A spinal cord infarction happens when blood supply to part of the spinal cord is interrupted, causing tissue damage. It can develop suddenly or gradually and may cause neurological symptoms. An MRI may show signal changes in the spinal cord consistent with a loss of blood supply. Identifying a spinal cord infarction allows for investigation into the underlying vascular cause and management that may help prevent further events.
