A case report of fibrocartilaginous embolism (FCE) presenting as acute myelopathy.
To illustrate the clinical presentation and magnetic resonance imaging features of FCE.
Johns Hopkins Transverse Myelitis Center.
A 16-year-old boy was diagnosed with ischemic myelopathy secondary to FCE 2 years after symptom onset. Diagnosis was delayed because the clinical and radiological characteristics were not recognized initially. After rehabilitation, the patient made a modest recovery.
Diagnosis of FCE can be made by recognition of the characteristic clinical and radiological features and a high index of suspicion.
一例表现为急性脊髓病的纤维软骨栓塞(FCE)病例报告。
阐述FCE的临床表现及磁共振成像特征。
约翰·霍普金斯横贯性脊髓炎中心。
一名16岁男孩在症状出现2年后被诊断为继发于FCE的缺血性脊髓病。诊断延迟是因为最初未认识到其临床和放射学特征。经过康复治疗,患者有一定程度的恢复。
通过识别特征性的临床和放射学特征以及高度的怀疑指数可作出FCE的诊断。
