Abstract
Introduction: Spinal cord infarction is a rare condition, often linked to underlying vascular disorders, including diabetes and atherosclerosis. Observation: We report the case of a 64-year-old man, diabetic, who presented with proprioceptive ataxia with progressive motor deficit. Spinal MRI revealed infarction at levels D2-D3 and D3-D4. Conclusion: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the examination of choice to confirm the diagnosis of spinal cord infarction. Rapid management, including strict control of risk factors and adapted rehabilitation, is essential to improve functional prognosis.
