Abstract

|
|
|
Spinal cord infarction is rare, especially cervical cord infarction is lesser than thoracic and lumbar level. We describe two cases of cervical cord infarction following cerebellar infarction with vertebral artery occlusion, which initially presented with chest pain and dyspnea. Blood supply for the cervical cord comes from anterior and posterior spinal artery, which originated from the distal vertebral or posterior inferior cerebellar arteries. Therefore, occlusion of unilateral vertebral artery could cause a cervical cord infarction.
