Cervical cord (MRI)

T2-weighted sagittal MRI of the cervical cord demonstrates atrophy in a 32-year-old patient with urinary retention, spastic paraparesis, and HTLV-1 detectable in the CSF. This finding has been described previously in HAM/TSP. Atrophy was found at a similar rate in the patient with multiple sclerosis the authors studied.
