Overview

[spinal] MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of [tabes dorsalis]. Findings on MRI suggestive of/diagnostic of [tabes dorsalis] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].


MRI

  • Spinal and brain MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of [tabes dorsalis]. Findings on MRI suggestive of/diagnostic of [tabes dorsalis] include:
    • [Finding 1]
    • Narrowing between the cervical discs and partial ankylosis of the cervical disc space[1]
    • Bilateral high intensity signals on the T2 weighted sequence located in mesiotemporal, insular, frontal regions[2]

OR

  • There are no MRI findings associated with [disease name]. However, a MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include:
    • [Complication 1]
    • [Complication 2]
    • [Complication 3]
