Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Cauda Equina in Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy Ann Neurol 33:311-313, Crino,P.B.,et al, 1993 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract We report a patient with biopsy priven chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy whose megnetic resonance imaging demonstrated abnormal enhancement of the cauda equina after administration of gadolinium. Enhancement may reflect alteration of the blood-nerve barrier secondary to inflammation.Magentic resonance imaging of the cauda equina could be a useful adjunct in the early diagnosis of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy.
