Spinal cord infarction presenting as Brown-Séquard syndrome from spontaneous vertebral artery dissection: a case report and literature review

摘要

Sagittal T2-weighted magnetic resonance image of cervical spine reveals spinal cord enlargement with hyperintense lesion at the level of C1–3 (red arrow). Axial T2WI shows hyperintense signal of right spinal cord (red arrow). This is consistent with spinal cord infarction (SCI). ( )( ) HR-MRI VISTA sequence shows narrowing of the right vertebral artery at the level of C1–3 with eccentric high signal parallel to the narrowed lumen (red arrow)
