Characteristic MRI findings include sulcal enhancement or obliteration, linear ependymal enhancement, cranial nerve root enhancement and leptomeningeal enhancing nodules, notably of the cauda equina. Prospective systematic studies addressing sensitivity and specificity of MRI in distinguishing LM from other ...

The further the changes of the lumbosacral discospondylitis progress, the more neurological deficits (e.g. loss of sensitivity and proprioception, posterior paresis or paralysis, cauda equina syndrome) and muscle atrophy [3, 4, 13, 17] may occur. In our case, differential diagnoses such as ...
Results: Ten of the 11 patients revealed contrast enhancement in varying degrees in the spinal nerve roots surrounding the conus medullaris and extending the length of the cauda equina. One patient showed no contrast enhancement. Anterior nerve roots enhanced more intensely than the posterior roots ...
