A study of role of magnetic resonance imaging in the evaluation of compressive myelopathy
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Radiology - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
A descriptive imaging study of 30 patients was carried out by 1.5 TESLA MRI scanner with the objective to study the various causes of compressive myelopathy and MRI features of them to evaluate role of MRI in diagnosis of the various causes of compressive myelopathy. In our study of 30 cases of compressive myelopathy we found various different causes for compression. Among these are trauma12, infectious causes (08), primary neoplasms (04) and secondary neoplasm (06). Most common causes for compressive myelopathy in our study are extradural compression from trauma (40%) and infective/TB (26.67%).
