Abstract

Metabolic and toxic myelopathies usually occurs due to several different causes. Metabolic myelopathy usually occurs due to deficiency of a nutrient, such as vitamin B12. Toxic myelopathy occurs secondary to the exposure to an external toxic agent. Although they may have a difficult diagnosis, determination of the specific cause of myelopathy is of utmost importance, because many causes are amenable to treatment. Although they have many clinical, electrophysiologic, and neuropathologic similarities, imaging may aid in the suspicion of toxic or metabolic myelopathy. The aim of this article, is to review the imaging features of the main toxic and metabolic myelopathies.

毒性和代谢性脊髓炎的影像学表现

代谢性和毒性脊髓病通常由几种不同的原因引起。代谢性脊髓病通常是由于缺乏维生素B12等营养物质而发生的。中毒性脊髓病继发于暴露于外部有毒物质。尽管他们的诊断可能很困难，但确定脊髓病的具体原因至关重要，因为许多原因都可以治疗。尽管它们在临床、电生理和神经病理学上有许多相似之处，但成像可能有助于怀疑毒性或代谢性脊髓病。本文的目的是回顾主要的毒性和代谢性脊髓病的影像学特征。
