The paraplegia was caused by a unilateral lesion located between the cervicomedullary junction and the C2 level, where it involved both crossed and uncrossed pyramidal fibres projecting to the lower extremities. Since a vascular lesion near the cervicomedullary junction is likely to be missed, special attention should be paid to this region when investigating subarachnoid haemorrhage with paraplegia. ER -
