ABSTRACT
Ascertaining the etiology of cervical spinal cord dysfunction presents a challenge to clinicians, as the list of differential diagnoses is extensive. Although compressive and inflammatory disorders are common and should be considered immediately, vascular causes are similarly important and acute. The overlap of clinical, magnetic resonance imaging, and cerebrospinal fluid features among the causes of myelopathies may lead to erroneous diagnoses. Such errors may be compounded if routine vascular imaging does not reveal the underlying vasculopathy. We present here three cases in which computed tomography angiography and magnetic resonance angiogram could not clarify the nature of an acute myelopathy, whereas digital subtraction angiography established the diagnosis of spinal cord ischemia.
