FIG 1. Case 2: Cervical spine MR study obtained after onset of neck pain and left upper distal extremity dysesthesia, 3 days after vertebral disruption and chemotherapy.
A, Sagittal T2-weighted image depicts hyperintense cord signal extending from C2 to C5. The hyperintense signal is cone-shaped and centered at the C3 level. Cord enlargement is visible at C3–C4.
B, Axial fast spin-echo T2-weighted image at C3–C4 shows abnormal hyperintense signal occupying the left centrolateral portion of the cord, with a distribution involving primarily the gray matter bilaterally and the left posterolateral white matter (arrow).
C, Sagittal T2-weighted image 2 months after the onset of symptoms shows residual abnormal hyperintense signal in the posterior aspect of the cord at C3–C4. Cord enlargement is no longer noticeable.
