We report on a case of a 52-year-old male with sudden paraparesis. The initial MRI showed contrast enhancement of the conus medullaris and the complete cauda equina. Follow-up MRI revealed a spinal ischemia in the anterior portion of the spinal cord. Only a few reports with similar findings have been published. We suggest that contrast enhancement of the conus medullaris and descending nerve roots can be a potential first indicator of a spinal cord ischemia.
我们报告一例52岁男性突发双下肢轻瘫的病例。最初的MRI显示圆锥和整个马尾有强化表现。随访MRI显示脊髓前部存在脊髓缺血。仅有少数几篇报道有类似发现。我们认为圆锥和下行神经根的强化可能是脊髓缺血的一个潜在早期指标。
