High signal intensity (white arrow) was observed on the cervical and lower thoracic spinal cord as well as the cauda equina in T-1-weighted MRI images after gadolinium injection. A = anterior, MRI = magnetic resonance imaging, P = posterior.

Cerebrospinal fluid analysis and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the whole spine were performed for differential diagnosis of acute flaccid paralysis. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis parameters were within normal ranges; however, whole spine MRI after gadolinium injection showed high signal intensity on the cervical and lower thoracic spinal cord as well as cauda equina in the T-1-weighted image (Figure 1).
