Introduction: Spinal cord infarction is a serious neurovascular emergency due to its short-, medium-, and long-term complications.
Case Report: A 54-year-old patient with no previous history or particular condition hospitalized for an acute spinal cord injury, with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showing medullar ischemia without any etiology found. The evolution was marked by a good motor evolution.
Conclusion: Medullary infarction is a serious pathology under-diagnosed in our context because of the difficult accessibility of MRI.
Keywords: Ischemia, MRI, Spinal cord
