Distinct hyperintense MRI signal changes in the corticospinal tracts of a patient with motor neuron disease

Abstract

Neuroimaging in motor neuron disease extensive (MND)is currently performed to exclude other pathologies, though abnormalities may be seen which are consistent with the diagnosis. We report a patient with rapidly progressive MND exhibiting changes on a variety of contemporary magnetic resonance images, which is most likely to represent severe corticospinal tract degeneration.
