Summary

The first recorded instance of spinal cord infarction was by Sir Astley Cooper [1]. In 1825 Cooper ligated the abdominal aorta of a patient who, soon after, developed loss of feeling in his lower limbs and incontinence of urine. The patient died after several days and a postmortem was carried out but not of the spinal cord.
