of the results of surgical therapy.

abstract：:The T-13 spinal cord segment of dogs was compressed both acutely and chronically by means of a balloon catheter. The vascular permeability to protein was assessed using Evans blue albumin (EBA), and the dorsal column evoked potential recorded to monitor conduction failure. With acute compression sufficient to cause co...
