This interesting article describes the case of a 8-year-old girl presenting with total paraplegia 2 h after minor trauma without vertebral fracture or dislocation [1]. The first MRI of the spine was unremarkable. Consecutive examinations revealed T2-hyperintensity of the spinal cord from T11 to C6 with cytotoxic edema below the C6 level probably due to spinal cord infarction following fibrocartilaginous embolism. Four weeks after the trauma a follow-up MRI showed minor lesions at C6 level and spinal cord atrophy at T11 level. The patient remained paraplegic. …
