Differenzialdiagnose spinaler
intramedullärer Läsionen

Was dieser Beitrag leistet

Die MRT ist die Methode der Wahl bei der Diagnostik intraspinaler Läsionen. Anhand charakteristischer Beispiele für die verschiedenen Ätiologien intraspinaler Läsionen werden die MRT-Befunde vorgestellt und ihre Sensitivität und Spezifität dargestellt. Weitere
klinische und diagnostische Merkmale sowie differenzialdiagnostische Abgrenzungen
und Probleme werden diskutiert.
Für den eiligen Leser: s. Zusammenfassung auf S. 35.
