Article Abstract
Ten patients with spinal cord infarction were followed up after 1 to 27 (median,3)years to establish the sequelae of the disease in the long term. Eight surviving patients were interviewed about mobility,pain,and activities of daily living.All 8 patients had residual weakness in the legs;7 of them were able to live at home without professional help.All but 1 suffered from continuous pain,which was not dependent on the degree of weakness.Motor function had improved to some extent in all patients,but pain is a disabling feature in the long term.
