In patients with a patent foramen (PFO) who have had a cryptogenic ischemic stroke, percutaneous closure reduces its recurrence risk. However, its role in spinal cord infarction (SCI) is less well-established. A few case reports describe the putative causative role of PFO in SCI. We present a case of a teenager with cryptogenic anterior SCI in the setting of a deep vein thrombosis and a high risk-PFO who underwent successful percutaneous closure.
在患有卵圆孔未闭(PFO)且发生过隐源性缺血性卒中的患者中,经皮封堵可降低其复发风险。然而,其在脊髓梗死(SCI)中的作用尚不明确。一些病例报告描述了PFO在SCI中可能的致病作用。我们报告一例青少年患者,其在深静脉血栓形成和高危PFO情况下发生隐源性前脊髓梗死,接受经皮封堵治疗成功。
