Abstract A case of aneurysm of the posterior spinal artery of the upper cervical spinal cord is presented. The patient had severe intracranial subarachnoid hemorrhage with disturbance of consciousness. Four-vessel angiograms showed neither anomalous arrangement of the arteries nor arteriovenous malformation intracranially or in the spinal subarachnoid space. Operation disclosed a thrombosed aneurysm of the posterior spinal artery, which was radically excised and histologically examined. (Neurosurgery 22:558-560, 1988)

Context. We describe a case of unilateral posterior upper cervical spinal cord infarction and propose a pathophysiologic mechanism causing this lesion after vertebral artery endovascular intervention. Findings. A 70-year-old male presented with subacute onset of left hemibody sensory changes and gait instability following a left vertebral angioplasty procedure. MRI cervical spine revealed upper posterior cervical spinal cord infarction (PSCI). After 3 months patient had substantial improvement of his symptoms. Conclusion. PSCI is rare but can present as a complication from vertebral artery angioplasty procedure. Early diagnosis of PSCI can be achieved with adequate understanding of its clinical signs and the blood supply of the spinal cord.
