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.
