Abstract:
Spinal cord infarction is a rare type of central nervous system ischemic disease. Previous studies have mainly been based on a small number of clinical case reports and retrospective analyses. Its causes are diverse, mainly including vasogenic, systemic and iatrogenic diseases. Spinal cord infarction is mostly acute onset, and its clinical manifestation depends on the infarct location and infarct size, and is usually diagnosed based on combined MRI and other examinations. At present, there is no unified treatment plan for spinal cord infarction, and the mortality and disability are relatively higher. This article reviews the clinical characteristics of spinal cord infarction, and provides help for clinical decision making.
