Spinal cord infarction may be limited to a vascular territory or be more extensive according to its pathogenesis. The affectation of the anterior spinal artery is the most common and is characterized by bilateral motor deficits and loss of thermoalgesic sensitivity, which could have a great impact on the quality of life of patients. Its etiology is varied, including aortic surgery within its causes. MRI is very useful for its diagnosis and currently there are no clinical guides for the optimal treatment.
