Acute Severe Spinal Cord Dysfunction in Bacterial Meningitis in Adults
Arch Neurol 58:806-810, Kastenbauer,S.,et al, 2001
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We demonstrate for the first time the MRI findings of adults with acute spinal cord involvement during bacterial meningitis. Magnetic resonance imaging showed central intramedullary hyperintensities on T2-weighted images that extended from the cervical to the lumbar cord, indicating myelitis. Clinical follow-up examinations suggest that myelitis during bacterial meningitis has an unfavorable prognosis.
