We report two cases of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) with extensive T2-weighted intramedullary changes noted on preoperative imaging extending far beyond the level of compression. A delayed resolution 2 years after cervical oblique corpectomy was noted in both cases. This short report cautions against diagnosing this unusual magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) finding as an intramedullary tumour, demyelination or an inflammatory process.
我们报告两例脊髓型颈椎病（CSM），术前影像学检查发现广泛的T2加权像脊髓内改变，范围远远超出受压水平。两例患者在颈椎斜位椎体次全切除术后2年均出现延迟恢复。本简短报告提醒不要将这种不寻常的磁共振成像（MRI）表现诊断为脊髓内肿瘤、脱髓鞘或炎症过程。
