The goal of the exhibit is: 1. To provide a case based pictorial review of non compressive myelopathy 2. To understand clinical presentation of various myelopathies 3. To develop an approach by means of MRI imaging features that can help generate a reasonable differential diagnosis and guide further management  

1. MR imaging in excluding compressive myelopathy and establishing intrinsic cord abnormality and excluding intrinsic cord neoplasm. 2. Case based review of clinical presentation and MR imaging features of non compressive myelopathy under following broad categories • Inflammatory o Transverse myelitis o Infectious myelitis: HIV/ CMV/ viral/ bacterial/ fungal o Granulomatous diseases: sarcoidosis o Radiation myelitis • Vascular o Arterial infarction o Venous o Cavernous malformation  • Demyelination o MS o NMO • Metabolic o Vitamin B12 deficiency o Copper deficiency • CSF dysfunction o Presyrinx State o Syringomyelia
