MRI of spinal cord cavernous disease shows a cavity-like change in the spinal cord marrow consistent with cerebrospinal fluid signal, which sometimes appears as a large spinal cord cavity in succession up and down the spinal cord, and sometimes it can appear as a bamboo-like manifestation.
Spinal Cord Cavernous Disease is a chronic progressive spinal cord disease caused by a variety of reasons. It is characterized by a distended spinal cord with overall thickening but thinning of the spinal cord parenchyma, with predominantly hydrocele-like changes in the center.
MRI can clearly show the location, size and extent of the cavities, and can also look for the cause of spinal cord cavernous disease, which is an important auxiliary examination to confirm the diagnosis of this disease.
In addition, radiographs, delayed spinal cord CT scans and other imaging aids can be used for differential diagnosis.
If spinal cord cavernous disease is suspected, one should go to the hospital for a more comprehensive examination and treatment under the guidance of a specialist.
