T2-weighted MRI showed a high-intensity signal in the cervical cord (A: sagittal view, B: axial view), which was partially enhanced on gadolinium-DTPA T1-weighted MRI (C: sagittal view, D: axial view). The patient was 23 years of age.

T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a high-intensity signal in the cervical cord; this lesion was partially enhanced on gadolinium-diethylenetriaminepentaacetate (DTPA) T1-weighted MRI (Fig. 1).
A hypertrophic nerve in the subcutaneous area of the patient's right neck was observed. The patient was 27 years of age.

An enlarged subcutaneous nerve was observed on the right side of the neck (Fig. 2).
Nerve conduction studies showed a marked delay (A: right median nerve, conduction velocity [CV] 14.7 m/s, B: left ulnar nerve, CV 10.5 m/s), and prominent temporal dispersion.

The distal latencies were not prolonged, and temporal dispersion was very prominent (Fig. 3A: right median nerve, 3B: left ulnar nerve).
T2-weighted cervical MRI demonstrates homogenous swelling and strong signals in the nerve roots (A, B: coronal view, C: axial view). The patient was 27 years of age.

MRI showed hypertrophy of the cervical nerves (Fig. 4), lumbar roots, and cauda equina (Fig. 5).
