MRI OF THE ANTERIOR SPINAL ARTERY SYNDROME
Abstract
MRI of the anterior spinal artery syndrome was demonstrated at the lower thoracic level and the conus medullaris, in a 63-year-old female diabetic patient. The size and the signal of the cord was not change on T1WI and there was central bright signal at the cord on T2WI. Aortic dissection was noted at the abdominal aorta in the axial images.
