title: Spinal cord ischaemic stroke associated with vertebral body infarction.
abstract: Only eight cases of spinal cord ischaemic stroke causing paraplegia with associated vertebral body infarction have been previously described. We describe a ninth case with histopathology confirming the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) appearance of vertebral body infarction. We have reviewed the literature concerning this condition and discuss its diagnosis and aetiology.
