Objective To explore the Diagnostic Value of MRI in Subacute Combined Degeneration of the Spinal Cord. Methods Retrospective analysis of clinic and ultrasonic image data of 14 suffers (confirmed by MRI) of Subacute Combined Degeneration of the Spinal Cord. All cases undergo scanning in T1WI、FS T2WI,T2WI, with three cases for GD-DTPA enhanced scanning. Results 7 out of 14 cases show successive stripshaped high signal, among which 4 cases present punctuate reverse V-shaped high signal in posterior funiculus of spinal cord, and other 3 cases for T2WI scanning are not shown in focal zone; 7 out of 14 cases for FS T2WI scanning show no clear sign focal zone yet show point-shaped sigh signal in posterior funiculus of spinal cord; 3 cases for enhanced scanning in focal zone show no obvious high signal. Conclusion MRI T2WI serves as an ideal point for showing focal zone of Subacute Combined Degeneration of the Spinal Cord.
