Specific Pattern of Gadolinium Enhancement in Spondylotic Myelopathy Ann Neurol 76:54-65, Flanagan, E.P.,et al, 2014 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Transverse pancakelike gadolinium enhancement associated with and just caudal to the site of maximal stenosis and at the rostrocaudal midpoint of a spindle-shaped T2 hyperintensity suggests that spondylosis is the cause of the myelopathy. Persistent enhancement for months to years following decompressive surgery is common. Recognition is important to prevent inappropriate interventions or delay in consideration of a potentially beneficial decompressive surgery.
