MRI cervical spine study at time of admission in ICU of our institute. Sagittal T2W MR image (a) shows T2 hyperintense signal in the posterior pons and medulla (dotted arrow). There is extensive T2 hyperintense signal involving the anterior aspect of the entire cervical cord (arrows). Axial T2W MR image (b) at C5 level shows hyperintense signal in the central grey matter, especially anterior horn cells (arrow). Contrast-enhanced axial T1W MR image at C5 (c) shows no abnormal enhancement in the central grey matter or in the surrounding white matter of cord.
