Copper deficiency has been associated with a clinical syndrome, myeloneuropathy. Radiographic changes resembling B(12) deficiency in the cervical spinal cord have been described. We present a case of copper deficiency myeloneuropathy, with cervical MR imaging findings resembling B(12) deficiency, which partially reversed following copper supplementation. This is, to our knowledge, the first described case of radiographic improvement with copper supplementation.
铜缺乏与一种临床综合征——脊髓神经病有关。已经描述了颈椎脊髓中类似维生素B12缺乏的影像学改变。我们报告一例铜缺乏性脊髓神经病病例,其颈椎磁共振成像表现类似于维生素B12缺乏,补充铜后部分症状得到改善。据我们所知,这是首例补充铜后影像学改善的病例报道。
