Spinal Cord strokes are a rare medical condition.
Spinal cord infarction is a stroke either within the spinal cord or the arteries that supply it.
Like with the more common cerebral stroke the prognosis is better with timely treatment.
Recovery depends upon how quickly treatment is received and how severely the body is compromised. Paralysis may persist for many weeks or be permanent. Most individuals have a good chance of recovery.
