Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Myelopathy misdiagnosis is frequent, leading to delayed treatment and irreversible neurological deficits.
  • Prompt etiological determination of myelopathy is critical for effective patient outcomes.

Approach:

  • This review details a diagnostic strategy for myelopathy.
  • The approach emphasizes the temporal progression of neurological symptoms and key neuroimaging findings.
  • It is applied to diverse cases including inflammatory, structural, and vascular myelopathies.

Key Points:

  • Clinical assessment and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the spine are essential for accurate myelopathy diagnosis.
  • Understanding the timeline of symptom development aids in differentiating myelopathy causes.
  • Specific neuroimaging features can provide diagnostic clues for various myelopathy types.

Conclusions:

  • A systematic diagnostic approach combining clinical evaluation, symptom progression analysis, and targeted MRI interpretation can improve the accuracy and speed of myelopathy diagnosis.
  • Timely and correct diagnosis facilitates appropriate and disease-specific treatment, mitigating the risk of permanent disability.
