ABSTRACT:
Subacute combined degeneration (SACD) of the spinal cord is a common
neurological manifestation of vitamin B12 deficiency. We report a rare
finding of hyperintense T2 signal in the dorsal and lateral columns with
restricted diffusion in MR study of the thoracic spine in 47 years old
diagnosed with SACD.
Keywords: diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), B12 deficiency,
subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord (SACD).
