Subacute Combined Degeneration: A Case With Spinal MRI Findings Improving Before The Clinical Features
Journal Title: Journal of Neurological Sciences-Turkish - Year 2007, Vol 24, Issue 2
Abstract
We report a 66-year-old lady with myelopathy due to vitamin B12 deficiency. Spinal MRI revealed coalescent hyperintensities of the dorsal cervical and thoracic spinal cord on T2-weighted images. After three months of vitamin B12 treatment MRI findings disappeared before complete remission of the clinical features.
