    Fig 1.

    A, Sagittal view through the brain stem and cervical spinal cord shows the extent of T2 hyperintensities involving the pyramidal tract and posterior columns (black arrow), extending along the brain stem (white arrow). B, Axial section through the cervical spinal cord shows the strikingly symmetric T2 hyperintense lateral corticospinal tracts and posterior columns. Thoracic spine MR imaging findings were unremarkable (not shown).

    MR images of the brain (axial sections, fluid-attenuated reversion recovery sequences) show the symmetric hyperintensities (arrows) involving the pyramidal tract in the (A) medulla, (B) pons, and (C) midbrain.
