Gadolinium-MRI in acute transverse myelopathy

Neurology. 1990 Oct;40(10):1614-6. doi: 10.1212/wnl.40.10.1614.

Abstract

A patient with acute transverse myelopathy (ATM) had serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies before and after administration of gadolinium (Gd-DTPA). Gd-DTPA-MRI was useful in estimating the pathologic extent and residual deficit expected in ATM.
