Abstract
- Ischemic myelopahty of spinal cord after cardiac arrest is rarely reported. In general brain stem and spinal cord is less vulnerable to ischemic injury than cerebrum and cerebellum. Ischemic myelopathy usually occurs in the midthoracic region (T3~T8) and rarely reported after cardiac arrest. In this case previously healthy 62 year old patient suffered from cardiac arrhythmia for a few days and then developed cardiac arrest and sustained paraplegia due to ASIA class B spinal cord injury. After paraplegia MRI showed predominant involvement of the anterior horn cell area in the midthoracic region.
