MR imaging of acute transverse myelitis.
Magnetic resonance imaging has proven to be useful in the diagnosis of spinal cord pathology. Little has been written in the literature concerning magnetic resonance imaging of acute transverse myelitis. A case of magnetic resonance imaging of acute transverse myelitis in a young man with known systemic lupus erythematosus is presented along with a review of the radiographic approach to transverse myelitis.
