Spinal cord ischemia is a medical emergency due to hypoperfusion or embolization of the spinal artery. The onset of symptoms is abrupt and the clinical presentation depends on the medullary territory involved. The most frequent causes are atherosclerotic disease, aortic surgery and less commonly, aortic dissection, which is associated with serious complications and greatest risk of mortality. This article describes the case of a patient with an acute spinal infarction as the first manifestation of an intramural hematoma in a thoracic aortic aneurysm.
