Vertebral Body Infarction as a Confirmatory Sign of Spinal Cord Ischemic Stroke, Report of Three Cases & Review of Lit Stroke 29:239-243, Faig,J.,et al, 1998 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Three cases are presented and the literature reviewed.In addition to an extensive diagnostic battery including an initial MRI without pathological signs,followup MRI at different time intervals from the onset of symptoms showed T2 hyperintense signals in vertebral bodies.Vertebral body infarction represents the only confirmatory sign for the otherwise exclusionary diagnostic procedure for spinal cord ischemic stroke and must be searched for on followup MRI as a key to correct diagnosis.
