MRI Thoracic spine demonstrating abnormally increased T2 hyperintensity with expansion as seen on Sagittal T2 (top left) and Sagittal STIR (top right) extending from approximately the T10 vertebral level to the conus medullaris which terminates at approximately L1. Given lack of enhancement as demonstrated by the Sagittal T1 (bottom left) and Sagittal T1 post contrast (bottom right), this is most consistent with cord edema. No convincing evidence of cord signal abnormality above these levels. Considering the normal brain MRI, this abnormality most likely represents acute transverse myelitis.
