Figure 1. Cervical cord MRI showed a long extending swolen lesion with a strong contrast enhancement in C3-C7 during acute transverse myelitis (A, B). The contrast-enhanced lesion occupied the central gray mater and extending to the posterior column of the cervical cord (C). Brain MRI showed a few high signal lesions in the cerebral deep white mater, juxtacortical white mater and bilateral internal capsules extending to the upper pons on T2 images (D, E). □ SHORT COMMUNICATION □
