Diffusion-weighted MR (DWI) is becoming an established method for the investigation of cerebral ischemia. Its value in spinal ischemia has to be demonstrated. We report on a patient presenting with postoperative paraparesis who underwent emergency MRI of the spine with echo-planar diffusion-weighted imaging which showed an area of hyperintensity corresponding to a decrease of diffusion as measured by the apparent diffusion coefficient. On follow-up imaging spinal stroke was confirmed. In conclusion, spinal echo-planar MR imaging can demonstrate ischemic changes despite strong echo-planar artifacts. It could become an important adjunct to the management of patients with suspected spinal ischemia.

An asymptomatic 50-year-old Japanese man was diagnosed with an aortic subannular left ventricular aneurysm during a routine physical checkup. Operative findings showed the subaortic aneurysm had developed beneath the noncoronary cusp of the aortic valve and expanded into the epicardium between the aortic root and left atrium. The operation involved patch closure of the orifice of the annular subaortic aneurysm, aortic valvuloplasty, and plication of the dilated ascending aorta.
