Medullar infarcts are rare and are responsible for various neurological deficits that may consist of severe paraplegia or quadriplegia. The incidence of medullar infarcts is very low compared to that of cerebral infarcts

We report a case of medullar infarct of the posterior spinal cervical area observed in a 55-year-old patient hospitalized in the neurology department of the University Hospital of Cocody, Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
