[MRI in funicular myelosis].
The MRI morphology in combined subacute degeneration has only rarely been reported. We describe two patients suffering from subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord on the basis of a deficiency of vitamin B12. In both patients characteristic hyperintense areas on T2-weighted images in the posterior columns of the cervical and thoracic cord without contrast enhancement were demonstrated by MRI.
