Unruptured aneurysm with intramural thrombus is an unusual cause of spinal cord infarction: a case report

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: Infarction of the spinal cord is a rather rare occurrence. Paraparesis or quadriparesis with vibration and proprioceptive senses sparing are symptoms of anterior cord syndrome. Ischemic anterior cord syndrome can result from an obstruction of the anterior spinal artery or the Adamkiewicz Artery. Spinal infarction due to abdominal aortic aneurysm with intramural thrombosis is an extremely rare condition, because of its rarity, it presents a diagnostic difficulty to clinicians, which may result in an inaccurate or delayed diagnosis. We present a case of spontaneous spinal cord infarction due to a previously asymptomatic aortic aneurysm with intraluminal thrombus, with a review of the literature.
