Abstract
Unilateral anterior cervical spinal cord infarction may present with acute ipsilateral segmental neuropathic pain, lower motor neurone-type weakness, contralateral thermoanalgesia and no pyramidal signs. The ipsilateral pain provides novel evidence that in some instances, ventral roots can play a role in nociception in humans. The infarcted territory may result from occlusion of a sulcal commissural artery or a number of more proximal vessels (including a single or duplicated anterior spinal artery, vertebral arteries or feeding radicular arteries).
