Radiology

Question 1

Typical MRI appearance of MS lesions in the cervical spine?

Answer 1

• Common cause of intramedullary cord lesions, particularly in the cervical spinal cord
• Often eccentrically located and usually span < 1.5 vertebral bodies in length
• May be associated enhancement in setting of active demyelination
• Combined gray and white matter involvement is common in the spine (unlike the brain).
