Spinal Cord Ischemia Related to Disc Herniation:Case Report and a Review of the Literature Int Med Case Rep J 14:429-433, Aalbers,M.W.,et al, 2021 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract We report a case of acute progressive myelopathy due to spinal cord ischemia related to thoracic disc herniation initially managed by Th8 laminectomy with reduction of the herniated disc. Repeat imaging showed T2-weighted hyperintensity in the posterior cord. The clinical and radiological course supports posterior spinal artery ischemia. This case illustrates and a review of the literature shows that thoracic disc herniation may be complicated by ischemic myelopathy even in the absence of cord compression.
