This case report describes a patient who presented with low back pain, headache and urinary retention. He developed altered mental status with right lower extremity hemiparesis. He was subsequently found to have subarachnoid haemorrhage and was ultimately diagnosed with a ruptured aneurysm of the artery of Adamkiewicz. At 11-week follow-up, he had made a significant recovery and was functioning at a modified independent level. This case report explores previous cases of ruptured artery of Adamkiewicz aneurysms as a rare cause of spinal cord injury, and discusses management and recovery for these injuries.
