Dichotomy Between Clinical Findings & MR Abnormalities in Pontine Infarction J Comput Assist Tomogr 10:379-385, Biller,J.,et al, 1986 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract High signal intensity was observed in six patients(11 examinations)at the level of the posterior columns cephalad to the primary injury site on T2- weighted and proton density-weighted imaging at 10 week to 12 month intervals postinjury.In these six patients the posterior column was involved at the primary injury site.The abnormal intensity cephalad to the injury site is thought to represent wallerian degeneration,which should be considered in the differential diagnoses of spinal intramedullary lesions.
