While demyelination is the most common etiology of longitudinally extensive myelopathy, other causes are important to recognize. In this study, we present the case of a longitudinal cervical lesion with a very rare cause. We discuss the approach to the differential diagnosis and workup for longitudinal myelopathy. This clinical reasoning case also illustrates the anatomical relationship between symptomatic spinal cord lesions and nonsymptomatic intracranial etiologies.
虽然脱髓鞘是长节段横贯性脊髓病最常见的病因,但其他原因也很重要。在本研究中,我们报告了一例非常罕见病因的纵向颈段病变。我们讨论了鉴别诊断和长节段脊髓病检查的方法。这个临床推理病例还说明了有症状的脊髓病变与无症状的颅内病因之间的解剖关系。
