A fifty-six-year-old woman with classical rheumatoid arthritis had subacute onset of paraparesis due to thoracic epidural rheumatoid nodules. Although plain radiograms and computed tomograms of the thoracic spine were negative except for old compression fractures, magnetic resonance imaging revealed thoracic spinal cord compression due to masses at multiple levels. There was a steady recovery after excision surgery.
一名56岁患有典型类风湿关节炎的女性因胸段硬膜外类风湿结节出现亚急性截瘫。尽管胸椎的X线平片和计算机断层扫描除了陈旧性压缩骨折外均为阴性，但磁共振成像显示多个节段的肿块导致胸段脊髓受压。切除手术后病情稳步恢复。
