Abstract

A 49-year-old woman presented with stupor and paraplegia following an induced hypotension. The temporal relationship to the induced hypotension and the absence of a clear embolic source on diagnostic tests support a causal association between the hypotensive episode and the ischemic infarct. However, despite the association, a cause-and-effect relationship could not be automatically inferred.
