Résumé : The observation of a patient suffering from severe aorta atheromatosis is reported. In the first stage, an asymmetrical paraplegia resulted from spontaneous emboli (consisting of fibrinous material and cholesterol crystals) in the intraspinal branches of the anterior spinal artery. In the second stage a few months later, the patient died of the same type of emboli induced by retrograde aortography and damaging the kidneys, the intestine and the pancreas. The location of the infarction in the anterior the spinal artery area of is discussed and the danger of arterial catheterization after spontaneous emboli is stressed.
