TL;DR: The MR appearance of extramedullary hematopoiesis resulting in cord compression in a patient with a myelodysplastic syndrome is reported, which was isointense with the spinal cord on T1-weighted images and markedly hypointense on fast spin-echo T2- Weighted images, and that demonstrated enhancement.
Abstract: Spinal cord compression caused by extramedullary hematopoiesis is a rare complication of chronic anemic states, most frequently occurring in patients with beta-thalassemia. We report the MR appearance of extramedullary hematopoiesis resulting in cord compression in a patient with a myelodysplastic syndrome, which was isointense with the spinal cord on T1-weighted images and markedly hypointense on fast spin-echo T2-weighted images, and that demonstrated enhancement.

TL;DR: An elderly patient with aggressive steroid-refractory giant cell arteritis manifesting as myelopathy and bilateral visual loss while on treatment and was due to extensive necrotizing granulomatous arteritis of spinal arteries is reported.
Abstract: We report an elderly patient with aggressive steroid-refractory giant cell arteritis manifesting as myelopathy and bilateral visual loss while on treatment. Pathologically, spinal cord infarction was observed and was due to extensive necrotizing granulomatous arteritis of spinal arteries. Spinal cord damage in giant cell arteritis is rare. One prior autopsy report of spinal cord infarction in giant cell arteritis did not identify vasculitic changes in the spinal arteries.
