  • Title: Hemi-spinal cord infarction due to vertebral artery dissection in congenital afibrinogenemia.
    Author: Laufs H, Weidauer S, Heller C, Lorenz M, Neumann-Haefelin T.
    Journal: Neurology; 2004 Oct 26; 63(8):1522-3. PubMed ID: 15505182.
    Abstract:
    Isolated ischemia of the cervical spinal cord is an uncommon but increasingly recognized complication of vertebral artery dissection (VAD). The authors report a young patient with congenital afibrinogenemia, who developed VAD with extensive unilateral spinal cord infarction, probably caused by local compression of spinal radicular feeders at their origin by vertebral artery hematoma.
