Abstract

Spinal cord infarction is rare in children. Most described cases are in association with aortic surgery or arterial hypotension. In children, infarction can be confused with the more common disorder transverse myelitis as the magnetic resonance imaging findings and clinical presentation are often similar. We describe here a case of spontaneous spinal cord infarct initially treated as transverse myelitis.
