Abstract
In this article we present a case of sudden onset bilateral lower limb weakness in a young female secondary to an acute spinal cord infraction after a long haul flight. Our case highlights the importance of early recognition of the clinical symptoms and signs associated with this condition and the role of properly optimised diagnostic imaging.
