Spinal cord infarction is rare, often presenting as paraparesis/paraplegia. While Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging is useful, early use may not reveal diagnostic changes, necessitating clinical diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Medicine
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Context:

  • Spinal cord infarction is an uncommon condition, with a lower incidence compared to cerebral vascular pathology.
  • Understanding the clinical presentation and diagnostic challenges of spinal cord infarction is crucial for effective patient management.

Purpose:

  • To review and analyze clinical histories of patients diagnosed with spinal cord infarction-ischemia.
  • To compare clinical and investigational findings with existing literature.

Summary:

  • A review of 12 patients (9 adults, 3 children) with spinal cord infarction revealed paraparesis/paraplegia as the most common presentation, often linked to anterior spinal artery involvement.
  • While Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging is a key diagnostic tool, early scans (24-48 hours) were normal in 5 cases. Children showed no improvement, whereas adults experienced significant recovery.

  • Diagnosis is primarily clinical, with differential diagnosis from other spinal disorders being essential. Early MR imaging may not be conclusive.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the clinical presentation and diagnostic considerations for spinal cord infarction.
    • Emphasizes the role and limitations of early MR imaging in diagnosing spinal cord infarction.
    • Suggests that clinical evaluation remains paramount in diagnosing spinal cord infarction, especially when imaging is inconclusive.
