Spinal cord injury (SCI) following endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) for an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a rare but serious complication. Case 1 presented with ruptured AAA and shock and underwent emergency EVAR. The patient developed incomplete paraplegia 2 days following EVAR. Case 2, diagnosed with impending rupture of AAA with extremely shaggy aorta, was treated with emergency EVAR. The patient was diagnosed with complete paraplegia soon after EVAR. Case 3 underwent elective EVAR and developed delayed paraplegia 2 weeks later. In EVAR, the etiology of SCI leading to paraplegia is often multifactorial. Surgeons must consider the possibility of SCI-induced paraplegia.
