Intervention: Magnetic resonance imaging revealed impingement on the thoraciccord by a mass.
2
Neurological examination revealed paraplegia, total sensory loss down from the level of the sixth thoraciccord and sphincteric disturbances.
3
A 77-year-old woman developed recurrent transverse myelopathy of the thoraciccord about a year after acute retrobulbar optic neuropathy on the left.
4
Three years later, MRI demonstrated a severe longitudinal and segmental atrophy of the mid to low thoraciccord which resulted in transverse spinal signs.
5
The corresponding relationships in the thoraciccord are unknown owing to technical difficulties in assessing GM and WM compartments by conventional magnetic resonance imaging techniques.
6
Tumors extended into the cervical cord in 13 patients, the thoraciccord in 7 patients, and the conus medullaris in 6 patients.
7
Thoraciccord GM areas were correlated with lower limb function.
8
Conclusions and relevance: Thoraciccord GM atrophy can be detected in vivo in the absence of WM atrophy in RMS.
