  • Title: Spinal cord and vertebral stroke: a paediatric case.
    Author: Parazzini C, Rossi L, Righini A, Bianchini E, Mastrangelo M, Spreafico F, Triulzi F.
    Journal: Neuropediatrics; 2006 Apr; 37(2):107-9. PubMed ID: 16773511.
    Abstract:
    Spinal cord ischaemia is a rare entity and very few cases of simultaneous spinal cord and vertebral body infarction have been reported: all of them in adult age. We observed a 15-year-old girl with abrupt onset of myelopathy and pain at the vertebral column studied by means of serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and in whom bone infarction was a confirmatory sign of the vascular origin of the spinal lesion. This is to the best of our knowledge the first paediatric case described in the literature.
