Abstract
Spinal cord infarction may present as longitudinally extensive myelopathy, similar to inflammatory myelitis such as neuromyelitis optica. Magnetic resonance imaging features such as diffusion-weighted imaging/apparent diffusion coefficient showing restricted diffusion and lack of contrast enhancement are helpful in the diagnosis of spinal cord infarction and differentiating them from inflammatory myelitis.
