Sagittal T2-weighted image showing high signal intensity in cervical cord with syrinx formation from cervico-medullary to second cervical vertebral body, and patchy short segment altered signal intensity in second to fourth and seventh to eighth thoracic vertebral body levels.

Spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed long segment altered signal activity in the cervical cord extending from upper border of C2 vertebrae to upper border of C6 vertebrae with patchy short segment in dorsal cord at D2 to D4 and D7 to D8, and also a syrinx formation from cervico-medullary to C2 vertebrae as shown in Figure 1.
T1-weighted axial (a) and T2-weighted axial (b) brain magnetic resonance imaging showing multiple discrete confluent T2 high signal intensity noted in bilateral periventricular white matter and centrum semiovale along with prominent extra axial cerebrospinal fluid space with proportionate dilatation of ventricles giving impression of age-related small vessel disease and age-related cerebral atrophy.
