Abstract

Although catheter-related complications in intrathecal drug delivery systems are relatively common, vascular myelopathy secondary to occlusion of the artery of Adamkiewicz (AoA) from an abutting intrathecal catheter has not yet been reported. In this study, we present a case of this extremely rare presentation, which resolved after decompression of the artery.
