  • Title: Paraplegia After Basketball Play: A Case of Spinal Cord Infarction Secondary to Fibrocartilaginous Embolization.
    Author: Vijay CS, Nield TR, Nield LS.
    Journal: Pediatr Emerg Care; 2021 Jul 01; 37(7):e401-e403. PubMed ID: 30399067.
    Abstract:
    Pediatric emergency medicine providers must be astute at generating the differential diagnosis and performing the appropriate evaluation to promptly determine the underlying cause of new onset paraplegia. Spinal cord infarction (SCI) is a potential etiology of paraplegia in children, and fibrocartilaginous embolization is a rare underlying cause of SCI. We present an illustrative case of SCI secondary to fibrocartilaginous embolization in an otherwise healthy adolescent who developed symptoms of spinal cord dysfunction after basketball play.
