Abstract

We will explain the differential points of spinal cord tumors and nonneoplastic myelopathies in this chapter. We will describe the radiologic findings of common spinal cord neoplasms, acute transverse myelitis, multiple sclerosis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, acute spinal cord infarction, and syringomyelia.
