Abstract |
Ischemic myelopathy is a rare and uncommon disease than the cerebral ischemia. Ischemia of spinal cord usually occur in the midthoracic regions (T4-T8). The major arteries supplying spinal cord are anterior and posterior spinal arteries. Anterior spinal artery is more responsible for the ischemic change of the spinal cord. We report a 45 years old man with ischemia of the spinal cord and acute renal failure due to rhabdomyolysis following the heavy alcohol ingestion. (J Korean Acad Rehab Med 2002; 26: 631-634) |
