T2 signal in the anterior aspect of the spinal cord beginning at the T4 level and extending to the conus without associated edema or contrast enhancement (Figures 1, 2). The additional diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) of the spinal cord did not have a sufficient resolution.
MRI of the thoracic spine, axial view: non-enhancing T2-hyperintensity in the anterior and centromedullar regions of the spinal cord. The arrowheads point indicates the abnormal cord signal.
