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.

Brown Sequard Syndrome

Sulcal arteries perfuse the anterior two-thirds of the spinal cord, and spinal cord infarction as a result of sulcal artery occlusion is rare. Most reported cases are associated with vertebral artery dissection, and commonly involve the cervical spinal cord. A 74-year-old man presented with sudden onset weakness and numbness after a brief bout of abdominal pain. Further investigations concluded that this was sulcal artery syndrome. We report a case of sulcal artery syndrome affecting the thoracic spinal cord presenting as Brown–Sequard syndrome. Sulcal artery syndrome usually has good prognoses, unlike anterior spinal artery infarction.
