Abstract

The authors present the initial and follow-up MR findings in a patient with subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord, a complication of vitamin B12 deficiency, and a rare cause of demyelination of the dorsal and lateral columns of the spinal cord.

Five months after treatment, the abnormal signal intensity was noted to have decreased.
