case_images: MRI of the entire spine with gadolinium contrast. (A) Axial T2-weighted image at the level of T11 demonstrating a hyperintense signal within the spinal cord, suggestive of inflammation and edema. (B) Sagittal T2-weighted image shows hyperintense signal changes at the level of T10-T12 thoracic vertebrae, indicative of an inflammatory process without compressive lesions. These findings are consistent with transverse myelitis.

case_images: T2 hyperintense signal changes at the level of (10-11-12) thoracic vertebrae, often related to an inflammatory process with no compressive lesion (Figure 1), so electromyography (EMG) was not performed. The patient was managed with short courses of intravenous (IV) antibiotic methylprednisolone solumedrol for 5 days, but he did not get better.
