Spinal cord ischemia is exceptionally uncommon, accounting for 0.3–1% of all strokes. Here, we reported the case of a 64-year-old patient with spinal cord ischemia secondary to atrial fibrillation. Spinal magnetic resonance imaging showed increased intramedullary signal intensity at the T9 level in T2-weighted. An electrocardiogram showed atrial fibrillation. The patient was given corticosteroids and antiplatelet agent therapy. After 8 weeks of rehabilitation, the patient was able to walk with the support of a medical walker.
