title: MR imaging of acute transverse myelitis.
abstract: 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.
