A review of the literature revealed five well-documented cases of abdominal aortic injury due to blunt, nonpenetrating trauma. An additional case report is offered. In all cases the level of aortic injury was at or distal to the origin of the inferior mesenteric artery. In five of these reports, including the present case, sudden traumatic occlusion of the distal abdominal aorta occurred and led to associated neurological deficit. The authors submit, based on clinical manifestations, selective angiography of spinal cord vasculature, and the operative experience of others, that these neurological deficits resulted from acute peripheral nerve ischemia and not from spinal cord ischemia as had been assumed in the past. The final neurological deficit due to acute peripheral nerve ischemia may masquerade as that seen with a "transverse" spinal cord lesion. However, the prognosis for recovery of neurological function differs markedly between the two conditions. All surviving patients experienced rapid resolution of their neurological deficits in the immediate postoperative period. Infrarenal aortic occlusion will not produce spinal cord infarction.
