Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Spinal cord infarction is a rare disease. It is even more uncommon that spinal cord infarction occurs in a patient without any cardiovascular disease. Anterior spinal artery syndrome is much more common than the posterior spinal artery syndrome due to the difference in collateral supply. We present two patients with spinal cord infarction. In both patients, the clinical picture was stereotyped: sudden onset of weakness of limbs, sensory loss below the level of infarction and sphincter dysfunction. Treatment for the two patients was supportive and they had a good recovery over a period of weeks.
