Spinal Cord Infarction Secondary to Occlusion of the Anterior Spinal Artery

Arch Neurol. 1973;28(2):134-136.
Abstract
In an 82-year-old man with an aneurysm of the descending aorta, a cholesterol embolus caused complete occlusion of the anterior spinal artery and spinal cord infarction. There was paraplegia of sudden onset and loss of pain perception, with preservation of touch, vibration, and position senses. The infarction was largely confined to the anterior horns and gray commissure, and extended from the tenth thoracic segment through the lumbosacral cord.
