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:
- Longitudinal T2-weighted hyperintensity in the dorsal columns of the spinal cord[1][2]
- Narrowing between the cervical discs and partial ankylosis of the cervical disc space[3]
- Bilateral high intensity signals on the T2 weighted sequence located in mesiotemporal, insular, frontal regions[4]
- Calcification of the ligamentum flavum[3]
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]
