Spinal cord injury during windsurfing.
Two patients are described who developed severe pain in the thoracic region after windsurfing in rough weather. On examination there were signs of a thoracic cord lesion. Investigations revealed no evidence of cord compression and, since the symptoms and signs resolved spontaneously, an ischaemic aetiology is postulated.
