case_images: Spine MRI demonstrates an acute infarct at T12 and L1 vertebrae levels: sagittal image shows a lesion with restricted diffusion demonstrated by a high signal on DWI (a), confirmed by low ADC values (b); axial image demonstrates bilaterally symmetric pathologically increased T2WI signal (c), which involves predominantly gray matter. This pattern is also known as an "owl-eyes" sign or a "snake-eyes" sign. MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; DWI, diffusion-weighted imaging; ADC, apparent diffusion coefficient; T2WI, T2-weighted imaging.

case_images: Diffusion restriction within the spinal cord was demonstrated at the level of the lesion (shown in Fig. 1).
