Abstract

Subacute combined degeneration (SACD) of the spinal cord is a common neurological manifestation of vitamin B12 deficiency. We report a rare finding of hyperintense T2 signal in the dorsal and lateral columns with restricted diffusion in MR study of the thoracic spine in 47 years old diagnosed with SACD.
