Spinal cord infarction. An 82-year-old female with hypertension and hyperlipidaemia presents with acute bilateral lower extremity weakness. a Axial T2 image demonstrates a large cross-sectional area of hyperintensity (arrow) within the thoracic cord. b Axial CT angiogram image shows mural thrombus within the aorta (arrow) at the same level of the spinal cord findings with no appreciable filling of the lumbar arteries. Sagittal T2 (c), DWI (d) and ADC (e) images reveal a long-segment intramedullary lesion in the lower cord (arrows) that is T2 hyperintense and has restricted diffusion
