Abstract
We report one case oi acute cervical spinal cord infarction characteri zed by motor impairment of the upper limbs with respect of the lower l imbs. It occurs unfrequently. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the clinical, neurophysiological and magnetic resonance imaging findin gs, and to review the presumed mechanisms of spinal cord infarction.
