There is a limited list of emergent spinal cord pathology that must be considered in patients with focal neurological deficits in the emergency department. Identification of these conditions requires a detailed history and neurological exam and may also require advanced testing and imaging.
Here we present the case of a patient with a rare arteriovenous malformation of the spinal cord vessels causing congestive myelopathy (Foix-Alajouanine syndrome) that presented as a clinical mimic of spinal cord compression.
Emergency physicians should be aware of Foix-Alajouanine syndrome, as its workup and management differ from more common pathologies that may present similarly.
在急诊科,对于有局灶性神经功能缺损的患者,必须考虑的急性脊髓病变种类有限。识别这些病症需要详细的病史和神经学检查,可能还需要先进的检测和影像学检查。
在此,我们报告一例罕见的脊髓血管动静脉畸形导致充血性脊髓病(福-阿二氏综合征)的病例,该病例临床表现酷似脊髓压迫症。
急诊医生应了解福-阿二氏综合征,因为其检查和治疗与可能有相似表现的更常见病症不同。
