Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Neurology
  • Spinal Cord Medicine

Background:

  • Spinal cord infarction is a rare cause of neurological deficits.
  • Brown-Séquard syndrome is characterized by hemisection of the spinal cord.

Observation:

  • A 55-year-old woman presented with acute back pain and right-sided Brown-Séquard syndrome.
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) identified an acute infarction in the right posterior spinal artery affecting the Th5-Th10 region.

Findings:

  • The patient's symptoms were attributed to a spinal cord infarction.
  • The location of the infarction correlated with the observed neurological deficits.

Implications:

  • Sudden onset of Brown-Séquard syndrome warrants consideration of spinal cord infarction.
