RESUMEN
Spinal cord infarction (SCI) is an uncommon vascular syndrome that leads to neurologic abnormalities with multiple implicated causes. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a non-surgical invasive procedure used to relieve an arterial occlusion or narrowing that causes ischemia to the heart. This is usually performed by different methods and different arterial access sites. Here, we present a case of a patient who developed bilateral lower limb weakness eight days after a femoral artery PCI and was diagnosed with SCI. This case report aims to document a rare complication and highlight the most important demographic, investigation, management, risk factors, and prognosis data available in the literature.
