TL;DR
MR images of the cervical spinal cord in patients with Friedreich's ataxia show thinning and intramedullary signal changes in the cervical portion of the spinal cord, consistent with degeneration of posterior and lateral white matter tracts.
Abstract
MR images of the cervical spinal cord in patients with Friedreich's ataxia show thinning and intramedullary signal changes in the cervical portion of the spinal cord, consistent with degeneration of posterior and lateral white matter tracts. These MR findings might be helpful for differential diagnosis in patients with progressive ataxia of uncertain clinical type.
