Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Medicine
  • Pediatric Neurology

Background:

  • Spinal cord ischemia is a rare neurological condition.
  • Simultaneous spinal cord and vertebral body infarction is exceptionally rare, with prior cases reported only in adults.

Observation:

  • A 15-year-old female presented with sudden onset myelopathy and vertebral column pain.
  • Serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was utilized for diagnosis.
  • Bone infarction was identified as a key diagnostic finding.

Findings:

  • The patient experienced simultaneous infarction of the spinal cord and vertebral body.
  • Bone infarction served as a confirmatory sign of the vascular etiology of the spinal lesion.
  • This represents the first documented pediatric case of this condition.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of spinal cord ischemia in pediatric populations.
  • Highlights the importance of considering vascular events in young patients presenting with myelopathy.
  • Suggests bone infarction can be a critical indicator in diagnosing spinal vascular events in children.
