title: [Vascular myelopathies: anterior spinal artery syndrome. Considerations on 4 cases].
abstract: Four cases of acute onset myelopathy in which clinical and instrumental findings led to the diagnosis of anterior spinal artery syndrome are reported. The physiopathology, clinical medicine and treatment of vascular myelopathies are discussed on the basis of the series presented and reported data. It is also pointed out that vascular aetiology underlies a certain number of acute myelopathies, otherwise classified indiscriminately as myelitis.
