Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a clinical syndrome secondary to a spinal cord compression due to cervical spondylosis. In some cases, conventional MRI typically shows an intramedullary hyperintense signal on T2W imaging and contrast enhancement on post-gadolinium T1W imaging. We report a series of seven patients with CSM who had typical clinical presentation and imaging findings on T2W and contrast-enhanced T1W sequences. The imaging findings included degenerative changes of the cervical spine, intramedullary T2-signal hyperintensity, and an intramedullary enhancement on post-gadolinium T1W images. Our results support the statement that the presence of an intramedullary gadolinium-enhancement with a flat transverse pancake-like pattern (on sagittal images) and a circumferential pattern (on axial images), located within a T2-signal abnormality, in patients with cervical spondylosis and clinical myelopathy is indicative of spondylosis as the cause of the myelopathy.
脊髓型颈椎病(CSM)是一种继发于颈椎病导致脊髓受压的临床综合征。在某些情况下,传统的磁共振成像(MRI)通常在T2加权成像上显示脊髓内高信号,在钆增强T1加权成像上显示强化。我们报告了一系列7例脊髓型颈椎病患者,他们在T2加权和钆增强T1加权序列上有典型的临床表现和影像学表现。影像学表现包括颈椎退变、脊髓内T2信号高增强以及钆增强T1加权图像上的脊髓内强化。我们的结果支持这样的观点,即对于患有颈椎病和临床脊髓病的患者,在T2信号异常区域内存在呈扁平横向煎饼样模式(矢状位图像)和圆周模式(轴位图像)的脊髓内钆增强,表明颈椎病是脊髓病的病因。
