Neurological examination revealed severe asymmetric spasticity with normal cranial nerves. Bayley developmental assessment showed a mental age of 12 months and a motor age of 9 months. Magnetic resonance imaging scan of the brain was normal, however a scan of the cervical spine showed an enhancing intramedullary lesion. Surgical exploration revealed an aneurysm which was successfully embolized. The differential diagnosis of cervical cord lesions in infants is discussed.
