Fibrocartilaginous embolism of the posterior spinal artery: A case report regarding the responsible intervertebral disc on magnetic resonance imaging.

In the presented case, MRI did not reveal the responsible disc lesion when the diagnosis of spinal cord infarction was made; however, it became evident 5 days later. Although such a disc signal change within several days has not been described as a clue suggesting FCE, follow-up MRI with a relatively short interval may elucidate the responsible lesion and correct diagnosis.
