Anatomic-Radiologic Basis of Lhermitte's Sign in Multiple Sclerosis
Arch Neurol 50:849-851, Gutrecht,J.A.,et al, 1993
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
A strong association between Lhermitte's sign and abnormalities of the cervical spinal cord seen on magnetic resonance imaging was noted.Most of the abnormalities were in the posterior part of the cervical spinal cord. The findings confirm the presumption that a lesion in the posterior columns of the cervical spinal cord is the cause of Lhermitte's sign in multiple sclerosis.
