Initial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with contrast on admission. (A) T2-weighted and (B, C) post-contrasted T1-weighted images showed spinal cord swelling with peripheral enhancement mainly located at the left-sided C5-7 levels (white arrow). Subsequent MRI with contrast medium after secondary intravenous methylprednisolone demonstrated regression of the spinal cord swelling and diminished enhanced lesions (D: T2-weighted, E, F: post-contrasted T1-weighted images).

Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed spinal cord swelling mainly at left-sided C5-7 levels with peripheral enhancement, suggestive of inflammatory or demyelinating diseases (Fig. 1A-C). Subsequent MRI with contrast after the second IVMP revealed regression of the spinal cord swelling and less enhanced lesions (Fig. 1D-F).
