  • Title: Radiation myelopathy of cervical spinal cord simulating intramedullary neoplasm.
    Author: Fogelholm R, Haltia M, Andersson LC.
    Journal: J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry; 1974 Oct; 37(10):1177-80. PubMed ID: 4443812.
    Abstract:
    Radiation myelopathy is a well-known complication of irradiation therapy of neoplasms in the vicinity of the spinal cord. Most earlier authors have stressed the association of a normal myelogram and normal CSF protein level with this condition. One case of radiation myelopathy with a myelogram simulating intramedullary neoplasm and with extremely high CSF protein concentration is presented. Six months after myelography necropsy revealed severe atrophy of the previously thickened lower cervical spinal cord. The pathogenetic mechanisms are discussed.
