ABSTRACT
Background: Compressive myelopathy is the spinal cord compression either from outside or within the cord itself and MRI is often used to diagnose this problem. Objectives & Methods: A descriptive imaging study of 30 patients was carried out by 1.5 TESLA MRI scanner with the objective to study the various causes of compressive myelopathy and MRI features of them to evaluate the role of MRI in diagnosis of the various causes of compressive myelopathy. Result: In this study, 30 cases of compressive myelopathy were studied and we found various different causes for compression. Among these, extradural compression due to trauma (40%) was the most common cause of compressive myelopathy, followed by infectious causes (26.6%), secondary neoplasm (20%) and primary neoplasms (13.3%). Conclusion: MRI is very de?nitive, sensitive, accurate, though costly, but very speci?c and non invasive, radiation free modality for evaluation of compressive myelopathy.
