Bowel or bladder dysfunction. Dependingontheetiology, patients with acute cord compression
may present with underactivity, overactivity, or normal activity of bowel and bladder pathways.
Trauma may causeaperiod ofneurogenic spinalshock (seethe Examinationsectiononpage262)
resultinginflaccid bowel andbladder tone, which resultinfecalimpactionandoverflow urinary
incontinence. Other types of compression above the conus may disrupt coordination between the
sphincters and the musculature ofthe bowel or bladder wall,leading toacombination ofurgency
and incomplete evacuation. Conus medullaris syndrome, discussed later, leads to flaccid tone
resemblingposttraumaticneurogenicshock.
