Abstract: White cord syndrome is a rare condition involving sudden neurological deterioration following a decompressive cervical spinal surgery and characterized by the appearance of hyperintensity on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. We present a report of a pediatric male patient who presented with the condition. This case shows that white cord syndrome can also be present in pediatric patients.
