case_images: Sagittal MRI STIR sections of the cervical spine at admission (A), 2 months (C), and 12 months (E). Axial MRI TSE sections at approximatively the same level (a plane passing through the upper C6 plateau) at admission (B), 2 months (D), and 12 months (F). The hyperintense STIR cervical lesion is visible, extending from C4 to C7. Progressive fading of the increased signal is visible over time, especially on the axial images.

case_images: T2 and STIR hyperintense cervical demyelinating lesion extending from C4 to C7 levels (Figures 1A,B), cervical spondylotic changes, and degenerative lumbar stenosis at L4-L5 levels. The cerebral MRI was unremarkable except for a slight STIR hyperintense signal affecting the right ON, extending posteriorly into the optic chiasm (Figure 2). The cervical MRI showed a slightly favorable evolution of the cervical lesion (Figures 1C,D). The cervical MRI examination was discreetly improved, as the intramedullary pathological signal had continued to decrease in area and intensity (Figure 1F).
case_images: Coronal MRI STIR sections are at the intracranial optic nerves (A) and optic chiasm (B). Yellow arrows point out increased STIR signal intensity at the level of the right optic nerve and the right side of the chiasm. The blue arrow points out the left optic nerve with normal signal intensity.
